Staraptor had 120 attack and got Brave Bird and Close Combat, which was downright bonkers by Route 1 Bird standards.

Hoothoot/Noctowl is my favorite early-game bird line; it has the most distinctive design (a clock-owl that turns into a grandfather clock-owl, instead of a songbird that turns into a bird of prey), and as a nocturnal bird, it showcases the day/night system. And despite being a Normal/Flying type like the other early birds, it has special-oriented stats and learns a bunch of Psychic-type attacks. The others sort of blur together, but the Hoothoot line stands out.

YaketySass posted:Doesn't Flying double as "the Bird type" though? Sort of. IIRC, the original plan was to have a Bird type and a Flying type, with the latter being for non-Bird flyers like Zubat and Dragonite. They sort of merged and re-split them to create the existing Flying and Dragon types. The legacy of this is still present in Gen I move typings (bird-themed moves like Peck were Flying-type even in Gen I, while air-themed moves like Gust were Normal-type).

Ooh, bird chat! When I first played Gen 4, Staraptor became my favourite bird Pokemon because of Close Combat and Brave Bird. Claire was a vital member of my team in Platinum. It looks really cool too. Then in gen 6, I fell in love with Talonflame because.... Talonflame. Roger was a member of my team and then I trained up Shayera for the Battle Maison. Cool bird with cool (hot) moves. Now my favourite might be Toucannon because toucans are just great and I love my angry toucan Judy. It’s got a surprisingly wide move pool too and Beak Blast has saved my butt on more than one occasion. Did you know it still has the power to burn opponents if Toucannon is asleep? I took part in a Pokemon League at an anime convention this weekend and the gym leaders were surprised by Toucannon’s movepool.

my first time through Blue I liked Pigeot so much that it was in the high 70s and everyone else was high 40s/low 50s when I got to the Elite Four, still absolutely demolished everyone except Lorelei who caught that Charizard

Idea for a Pokemon game: You start out as a member of an evil Team, your starter Pokemon is one out of the three (?) options of Pokes commonly used by the Team. Eventually you realize what you're doing is evil, you become good, etc.

Pokemon Colosseum and XD have a lot of issues(particularly pacing) but they're pretty unique and I really liked them. Before HG/SS they were the easiest source of Ho-oh and Lugia too. Also if you can get one the American bonus disk is still the easiest source of Jirachi.Farecoal posted:Idea for a Pokemon game: You start out as a member of an evil Team, your starter Pokemon is one out of the three (?) options of Pokes commonly used by the Team.

Talonflame is the best bird (in my opinion) because it's a falcon that's on FIRE and kicks people and is pretty much the equivalent of "red and fire makes you go fast" and how deadly falcons can be as hunters. What a coop bird, really!

Gripweed posted:One thing X really has going for it is Fletchling. It seems like every Pokemon game has a "it's a bird" and a "it's a varmint" Pokemon. But Fletchling actually evolves into something cool, instead of just a bigger normal bird. I hope future games do that too. I adore predatory birds of all kinds but I actually don't really like Talonflame visually for the very particular reason that it is a Pokemon: that is, it looks like "a falcon" and not some kind of cute or weird monster. For example, Mamoswine is more than "a mammoth" with his cute spherical rotundity and angry old man whiskers. For a more direct comparison even Staraptor is at least more than "a hawk" because of his punk pompadour that also makes his whole head / neck star-shaped. Talonflame's just kind of a falcon with a flame paint job; like, that's  in most contexts, but it's lacking for a Pokemon.
