Remeber that Pokemon anime episode 251 of season 5 where Ash was in Blacthorn City? Well, Clair's gym assistant metioned there somewhere that there was this unknown dragon pokemon that attacked Blackthorn City a long time ago. And there was this guy that defeated (and after he defeated it, he kept one of it's fang; the Dragon Fang that Clair does a special ceremony every 3 years) this unknown dragon pokemon and this guy became Blackthorn City's first gym leader. Now, I'm guessing since this guy "kept" a Dragon Fang from that unknown dragon pokemon that attacked Blackthorn, he couldn't have captured it, he must've killed it to yank off a big tooth from a dragons mouth. So, it takes out the possibility that this dragon fang may have belonged to his Dragonite. Besides, dragonite don't have fangs that big!

So, since the people coined the dragon pokemon as an "unknown", I'm guessing that this pokemon must have not been in the R/B/G/Y and G/S/C and FR/LG generation. So, being in a D/P/Platinum forum, who do you think is the identity of this unknown dragon pokemon? You D/P/Platinum guys already know all of the existing pokemon, so I'm asking.

I only played up to Crsytal and Fire Red so I dunno any new pokemons that match the largeness of that Dragon Fang.

Here's the episode recap if you forgot what it was:

Beauty is Skin Deep (Japanese: イブキとミニリュウ! Ibuki and Miniryu!) is episode 251 of the Pokémon anime. It was first broadcast in Japan on June 6, 2002 and in the United States on May 31, 2003.

"Ash arrives in Blackthorn City and meets Clair. A special ceremony must happen by the end of the day but she is too concerned with watching her Dratini... which Jessie decides to steal.

Having nearly arrived at Blackthorn City, Ash and company find a Dratini lying on the ground. However, when they try to get a closer look, a Gyarados appears and keeps them at bay using a Hydro Pump. A mysterious person appears, threatening them if they tried to harm the Dratini. After the confusion is sorted, the person introduces herself as Clair, and that her Gyarados was simply trying to protect her Dratini. However, when Dratini leaves, Clair and Gyarados leaves in pursuit. Ash then runs into her elderly assistant, Kaburagi, who reveals to them that Clair is the Blackthorn Gym Leader, and must perform a ritual with the Dragon Fang. As they slowly follow Clair and her Dratini upstream, Kaburagi reveals the local history: an unidentified dragon Pokémon had terrorized local residents, until it was defeated by the first Blackthorn Gym Leader, who took one of its fangs as a sign of victory. Since then, the Dragon Fang has been handed down through generations, and today is the day that they must perform a purification ritual.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket, further upstream, is relaxing when Dratini passes by. Jessie is enamoured by the Dratini, hoping to catch one for her own. As James sends out Weezing, they are suddenly washed in Gyarados' Hydro Pump, and meet face to face with Clair. When Team Rocket try to threaten her, she sends them flying by using another one of Gyarados' Hydro Pump attacks. Meanwhile, Ash and company, with Kaburagi, manage to make up their ground with Clair. Kaburagi emplores Clair to return in time for the ritual, but Clair objects, seeing as Dratini is preparing to shed its skin - a point in which Dratini are the most vulnerable. When Dratini leaves, Clair and Gyarados follow, and Ash and company have no choice but to follow them, and let Dratini shed its skin before preparing for the ritual. Team Rocket, intending on stealing Dratini, is also in pursuit - though James contends that Dratini would fetch a high price either on the open market or as a gift to Giovanni, Jessie is adamant that she keep it for herself, thinking that it is cute.

Knowing that pursuing Dratini may take the entire day, Clair takes a break for lunch. This gives an opportunity for Ash to challenge Clair, which Clair accepts. Kaburagi, noticing that Ash had won the badge from Mahogany Town, asks them whether the rumours of a Red Gyarados rampaging near town were true. Ash and company proceed to tell them the whole story, including how they had met Lance, and how they were in the middle of the entire situation. Clair and her assistant is surprised at the fact that Lance is a Pokémon G-Man, which surprises Ash (not knowing that they, too, are acquainted with Lance). Clair reveals that the two are both Dragon-type trainers who had trained with each other. Knowing this, Ash and Clair are both excited for their upcoming battle. Their lunch is disrupted by an elderly couple, who wants to take pictures with Dratini. Though Clair is reluctant, she allows the couple to go near Dratini, only for the couple to trap Dratini in a net. The couple reveal themselves as Jessie and James, while Meowth covers their escape using a smoke bomb.

While Clair is in hot pursuit on the Team Rocket balloon, Dratini tries desperately to break free by rocking the balloon. When the balloon crashes, it makes a desperate attempt into the water, which Jessie quickly stops. This allows Clair to catch up. Trying to defend themselves, James sends out Weezing, but is dispatched easily by Gyarados. Pikachu tries to Thunderbolt Team Rocket to send them flying, but Wobbuffet's Counter deflects the attack in all directions - hitting Ash, Pikachu, Team Rocket, and nearly hitting Misty, Brock, and Kaburagi. When an errant Thunderbolt is about to hit Dratini, Clair dives to protect it. Just at that moment, Dratini evolves into Dragonair, much to Jessie's dismay (who contends that it was cuter as a Dratini). As Dragonair is far more rare, Team Rocket presses on their attack, but thanks to Gyarados' Hyper Beam and Dragonair's Twister, they are sent flying.

Just as they celebrate their victory, Dragonair leaves, with everyone in pursuit. They are led to Riverhead Falls, the source of the water that leads into Blackthorn City, and the perfect place for the ritual. Ash and company are witnesses to the purification ritual, in which Clair says a prayer and proceeds to drench the Dragon Fang in the lake water. The Dragon Fang reacts, and sends a dragon-shaped beam of light into the sky. Kaburagi explains that after a dragon Pokémon dies, its body becomes a star in the sky.

The next day, Ash and friends finally make it to the city gates of Blackthorn City, as the Blackthorn Gym awaits."

Yeah, I'm sure the gamefreak planned this dragon pokemon seven years in advance so that the anime could reference it in one episode. It's DEFINATELY not meant to be an ambiguous reference by lazy anime creators who know that whatever drivel they make will be loved by 7 year olds the world over!

Errr...not the answer I expected. What I'm really asking is, due to the largeness of that dragon fang showed in that episode, it can't belong to any pokemon from the R/B/Y/G/FR/LG/S/G/C Generation. I've seen all the pokemon (some gamesharked) of the above generation and none of the dragon pokemon's fangs matches the description of the fang mentioned in the anime episode. So, you being in D/P/Platinum section and obviously already played Ruby and Sapphire and Emerald, knows about the shapes and sizes of pokemon more than I do. Since I only played up to Blue, Crystal and Fire Red.

Who do you think that "Unknown Dragon that terrorized Blackthorn City a long time ago" Dragon Fang belongs to in the D/P/Platinum version?
 
Might have been an unusually large version of something, like the giant Dragonite from the lighthouse episode.

This probably isn't the right forum to ask questions like this though, most people here don't really care about the anime.
 
What the hell? If someone actually made a list of all of the plotholes in the Pokemon anime it'd span the surface area of China. Honestly, who cares.
 
The anime sucked. This is a competetive battling site, not much of an anime fangirl space. Don't think you'll get much answers.
