>>29056662Yeah, I can see where you are coming from, anon.
But, Gamefreak designed the Rowlet line with Robin Hood in mind.
In folklore, Robin Hood was a nobleman of high class before becoming a vigilante, helping the poor and such.
When you look at Rowlet and Dartrix, they kinda look like high class birds, with their bowties. Heck, Dartrix proves this even more with it's hair, body posture and personality.
I think the entire Rowlet line is brilliant and I can look past the downgrade you've stated.
