Pokemon Legends: Z-A put my favorite Pokemon on a random roof, and it couldn’t have been a more fitting spot

Pokemon Legends ZA dratini.

In the southeast portion of Pokémon Legends: Z-A's Lumiose City, on the roof of a restaurant called Café Le Nah, you can find a spawn point for Dratini. It's not the only spot where you can catch one, but a quick look on social media shows that more than a few fans have deemed this place the unofficial "Dratini roof," the go-to place to nab what was originally one of Pokémon's few Dragon-type monsters.

But it isn't exactly a fall from grace to see this elegant creature so errantly plopped on a rooftop. In the first set of games, Red & Blue, your initial chance to nab a Dratini ("long considered a mythical Pokémon" read the Pokedex) came as a casino prize. That's par for the course for Dratini, though, and the rest of its evolutionary line which includes the graceful Dragonair and the cuddly, final boss-ready Dragonite.

Those Pokémon represent the wide scope of the franchise like few others, from its pop culture influences to the way that it's evolved over the years.
