Flight Rising Discussion

im kinda wondering, were there ever any one certain kind of dragons that were widely popular? was the community ever small enough for one type of dragon to be? because besides when a new gene or something is released and that gets popular for like a week, it seems like theres just too many people and different tastes for anything to actually be "popular" which is kinda cool, everyones got their own themes and stuff

im curious too though, what kind of dragon trends were there?

[/quote] People are generally talking about major trends, i.e. colour or gene combos that for a period of time were being heavily bree and purchased, usually at a higher price. Triples were huge for a long while, and had a resurgence when the colour wheel expanded. Snowbellies were huge at one point along with xxys generally. Pastels were a more recent trend (particularly 'pink lemonade'), then pseudo-triples where all the accent colours matched one of the other colours. Deity dragons had their heyday... That's about all I can remember if the top of my head.

[/quote] Pretty varied but new stuff is generally popular, along with shiny genes like star/con but its mostly personal taste. Pastels never really seem to go fully out of style, same with eyeburners and grayscales but these have their ups and downs as to popularity.

Popular now? Newest stuff is a safe bet. Lots of Abbies and Obelisks. Fair amount of Pharoh/Sarcophagus. I see very heavy use of Flaunt/Flair (its definitely an awesome gene set). I can't say I've noticed any one tert used with them more than others.... I think I remember seeing a few Pha/sarc/ghost (or glimmer, glimmer is still really popular). I feel like for abbies you see slime/sludge/polypore in some green ranges often.

Are Boulder/Myrid popular? I feel like they should be but I can't say I've seen it often in scrying threads so idk.

I think some oldies are still popular though, I still see a lot of wasp/bee dragons with glimmer or stained or whatever really.

Flaunt/Flair is probably the most popular combo right now, but anything new is a safe bet. XYZs are also extremely popular right now, unlike the past, where they were typically shafted for XXY/XYYs or XXXs.
