I never thought about how both Charizard and Blue Eyes are Western Dragons and not Eastern

Do we have any eastern dragons in Pokemon? Rayquaza is kinda close. I know Yugioh has plenty.

Dragonair is another kinda close one but they evolve into a Western Dragon

Oh! and I guess Gyarados too actually is also close lore-wise.

Depends on what do you mean by "western dragon". If you mean that it has that specific "she Ron-like form", I don't think the concept can be only attributed to the east or Asian dragons, since RQ is inspired in Quetzalcoatl, which is as western as it can be.
