Fun fact: When choosing my starter for the first time, all I knew about Pokémon was: “It’s a game I saw someone play at school once and it kind of looked like an RPG and I love those!” I genuinely just went with what looked cool to me and had no idea there were “actual” dragon Pokémon.
Also +1 on dom@lemmy.ca noting, that Gyarados is the cool dragon in Gen1
Haha. My story is similar I wasn’t super early to Pokémon but I had a deep love of early final fantasy games so I jumped right to it on gameboy. I was the perfect age.
I don’t remember who my original starter was. It could have very likely been Charmander, I know bulbs is the one that I’ve used on every subsequent play through of gen 1
Pretty much the exact same story here, only my obsession was more with PC-DOS RPGs like Ultima, Wizardry, Goldbox games, thanks to my father and older siblings influencing me there.

Gyarados has never been a dragon type
