>>56562097it was too little too late. it's true, the normal/flying hangup was autistic and pointless, but after such a long string of them having a single isolated Pokemon break the trend stands out as even weirder. I think it would be less weird if Gamefreak had gone back and retconned several other birds into being pure flying, but they still haven't gotten over their autistic unwillingness to touch old Pokemon's stats and types.
