I can't understand the bird hate. Like, when has a Normal/Flying first stage Pokemon NOT been incredibly basic? At least it isn't a rehash of some species we've already seen and could actually end up...

What? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Why is he taking it personally if he's only "leaking" what GF has done already?
