>>23414975>Zapdos has an awful design, there isn't any justification for itYes there is. It's an electric Pokemon. Pokemon usually have traits of their type put into their design. Electricity is associated with sharp zigzaggy shapes. So its entire body is a sharp zigzaggy shape. Making the wings realistic would hurt more than help.
Wingull's wings are just simple for the sake of being simple. Even its tailfeathers have more detail put into them than its wings.
