Swellow is the regional bird.

>>25575492
Golbat of the sea.

What exactly makes Swellow the regional bird over Pelipper?
Is it because Swellow is Normal/Flying while Pelipper is Water/Flying? That wouldn't make sense! As Talonflame is Fire/Flying!
Also, Wingull is encountered much earlier in the game compared to Tailow in the original games and remakes.
Or are they both the regional bird Pokemon?

>>25575503
But what makes it not a regional bird? Can't there hypothetically be two in a region? Especially since we know they don't have to be normal/flying now because of talonflame. . .

>>25575553
Regional bird is typically found within the first few routes. Ash also always has one on his team.

>>25575553
>>25575559
Ash used it in his adventure in Hoenn? No? Then it's not a regional bird.

>>25575553
Swellow is found, much, much earlier.

>>25575559
>Can't there hypothetically be two in a region?
Sure, why not? The same region has 2 pseudos, and Unova lacked an early route Bug so it's not like there's a hard rule on these things.

>>25575592
You can find Wingull on route 103, which is accessible before route 102, where you find Taillow.

We're talking about the games here

>>25575598
This is the only correct answer

>>25575607
But you don't start with surf.

>>25575620
It can be found in the grass.

>Swellow BST: 430
>Pelipper BST: 430

Just like how Hoenn has two pseudo-legendaries, it has two regional birds.

>>25575646
Yeah beat me to it, I just found this out.

None of the other regional birds have the same bst. I don't think we can say for sure whether Pelipper is a regional bird or not, because there's no real criteria for it, but we CAN say it's probably supposed to be a counterpart to Swellow in a sense, which means GF might've intended it to be a regional bird.

>>25575646
And two pikaclones.

>>25575700
If I remember right, they don't just have the same bst but also the same stats just shuffled around.

>>25575717
Nuh-uh, just checked.

They don't appear to have abilities that are counterparts to eachother either, and they don't evolve at the same level. I can't find any other similarities.

It's possible they just kinda thew Pelipper in there with themselves even knowing if it was supposed to be a regional bird or not.

Tailow line is closer to the beginning of the dex, as most regional birds are.

>Pelipper and Swellow are both regional birds

I always assumed that in Gen 3 they decided to to 2, 2-stage regional birds instead of 1 3-stage regional bird.

>>25575774
And the Wingull line is immediately after it.

Taillow fits better because it starts Normal/Flying like all the others while Wingull doesn't.

>>25575838
since a majority assumes Hoothoot Johto's regional bir-um, owl to replace the regional birds temoorarily, maybe two stages were the new thing they dropped in Sinnoh

Then Ducklett is a regional bird as well.

>>25575492
It is available in Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova and Kalos.

>>25575872
>owl
>bird
what.

>>25575492
Hoenn has duos of regional animals because double battles were introduced in gen III

>>25575877
And Rufflet.

>>25575901
And Spearow.

>>25575492
It is a regional bird and a counterpart to Swellow based on stats and distribution. Retards will say otherwise.

>>25575763
In X and Y, Wingull and Taillow are found in hordes on the same routes.

>>25575877
Ducklett isn't encountered until after the fourth gym. There's no comparison.

>>25575945
prove it

>>25575908
Spearow is a regional bird, though. There's no reason to say Pidgey is one and Spearow isn't.

>>25575953
Just like other birds. See, it makes no sense.

There are two regional birds to every region...

just like there are always
two insects,
two mammals,
one bat,
three starters of the three same types,
two fossils,
legendary trio,
cute legendary,
edgy legendary,

All of this is true, except in Gen 2. Gen 2 only had Hoothoot as it's regional bird, and no edgy legendaries

>>25575885
I said it a temporary replacement to the bird theme

>>25575978
gen 2 had 5 edgy legendaries

>>25575970
Other birds aren't encountered before the first gym.

See, it makes sense.

>>25576007
They aren't in RSE either.

>>25575978
gen 1 had three fossils, gen 5 had gen 2 had Tyranotar as the edgy legendary

>>25575592
Have you even played Gen 3?

>>25575978
>>25576012
geb 3 hyas the gen 2 legendary fossil one bat cute mammal insect in gen 6

>>25576011
Exactly. Meaning Taillow and Wingull are regional birds, as well.

>>25575978
>two fossils
Aerodactyl says hi.
>always a dog
>always a cat
>always Pika clone.

>>25576025
Not Wingull.

>>25575908
I've always considered Spearow a regional bird alongside Pidgey.

>>25576022
I can't read this

>>25576029
Are you memeing? As has already been said in this thread, Wingull's available in the grass on the same route you fight May, ripe for the catching. You can also catch it on the route just north of Petalburg woods.

Reminder, these are the most recent Pokemon games to be released. Why are you autists on this board if you don't know basic shit.

>>25576066
>Wingull's available in the grass on the same route you fight May
postgame only

>>25575553
The tailow line can only be found in 2 regions post national dex, or 3 with the national dex.
Hoenn and Kalos. And Johto after you get the national dex. Swellow however can be found in all games after Gen 3.

The wingull line, however is native to Hoenn, Sinnoh, kanto, Unova and Kalos.

It makes sense to me that the Tailow line would be the regional bird because of this

>>25576083
So you are memeing. Well, ya did it champo. Nice memes ;PPp

>>25576105
>trolling about basics like birds
You need to be more subtle

>>25576105

>memeing

Back to Plebbit with you.
