[001] Eriorguez Current Version
Changed line(s) 3 from:

You don\'t get it, what I am saying, is that the respective Expies have the same function inside the game that their predecessors. Rayquaza fills the same role as Mewtwo, Ho-Oh has the same Groudon got later... The similarities with the Dratini line are an stretch, as Rayquaza is not a Pokemon that evolves, nor a pseudo-legend. By your logic, Murandoo is an Expy of Arcanine, because, while they look similar, they are very different and do not share any in-game role.

EDIT: I now get why we are conflicting: You are basing your edits in the flavour text, and I\\\'m basing them in the base stats and educated guessing at GameFreak\\\'s intentions. But, try to deny that Rayquaza was not intended to be the new Mewtwo; or Groudon and Kyogre to stand for Lugia and Ho-Oh; and then Dialga/Palkia/Giratina and Reshiram/Zekrom/Kyurem to do the same for those 3.

And, still not getting why you think Marill is more like Jigglypuff that Pikachu. It has the same face as Pikachu! Pikablu, remember that! It acting as somewhat of a mascot for Gen II! C\\\'mon, I do not understand you, at all. I\\\'d leave that to a third person.
