Dragon (type): Difference between revisions

* The Dragon type and the idea of "dragons" are not the same in the [[Pokémon world]], as some Pokémon which are not Dragon-type sometimes are referred to as dragons. This idea is further supported by [[Lance]]'s [[Pokémon Masters EX]] dialogue, stating that not all dragons are Dragon-type Pokémon.<ref name=LanceMas>{{mas|Lance}}: "This outfit shows off Gyarados's power as a dragon! What's that, you say? Gyarados isn't a Dragon-type Pokémon? Haha, not all dragons are Dragon-type Pokémon!" ({{pkmn|Masters EX}})</ref> Some non-Dragon-type Pokémon which have been referred to as dragons include:
