The New Bird
.... Is there really not a thread about the bird?
Spoiler:
https://49.media.tumblr.com/24bf672b14b9f532e249c66b10c7ea8f/tumblr_o35ur7fyWH1tdtetdo4_540.gif initially we all thought it was Fletchling but on closer inspection that's 100% a new bird Pokemon. it has a large tuft on the back of its head that Fletchling lacks, and when the wireframe's model gets a texture applied to it, you can see it has zygodactyl feet-- which means two toes in the front and two toes in the back. Here's Fletchling for comparison: Spoiler:
considering this new bird has zygodactyl feet, its species can be narrowed down to only a few kinds. (most birds have three twos in the front, one in the back) a woodpecker, owl, cuckoo, or parrot all have the same type of feet. i'm thinking woodpecker, definitely. |
Why am I getting peacock vibes from this?
I REALLY WANT A PEACKOCK POKEMON |
I think that the bird is more of a woodpecker, I could tell by its head and, even more importantly, it's feet.
|
I think it looks like a hummingbird or a woodpecker, with a body shape inspired by Fletchling thrown in.
|
The plumage reminds me of Fletchling, which makes me think it'll be a fire-type of some sort, but...eh. It's difficult to tell with a crappy wire-frame model and a zoomed-in model. xD
|
To me it looks like a woodpecker instead of a hummingbird. Hummingbirds tend to have longer beaks.
|
Looks like some sort of Woodpecker or Cardinal which would be great since we haven't had any Pokemon based of either of these.
|
It's tough to say because we don't have any idea on what the scale is for the model--it could be a small bird, or it could be a bit larger. It reminds me of Fletchling so I keep assuming it'll be around the same size as Fletchling too :P But we can't be too sure on that. A woodpecker Pokémon would be pretty cool, but it could also be a hummingbird.
|
Can't help but be reminded of 'Woody's New Bird,' which rather concerned season tickets at Middlesbrough, albeit tangentially to the main query of whether birds result in the annulment of Jonathan Woodgate's marriages.
Looks a bit like Taillow. We'll have to see if it ends up in the same bracket of, 'We have no in-game Pidgey, panic.' |
I agree that it looks a lot like a woodpecker haha. Maybe it's potentially a Grass/Flying Pokemon, if so? Though the orange coloring makes me think not :( Super excited for it regardless!

this bird's feet are specifically for climbing vertical poles (trees), which is why it has an extra back toe. whereas hummingbirds only have the standard bird feet with one back toe. Spoiler:
now here's what a woodpecker's feet (and this bird's) look like: Spoiler:
|
I feel like it could be a woodpecker since it's beak gives of that sort of vibe.
That would make it a grass/flying in my mind, could see it as a counterpart to Talonflame. |
Woodpecker grass/flying would be really cool yeah! Gonna hope for that one. Give us an "early bird" that's actually interesting again (;
|
If the final evolution is as good as Pidgeot, I will have no issues what so ever.

A Woodpecker would be nice too! |
As much as I would love parrots, oh god please parrots
...Yeah, that's definitely more of a woodpecker vibe, there. No problems with something like that though, that would still be cool to have. |

Forgot to pattern the other wing. The ability would be gale wings but instead of giving flying type moves priority it would do it with grass type moves with woodhammer. As it evolves wood will grow on its head allowing it to use it as a hammer to headbutt with. |
Plz be an adorable hummingbird plz plz plz we really need one! But who knows it could be anything just cant wait to have that bird spam early in the game :3
|
I'd really love a hummingbird, and hopefully it'll have some cool evolutions, too! Great to see a little glimpse of what's to come, as small as this.
|
I think it'll be a woodpecker. Could be a fusion too of the two birds though.
|
Here is what I feel the line would look like if it is a woodpecker
Spoiler:
|
I didn't realize that it was not a Fletchling! Oh my god. A woodpecker Pokemon is something I would like to see. Do you think it is the regional bird? Or is it more of a starter? I'm getting a Grass-flying type from the concept.
