I HAVE TO SEE GRUMPY ADULT RED DO THE CATASTROPIKA DANCE SO BAD HOLY poo poo.

Also jesus loving christ Cynthia. Woman is committed to that look. Wearing black fur. In Hawaii.

Unless she's hiding a Vanniluxe in her bra or something all your battles with her are just going to end after one round when she collapses with heatstroke.

Staraptor is fantastic and I'll always appreciate them for breaking the Route 1 trashbird stigma. My only complaint is its Gen 6 model make it look way too small for a 4' long bird of prey.

Come to think, I got a HA Dream Ball Starly off wondertrade the other day. Hello new breeding project...

Swellow was passable more than good.

It shone for a brief time in that magical gen III period where almost nothing had a good ability so Guts was like a revelation.

Well, they have good...personalities, I'm sure.

Birds are all great, but so many of them get hampered by terrible movepools. If only Unfezant actually got to use its Super Luck in a meaningful way.

I just saw the trailer, I guess Red and Blue finally got married and now they're on a Hawaiian honeymoon.

Primarina is fabulous, but his signature move is lame. Oh well, I can still teach him Scald and Ice beam and he gets STAB fairy moves so a signature move isn't really needed.

Unfezant is such a mess of design decisions.

"Lets make a route 1 bird with good attack and bad special attack. Then, get this, it only learns special flying attacks."

"So basically Staraptor minus Close Combat and with a lovely level-up movepool?"

"Yeah, also give it a garbage ability and call it a day"

They should really all be Grass given that they are all partially wood masks, in my opinion.

yeah, hopefully a legendary with an ability that automatically puts up grassy terrain, and is also part fairy type, and looks like he has really high attack, is good. it really could go either way on that one.

The problem is that it's called Grass and not Plant or Nature or something more broad.
