>>17484831>The regional bird for Hoenn is Taillow.There is no "the" regional bird. There's no rule that there can only be one member of an archetype per generation, that's why I brought up the two pseudos.
>Regional bird is defined as the Normal/Flying type you encounter at the beginning of the game Defined by who, you? I don't recall Game Freak ever defining "regional bird". Also, you find Wingull two routes BEFORE Taillow.
>And that Metagross analogy doesn't work because Psuedo-legendary isn't defined by its weaknesses, but its BST. An archetype is defined by its common characteristics. The common characteristics of a pseudo-legendary are a three-stage evolutionary line, reaching level 100 at 1,250,000 Exp., and a BST of 600. Prior to gen 3, they also had a double weakness in common. Prior to gen 4, they all came at the end of the Pokédex, near the legendaries. Prior to gen 5, they all had Attack as their highest stat. Prior to gen 6, they all had a secondary type and a guaranteed type immunity.
So now I ask you: if none of those later changes were ever part of the definition of a pseudo-legendary, then why do you think being Normal-type is part of the definition of a regional bird? You've already wrongfully decided that something doesn't fit your precious pattern, despite no official source ever defining that pattern in the first place. It's completely arbitrary and makes no fucking sense.
