[46 / 8 / ?]
So many people have a problem with Toucannon, I do, I like it's design but it should've been it's own Pokemon or evolution line and Pikipek should've kept with the woodpecker theme. Yes, we get it, Woodpeckers and Toucans are both Piciformes, but kids aren't zoologists, they're not going to understand that, they're just going to see a Woodpecker turning into a Toucan and not get it. I edited Toucannon's dex model to keep some of Pikipeks features and colors, just so it looks more like an evolution of it, Gamefreak should've kept with the details and extended on them, I kept a hair quiff on it, changed it's blue feet back to Pikipeks grey and made it's beak the opposite of what a Toucan's is, from fragile to hard as Steel. I think more people would be more accepting of it if they actually made it look more like an evolution. I know I'm gonna get 'fag', 'kys' and a bunch of shitposting from the depressed 12 year olds on here, but I don't care, there are some people on this board who are capable of proper discussion.

>>29920945 And there goes the immature cunt.
Remoraid and Octillery were stupid too but they're both clearly based on a gun and a cannon, things which kids can recognize, they don't know what fucking piciforms are.

I would like it more if it was the farfetch'd of the gen. but is disappointing as an evoluiton

>>29920933 Why should it matter that kids "understand" what Pokémon evolve from and into? It makes no difference.
Not to mention most Pokémon birds evolve into different kinds of birds anyway. It would be weirder if Toucannon stayed a woodpecker judging by previous Pokémon.

Pikipek looks nothing like Toucannon, while the other regional birds do look like a evolution line.

>>29921092 They're not the main regional birds.
Pidgey - Pidgeotto - Pidgeot are.
>>29921059 Well fucking duh!, but they don't know that a Woodpecker and a Toucan are piciforms and that's what connects them.

If Pikipek evolved into another woodpecker, it would break the pattern of every regional bird changing into a different type of bird when it evolves. It was 90% bound to happen that the woodpecker would not stay. I also blame Trumbeak for not connecting Pikipek and Toucannon enough. People seem to forget the middle evo is what ties a three evo line together...

I mean sure, the resemblance is there, but with a source to verify, seems pretty dumb to me.

>>29921395 Sry, it's a little hard to explain. Just think of it like this
A dove (pidove) ends up turning into a feazant (unfeazant) to completely different birds. This happens every single generation. A certain type of bird, turns into a different certain type of bird.

>Pidove line goes from a dove to a pheasant >Pidgey line goes from a pidgeon to a bird of prey >Spearow line goes from sparrow to vulture or heron >Wingul line goes from a seagull to a pelican >Starly line goes from a starling to a harpy >Fletching goes from robin to a falcon You are now aware that Swellow and Noctowl are the only starting birds that don't change species upon evolution.

Quoted By:
>>29920945 The problem with that is that we have loads of fish pokemon so losing one doesn't matter. It's not the absurdity of the evolution, it's that people wanted a fully evolved woodpecker and they got something else. Now it'd be surprising to ever see a woodpecker again.

>>29921562 yes but they still keep traits from their prior evolutions and you can easily tell theyre part of the same line.
