That is true, though if the offspring stays in the same region that would result in the same form repeatedly, or alternately if the aether changes to yet another unique imbalance. And for a little wild speculation, what if even within known patterns mutations happen? The thrown in any possible hybridization with man so forms become more fixed.

Back on just dragon themselves though: Your Pokemon analogy has me grinning at the thought of "Alolan Form" dragons. XD
