Toucannon is one of the best designed final stage of a regional bird we’ve had so far but I think people want an alternate evolution because of how random Toucannon seems to fit in its line. Nothing about its design makes you draw the connection to Pikipek and Trumbeak which are both woodpeckers. I know there are several Pokémon that change animal inspirations such as Magikarp and Gyrados but they tend to have a reason for the drastic change. Trumbeak into Toucannon makes no sense.
Agreed I love my Toucannon, but Toucans are actually Piciformes which is in the Picidae family (Woodpeckers). So there is actually more of a connection unlike say Remoraid and Octillery.
However thats not to say I wasn't excited for a cool more traditional woodpeck pokemon.
