As the Pokemon strategy forum moderator, of course Taillow ^_^

Altaria's role is usually replacable by someone else. If it's one with dragon dance, Salamence can use the same moveset and do it a lot better. If it's a special sweeper, then quite sure that many other things in the world, or even Dragonite, can use the same moveset again and do a better job with it. Its stats are very rounded out, but in the world of RS where there's EV, it's not so great...

Swellow on the other hand, is irreplacable. No one else can use the exact same moveset of Swellow better than Swellow itself.

Wha...? Swablu is just a flying blue cotton candy-like creature though... Swellow > Altaria/Swablu in coolness AND cuteness! The game-sprite does make Swellow kinda ugly, but the episode picture! O.o;

I normally dislike Pokemon with little beady eyes and simplified looks. But I like those dex entries of Swablu. I mean... imagine you were sitting in the park and reading book, and suddenly this little bird casually perches on your head and looks over what you're reading. THAT'S SO CUTE! Taillow is strong and nice and feral looking at all, but it's just another common bird. Swablu is interesting by being a cloud avian.

Right... and Swallows are common birds in comparison to flying buffballs (who look like cotton candy) that land on top of your head in a park... o.o; Though I do remember something about Swablu cleaning everything up (which, is a nice characteristic to have).

I have never caught a Swablu or a Taillow, and have no idea what the dex says about them though... and being a weird person that I am, I'll be mega annoyed at something looking over my shoulder to see what I'm doing/reading. >_>;

Yes, I also hate having someone look over my shoulder, but when it's a little bird, I can let that slip by ^_^. All I remember of one of Taillow's dexes is that it eats Wurmple and cries when it falls out of the nest. Or something like that. Swellow is SO cool looking in the anime.

Swellow is indeed a LOT better looking than the terrible game sprite... that anime picture on serebii.net wins my vote in a contest of Altaria vs Swellow (including its preevolution too).

Hmm... Taillow's dex says taht it eats Wurmple? Ok that's it Taillow's sp.atk needs to be something in 70, or higher than Pidgeot's... Pidgeot sounds so stupid to skim through the surface of the water to eat Magikarp, a Pokemon that's just scales and bones XD *loses even more respect for the overrated Pidgeot*

Awww... poor Taillow! He's losing ;_; You mean people! ;)

I'd have to go for Taillow, he rocks ^////^ *Huggles my Taillow Tatti*
I've always liked him more than Swablu, i dunno he's just more original and kawaii IMO. I suppose its also because Taillow is based on a 'Swallow' and i love those birds, they are really graceful.

My Swellow won the Pokemon Leauge for me on Ruby, she was real strong. Taillows a cheeky lil' bird =D Love him to bits. *Points to favourite Pokemon list*

--- Why i left PC ---

<< left PC and PROUD OF IT >>

I've come to my senses--PC makes me absolutely sick, I hate it. No, this isn't an attention-grab like some morons say it is, it's my stand against the degredation of this once-great place. It's clear to me that PC has been absolutely ruined, and I'll never be back. I'd like to thank the few of you who stand with me, especially people like Silent Tattsu and Frostweaver, as they have given me the strength to rise above this place. I need to get on with my life, especially after some of you have perverted and absolutely obliterated the old PC spirit. I'm not welcome here, and if I may say so, I don't care to be here. Just you wait, and PC will be dead. Not the forums themselves, as, at length, was stated in another topic, but the spirit of PC, more important than any individual member or group of members. It's fading fast, and I won't be around when it disappears, leaving an empty shell of a forum filled with members who delight in this new, ruinous order. So I have chosen to be brave and leave, even if it is unpopular or considered un-PC-ish. Well, as far as I'm concerned, I'm about as anti-PC as anyone can get right about now.
Nuff said. I don't need to explain, Kaga says it all. Please don't PM me, since i won't be here to check them. And while your at it stop giving Kaga bad rep points for his sig. One word i-m-m-a-t-u-r-e.

I can't pick. I like the fact that Taillow is really tough, and has great attack power. I like Swablu, since it's fluffy and cute. It looks different than most birds. I don't really like the second stages though. I like Altaria (only if it was on my team, I hate it when I'm fighting one!), but only a bit. I don 't really like Swellow. Whatever happened to the birds with 3 stages of evolution?
