How is Charizard not a dragon type?

Seriously, how does GameFreak make the most dragon like pokemon in existence a fire/flying type? I guess I could understand in the first generations because getting a starter pokemon that turns into a dragon would be ridiculous. They could at least change it now..
And how is Gyrados a water/flying typee despite knowing like one flying move, looking like a dragon, and knowing several dragon moves?
RAGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

If it was Dragon/Fire or Dragon/Flying o;
Cuz that makes sense if Dragon/Fire
Dragon/Flying would make it 1/2 damage from water attacks making the poor Squirtle family even more useless D=

Also on the Gyrados thing, Lance used one.. and he uses all dragons xD
So that would make sense.

it's because that would unbalance the starters, aside from being something they just didn't do in Gen I

I picked Bulbasaur because all of friends chose Squirtle or Charmander, so I'm the only one who could get Entei in FR/LG.

Charizard is a failed attempt at being a dragon

Meanwhile, Reshiram is trolling Charizard.

The solution I guess is to add a third type.[/quote]
