When it comes to nostalgic purpsoses, Pidgeot would win hands down. It was the original Bird-type Pokemon. However, it's not what one would use in competitive battling. If only its base attack and speed stats were higher...

Noctowl isn't good either, and I hate how all of its good moves can't be learned early in the game. Staraptor is way too overrated, and it's like a bird on steriods. I still use it, however, because it's a bird on steroids. Who wouldn't use it?

My favorite Bird-type Pokemon must go to Swellow. Not only do I love its movepool, but also its shiny form. Green looks so good on Swellow! It can also learn Aerial Ace, which means that I don't have to waste the T.M. A Swellow also evolves early and learn some good moves early. What I don't like about Swellow is that its base attack and HP stats are way too low. Increase it just a little bit more and it can even par with Staraptor.

I actually take quite a fancy to flying type pokemon; more specifically bird pokemon.
But nothing beats Emonga. :3

I have a Pigeot in my current Heart Gold Team and it - to be honest - lacks some of the moves I'd like it to learn. It's lacks terribly in defense and it's sorta getting cheesy as time goes on.

However, as soon as I saw Staraptor I knew it was strong. It has fantastic defense and I love some of the moves it can learn. But I was dissapointed when I found out it couldn't learn Mirror Move; but is replaced by Close Combat which is quite handy escpecially with rock and ground type pokemon getting in the way.

Because of the amount of positives that Staraaptor has, they dominate over Pigeot therefore, my vote has to go to:

Spoiler:

STARAPTOR.
Hehe~ I just love adding that extra drama to my decisions. :3

I actually like them all except for Starly, but I guess if I had to choose Pidgey would win. I ALWAYS played R/B/Y with a Pidgeot in my party. <3

Staraptor, closely followed by Pidgeot. I'll always remember how impressed I was with the Staraptor I used when I played Pearl. I barely knew any of the Pokemon in the region yet, so I felt a special attatchment to the ones I randomly decided would be good to have on my team. And Pidgeot gets a close second for a similar reason on Silver version, but...I like Staraptor's move pool better. It's pretty wicked, comparatively speaking.

I think Starly is my favorite. I mean Pidgey looks kinda cool, Hoot-Hoot looks creepy, and Tailow looks cocky. Starly though, Starly looks all cute and stuff. Then it involves and looks kinda tough, then it involves again and looks amazing. I'm sure for sure, but I think its the biggest out of the "starting" birds. I like how its cry sounds too. Not to mention its also strong. I'm not sure on its actual stats compared to others but my Starly and its evolutions were great.

Kinda hard decision for me to make.

But, if I had to choose, I'd pick the Taillow-Swellow line. Simply because the Hoenn generation was my favorite.

Wouldn't you like to see a Ruby/Sapphire remake?
