Pidgeot is pretty much a bird of prey with falcons and ospreys as roots in its design and Pidove a dove evolves into a pheasant and you mentioned Talonflame so that's that etc.
I wonder how GF can make Pikipek look complete as a 3 staged woodpecker, unless it actually evolves into a bird with toucan characteristics/design. I'm not shitting on the potential that Pikipek could probably end up as a pure woodpecker designed Pokemon, but lots of other early route bird Pokemon changes somewhat in their design origin in their last stage.
By all means the toucan shown on the shirt that the heroine wears in the trailer could be a new separate bird Pokemon.
