Is it me, or is Dragon the least diverse Type ever?
There are, currently, 13 fully-evolved Dragon Types who are neither Legendaries or Mega Evolutions. Yes, that's a low number, but what's even lower is the number of those dragons who have a dual type that isn't Flying or Ground:
Four.
Kingdra (Water/Dragon), Hydreigon (Dark/Dragon), Dragalge (Poison/Dragon), and Tyrantrum (Rock/Dragon). That's it. Only one of those even existed before Gen 5, and two--half of them--were only introduced in the most recent Generation.
What gives? Why is Game Freak so unwilling to make non-Legendary, non-Mega dragons who aren't monotype, Dragon/Flying, or Dragon/Ground?
You could say that they wanted most non-Legendary dragons to have a 4x Ice weakness, but if that's the case, then why haven't we seen a Dragon/Grass? And, why did they make Kingdra, Hydreigon, and the monotype dragons? Besides, it's not like Ice is the only thing that's strong against Dragon anymore.
As much as people joked about Lance being a "Flying Master," that's the sad reality of the Dragon Type. Most people aren't going to use Legendaries, and you can only have one Mega, so a mono-Dragon team would inevitably be one full of Flying or Ground Types. And, that's just boring.
No, I don't want Dragon to have numbers like Water, but a little more variety would be nice.
