I hate regional birds.
They're all useless, boring lumps of shit. The worst part is that they're more or less mandatory because the game is unplayable without fly and especially in the later games the regional bird is the only thing you'll ever catch pre-E4 that can learn it.
The only exception is Pidgey. There's just something about Pidgey's design specifically that I kind of like. Fuck the rest of the Pidgey line though.
Talonflame was at least a step in the right direction, since it's actually useful and isn't copy paste stats, typing and movepool like every other regional bird.
