Rodents and Birds

[espeon_155]

Have any of you noticed that in all generations of pokemon there is a new bird and some sort of rodent at the start?
Example:
1st- Pidgy and Rattata
2nd- Hoothoot and Sentret
3rd- Tailow and Zigzagoon
4th- Starly and Bidoof

I wounder if they will keep this up? It's just weird who they always add these kinds of pokemon...?

 

[LonesomeDiamond]

They are there to provide easy HM slaves, and rarely, a good pkmn(staraptor says hi). I'm sure it will continue, I dont mind it.

Off topic: nice user title: Trigonometric ratios?
Sine-opposite/Hypotenuse
Cosine-Adjacent/Hypotenuse
Tangent-Opposite/Adjacent
I hated that crap.

There's also always a common bug type of some sort in the beginning.

 

[espeon_155]

Yeah, but the Birds and Rodents are Ultra commen...everywhere!!

Also their evos.
Later Raticates, Bibarels, Furrets, and Linoones are everywhere. x_x

 

[Conquistador]

No, I hadn't noticed this, I've been living under a rock for the passed 4 generations. -_-

 

[Drake Pokétrainer]

I only noticed the birds but you're right.

Its a tradition, same happens with most Pokemon.
Usually some Legendary trio
Then there Pokemon like: Dratini-Laritivar-Beldum-Gibi

And so on,

Then there is some type of Pokemon associated with 3- 3 Legenday birds, dogs, regies, and the Srpites(Me Sprite, Uxi, and Azulif)

I have noticed. As a have a lot of other people. I don't think it's ever going to change.

 

[Arbok]

Also their evos.

Sad but true. :/

Well, I liked Caterpie and Weedle, Spinarak and Ledyba where cool too, but Kricketot dissapointed me.

And Bagon? And Trapinch?

You serious? Did you notice that in every generation there are three tiny Pokémon you get from a dirty old man in the very beginning in order to complete your Pokémon Index?

And Bagon? And Trapinch?

Bagon yes, Trapinch no.

 

[KyonKyon]

There was always a dragon from each gen you know...?

Dragonite, Tyrannitar, Salamence and Garchomp?

But you should have pointed it out by now that each gen has the same templates

 

[Chimecho3000]

Tyranitar isn't a Dragon type. But they are all fully evolved 600 base stat Pokemon (plus Metagross).

 

[UberSorcerer]

Wow, I thought everyone caught the gist of this by now *shocked*

 

[CyndaquilRules]

Have you noticed Ash always get's the bird?--Except Hoothoot. HE jUst catches a shiny Noctowl..

Then Ash can pop TR's Balloon and when everyone gets lost he can send it out.

"----- go look for ------"

 

[pit-fall]

Theres usually a secondary bird, too. Like Spearow/Fearow, and Wingull/Peliper. It must be an every other gen thing.

 

[Wedrall]

Well, since rodents and birds, along with bugs, are the most common animals on earth, I guess having lots of rodent, avian, and insectoid Pokemon makes sense. Not to mention it would give the guys making Pokemon up a break from thinking too hard - "I don't know, what else could we make?'
"Hmmm. How 'bout some more rodents or birds?"
"Oh, duh. Should have thought of that myself."
