First off, welcome to the site! :D

And I could definitely see some Aztec out of it. It sort of plays into the desert theme or maybe something more ancient. Both end up supporting Flying/Rock or Flying/Ground, which are also really cool typings.
Haha Thank you! I was thinking that if it was some legendar or pokemon based off that it would get some special typing to fit in with it like rock.
 
After reading these posts and deciding to join, I don't know why but this gave me the same feel as Ho-Oh, I just get a Mayan Aztec feel out of it..


Darn it man you just brought to my mind...this

...i personally think that the silhouette bird is either the final evo for mamepato or maybe a bird that doesn't have any pokemon related to it.

Also I kinda hope that its normal/flying, just so Gen V isn't really new because if too many things change, GF might lose some of its earlier fans.
 
The possibilities are very limited, it can be;
Mamepato's final evolution
An evolution to an existing pokemon (very unlikely) or
A stage 1 (basic stage for you TGC fans) pokemon. I wasn't here for D/P theorymon but i don't think that NFE or final evolution pokemon are shown before their prevolutions.
 
this has been mentioned before, but this Pokemon must be of some importance to get a silhouette all on it's own. that would make me think it's either legendary, pseudo-legendary, or just a normal Pokemon and Game Freak is running out of stuff they want to show us.

based on it's appearance from the silhouette, I don't think it's a legendary. it looks too small, and too plain... not legendary-y enough overall, if you ask me (not by todays standards, at least. this might change once we see it's art). I'm hoping it's the pseudo-legenday, because one that's not a reptile/dragon of some sort would be amazing (Metagross is the exception). I hope this is just the first stage of it's evolution, in that case, and that it's final form is based off a Roc.

if it's just a normal Pokemon, I'm thinking it's either the first stage and it will get one more evo, or it's a stand alone Pokemon. I doubt it's related to any other Pokemon... really, all I could link it too is Fearow, and honestly, it won't be related to Fearow...
 
Back from work, wtf at that bird thing!

I think it will be a legend like Heatran. Not really part of the land's lore, just on its own doing its own thing. It has to be important to be silhouetted imo.

Edit: ninja'd
 
I agree with the "plain" statement. I really think this will be Mamepato line final, mostly because the silhouette looks like a generic bird, no frills, extra limbs or other distinguishing features visible. I'm hoping GF don't put two plain old birds in one generation.

If the beak was longer I would be screaming Fearow evo, speaking of which why the hell doesn't it learn Brave Bird but pretty much every bird Pokemon except for Delibird I think is able to.

Anways, this thing is automatically awesome because its a giant eagle (or some other type of raptor). Hope it gets intimidate or some other useful ability that will help it sweep.

to be fair, it's legs are, you know, thick as hell. much thicker than almost every other Bird Pokemon we have. that's definitely something, and would imply that the bird it's based off of is quite powerful/large, or is wearing pants. considering Mamepato is a pigeon (which are not large/powerful), and that we've seen it's middle evolution already (or what is most likely it's evolution), I highly doubt this new Pokemon is related to it. I have no clue why they would dedicate a single silhouette to Mamepato's final evolution, especially when they haven't officially shown it's middle evolution yet. unless they simultaneously reveal a ton of other Pokemon (including it's middle evolution) as a surprise, I'm guessing it's more important/not related to Mamepato.
 
I liked what was going on here till you said 635, lol!

Fighting/Flying
100/135/85/70/85/125
Ability: Battle Cry (Intimidate that lowers DEF)

600 BST.

This is like an extremely better Staraptor, lol. With the Fighting-type, it loses it's SR weakness, AND it gets STAB on Close Combat (assuming it gets it).. and Battle Cry too? Damn, this thing would be a beast.

Hell yeah!!

Choice banded 135 BP STABBED CLOSE COMBAT/BRAVE BIRD WITH Battle Cry to ensure the OHKO!!

If opponent dares to switch out and Close Combat/Brave bird hits on switching in pokemon for neutral damage, then 2HKO@!@!!
 
I think it would be a little cool when a fighting/flying pokemon emerged, it had boxing gloves on its talons. Then it could be really weird and have the elemental punches and whatnot.
 
Welcome to Smogon!

Yeah, a Fighting/Flying would be great in the competitive metagame(assuming it has good sweeping stats, good STABs and that there isn't a sudden rush of electric/psychic/flying/etc types in the new gen)
