>>26746868I'm fine with the concept of local bird, bug and beast; they play an ingame role giving you weak Pokémon that you'll eventually replace.
However, it's GF. They'll use the very same tropes over and over again. I'll even predict stuff about the local bird, Pikipek:
You'll find it in the 2nd route at lvl 5 or so, as usual for the Normal/Flying local bird.
It'll evolve once at lvl 16-22, keep types unchanged, and it'll be 70cm large or so.
The 2nd evolution is at lvl 32-36; still Normal/Flying. It'll be somewhere like 130cm large.
Since the game is easy, you can use the last evolution up until E4; however, I'd guess it'll be of little value for competitive battling, and overshadowed by plenty other Flying types. Smogon's UU, maybe?
Also, Ash will catch one at one of the first episodes, but this is not GF's fault.
