>>29264335Well, I couldn't say for sure the exact thought process that goes behind it, but I will say this...
I'm an artist by profession, and character design is part of that. Just based on my experience in that field, I'm drawing conclusions based on what I can see.
What I see is a line of pokemon who heavily emphasize their beak/bill power, and have a red/black/white color theme.
I'm not really super concerned with the fact that it evolves into a toucan, especially when you consider that Spearow is literally a ratty sparrow who evolves into a crane, and between the two, they have less in common than this line does, even by their color layout.
