Pokémon: The Illogical Evolutions:

Magikarp > Gyarados
Remoraid > Octillery
Feebas > Milotic

According to Bulbapedia, Magikarp is based off of an ancient Chinese legend that states that if a carp jumps over the Dragon's Gate, it will become a dragon.

Why then, is Gyarados Water/Flying and not Water/Dragon? My theory is that it was a Generation I programming area that they decided was better not to correct.

So there is some logic behind that one.

What about the other two strange Water-type evolutions? Why would a remora evolve into an Octopus. A bass into a sea serpent?

Was there a Generation IV "Illogical Evolution?"

Feebas>Milotic makes sense.

And if you tell people on Serebii.net that Gyarados should be water/dragon they'll flame you. They have debated it many times, but I forget the explanation.

How does Feebas > Milotic make sense?

Try to dig up that argument. It sounds interesting...

It evolves when you max out its beauty. Feebas is an ugly fish that dreams of being beautiful and when its beauty is high enough these emotions trigger evolution.

It's the story of the ugly duckling, but it's a fish and not a duck.

As for Gyarados... I kinda agree with you there, cheese. I'd assume that it was originally because Dratini/Dragonair/Dragonite were supposed to be the only dragons, but now that they have all these other dragons, why not? And why the heck is he a flying, anyway? He doesn't look like much of a flier to me.

I can scientifically prove that boredom can kill you. However, by the time I figure out how to prove it, I'd have already died of boredom.

Well, sure I guess that makes sense. I was talking more on a biological level.

Exactly, Virus. Gyarados can't learn any Flying type moves, with the exception of Hidden Power Flying. If it were Water/Dragon, it would have only one weakness - Dragon. It would be Kingdra on steroids.

Well if he can fly that justifies enough of the fly type for me!

His little fin things look like wings.

By that logic, Goldeen should be part flying.

My point was that in 3D games both Goldeen and Gyarados float. That is the logical I thought you were going by.

What about Torchic? It's a bird, but it evolves into a fighting Pokemon, for crying out loud!
