>>20573580Nothing in particular went wrong with the typing, bad stats and often ineffective movepool where holding them back. Staraptor was probably the first "starter bird" that actually started out strong enough to be worth keeping an eye on in all the generations so far. X/Y buffed others a bit to make up for it but movepool is/was still limited along with ineffective abilities.
Speaking of starter bird tho what are the odds the Hoenn bird gets (another) small buff in ORAS? Easily my favorite starter bird among all the gens even if not the best.
