I dunno, I just never really liked Staraptor much. @Arceus: I actually rather like a theory that I heard that they're setting up another trio, consisting of Arceus, Kyurem, & a pokemon in 6th gen. The connection? They are the only two pokemon so far to have a base stat total of 700 or more; additionally, the lower of the two, Kyurem, only has that privilege with either Zekrom or Reshiram absorbed, meaning that it could match Arceus's 720 when complete. Now, Arceus is obviously a creator deity; Kyurem, meanwhile, was in its complete state a sort of guardian, a preserver if you will, maintaining peace so that Unova could be formed. These coincide in order with the first two aspects of the Hindu concept of Trimurti, where the three primary cosmic functions are personified by a different god. Brahma is the creator; Vishnu, the preserver; all that remains is Shiva, as the destroyer. Unlikely, of course, but the mere idea pleases me. |

That is an interesting theory, one which I very much like, I must say. I always thought it was weird Kyurem-B/W had such a high BST. Now we just have to wait and see if there's a legendary for Shiva. |

Oh, also, Pidgeot is a Super Saiyan.![]() Your argument is invalid. (It's worth noting that while I like Pidgeot, I by far prefer Fearow, however I never think of it as an early-bird because there's been multiple early bugs a lot, & multiple early mammals a couple times, but never another example of multiple Flying/Normal early birds. I know, Gen 3, but I always find myself thinking either "Taillow was the only early bird, since Wingull is even over water & wasn't Normal" or "Wingull was the only early bird, because Taillow seemed way to rare") Don't worry, Jesus was a pretty cool guy, I doubt he would be offended by a humorous comparison. |

Yeah, Jesus always struck me as the kind of person that wouldn't bother about things like that. A very cool guy, overall. Even as somewhat of an agnostic, I'd would have been interested in knowing him... seems like he'd have been an epic dude. I never really consider Taillow or Wingull early birds, since both only evolve once, instead of twice like Pidgeot/Staraptor/Unfezant. I've just always considered them... separate, for some reason. IDK. Same with Fearow, for the same reason; it only evolves once. While Staraptor may not have Pidgeot's Dragon Ball Z hair, I've always just felt he looked... cooler. Not just his looks, but the poses he strikes; he is totally epic, and he knows it; ![]() Staraptor also completely outclasses Pidgeot, as far as competitive battling goes; after all Staraptor's in BL, while Pidgeot's in NU:

Hey, I'm completely 100% disbelieving in any sort of deity, but regardless of that, his idea of a miracle is turning water into wine & he had basically the best moral code ever. 10/10 would be bros with. Don't really like the mohawk thing, personally. True, Staraptor does vastly beat Pidgeot competitively, but that is not how I determine the quality of any pokemon (though I'll take some note of it when deciding move sets). I trained a Swoobat to level 100, remember, & I have a Ditto sitting around on my to-do list. A Ditto from 2 generations before it got its Hidden Ability. Plus I have Beedrill & (shiny) Raticate in the mid 80's, both on the same team. |

Yeah, I think Jesus definitely had the right thing going with the moral code. I just wish more fundamentalist Christians would follow those codes. XP I generally don't use competitiveness to much when rating a Pkmn, unless it's a... well, competitive team. However, when I'm just... playing the game, I pick Pkmn I like. Which is why I'm rooting for Staraptor. It just... looks more intimidating than Pidgeot, just... overall cooler. Not that I dislike Pidgeot (although I do think it's weird that it evolves from Pidgeotto, which looks cooler, IMO). I think this pic accurately describes the last two pages of this topic: ![]() |

If only. For me, a black 'hair' tuft covering one eye & having a red highlight just brings to mind emos, so I find it rather hard to think of it as ominous or intimidating. Pidgeot meanwhile doesn't screw around with that scary crap, it's just a giant regal bird. I disagree on Pidgeotto looking cooler, but even if it does, you have to admit that Pidgeot (aside from the name) looks like more than Pidgeotto. |

You at least have to admit that Staraptor has a better cry than Pidgeot. Anyway, I suppose you could see it as kind of emo... but I've never got that impression. I always just saw it as having a tuft of feathers drooping over his eye, adding an air of epicness and mystery. Never got the impression of it being emo. I just think Pidgeot looks kinda... boring. It's cool, but not really... that cool, compared to the other birds out there. It doesn't look as epic as Swellow or Staraptor, or look as unique as Dodrio or Braviary. |

That's because Staraptor is fourth gen, while first gen Pidgeot was stuck with Dubstep Jr. for its cry. See, for me 'emo' & 'X drooping over its eye, adding an air of epicness and mystery' tend to go hand in hand. There are times that this works, like Vincent from FF7 who is emo while managing to be a pretty badarse character, but on a bird it really doesn't. Ok if we're including Dodrio in this then there's really no contest. |

The only good thing about Staraptor is the hidden Red Dwarf reference. It's an emohawk. I replaced mine with Drifblim, because it's a blimp, and blimps are pretty pimp. Braviary is Sam the Eagle as a pokemon, and makes me want to start a muppet pokemon team. Best bird is still Noctowl. |
