Oh right, this is ANOTHER line where I like everyone a lot. Seahorses are among the coolest sea animals, and all three members don't fail to live up to that standard.
Kingdra specifically, back in the GSC days, was basically a pokémon with no weaknesses, since all the Dragon moves up until then were LOL and there was hardly ever a reason to teach them to your pokémon. Things changed from Gen III and onwards, for the worse IMO, but that's another story.
Something that I like about Kingdra is how much its design was "dignified" compared to Horsea/Seadra, it looks legendary and majestic. Not to mention how powerful it sounds now: it can create Whirlpools by just yawning.
It's basically as if everytime I read a topic about alphas and betas on this board I created a tornado. Big change from the wimpy-looking Horsea, isn't it?
I only wish that it had stayed the "jack of all trades, master of none" it was in GSC, instead of becoming the umpteenth Dragon Dancer.
