I'm disappointed that Noctowl dropped elements that made Hoothoot unique, such as its relation to time and its foot hopping/retracting. It also just became a worse physical attacker instead of standing out from the normal/flying crowd by going special. I know this was before the physical/special split and Noctowl got more special attack in Gen 7, but that didn't stop them from making stuff like physical water types like Feraligatr before the split.
I like it more than beta Noctowl, but I feel like some compromise between the two that built on the time elements of Hoothoot would have been ideal.
