>>26763599>They were made to fit into the Pokemon "world"I probably should have explained better, my previous statement is pretty weak.
The problem with Pidgey? Get a photo of a sparrow, and add some crests to it, and you get a pidgey. I would say that's 'lazy design'
Growlithe and Seel as well are pretty lazy designs - just get a real animal and modify it slightly. Come to think of it, almost the entire RBY Pokemon minus the starters, Pikachu, Dratini-line and the legendaries are just lazy designs in general.
