Favorite of Ash's birds?

which was your favorite of ashs bird pokemon in each generation?

pigeot
noctowl
swellow
staraptor

I find it hard to choose between swellow and staraptor. But i also found it sad the episode ash FINALY got his pigeotto to evolve just so he could part with it =/

cant figure out how to make this a poll, still kinda new ya see. either way discuss.

noctowl, of course. its shiny, and the episode it appeared in was epic.

i cant remember the episode noctowl was found but i did find noctowl to be usefull for them against ghosts with its forsight.

Pidgeot definitely. Dude he was a beast. Shame he left though. Stupid weak pidgies >_>

I would have to say Staraptor.
I don't know why.

staraptor is the best sweeper of the 4 of them =P

max its attack and speed.

give it moves:

brave bird (granted =P )
close combat (for rock and ice weakness)
giga impact (what electric types have high def? lol)
u-turn (for urgent switch outs while still dealing damage =P)

staraptor is a pidgeot wannabe. I bet if I was battling someone with a pidgeot i could beat their staraptor. Pidgeot ftw

starraptor is beastly. for its wide moveset posibility.

swellow doesnt have as many moves but i love it because it was in with my very first 6 pokemon.

Definitely Pidgeot just because it is awesome. Swellow is pretty sweet just because it can take some significant damage and still fight. Noctowl is underrated and still great, but Ash just never used it in battle that much. Staraptor is alright, his Brave Bird is cool but I think it is too overpowered in some cases.

Looking at this thread reminds me of how it's hard for me to dislike any Bird Type Pokemon.

I like almost all Bird Type Pokemon, and I like all of those Ash has.
But Pidgeot has a special place in my mind, and is personally my favourite for what it was and is.
It may not be good competitively in these gens, but my loyalty doesn't let go of things this way.
Even in terms of looks it's beautiful, but so are the others great at both battle and looks.

I have to say Ash's Pidgeot is my most favourite among his bird type Pokemon, but I like the others almost as much.

Noctowl pwns all.

Live with it.

Nuff said !!!

If Ash kept his Pidgeot and trained it, it would have definitely been the most beast of all his pokemon. Too bad he lost his Pidgeot because it was seriously BEAST-TASTIC

I'd say Staraptor... It's ability to use other moves than Normal&Flying is a Definite advantage but in the episode Pidgeotto evolved didn't ash say he was going to come back for pidgeot Maybe Isshu?

Falkner's Pidgeot just showed everyone how beastly this pokemon can be... That is why it is my favorite

swellow, the episode where he taught it aerial ace swung it for me

arial ace is a good standard move for most birds for trainers who cant decide between high power but bad acc/recoil and people who perfer lower power but better accuracy.

i puts double teamers to shame =P
