In this video, I'll be discussing the design of Arcanine, how it failed, and how Moltres optimises the RBY Fire-type. This video was originally going to just be about Arcanine itself, but the topic is surprisingly broad and interesting. Glad people voted for this one on my poll, it's a strange conundrum in Pokemon.
