>they took a stork, didn't change anything about it (they didn't even bother to make its proportions more cartoony like they did with Herdier and Toucannon before), named it "Stork" and put it in the game
GF even hired the Planet Zoo design team to make the sprite as realistic as possible. I miss when we had Pokemon that were actual monster like Aggron and Cryogriff, now we have a literal real life stork in the game and it's called "Stork". Not even the typing is interesting, it's just another Tetrapod/Amniote/Reptile/Archosaur/Dinosaur/Bird/Water/Flying type a la Pelipper and Swanna. At least it's in Ultraubers tier, so that's something.
