Tank Dragon:
While it would have been cool (probably would be a non-Legendary Dragon/Steel-type) they probably changed it because it was decided to be Ghetsis's main Pokemon and so the made it Dragon/Dark with the design following. Otherwise I would think a pseudo Legendary for a region based on a US state that a military-like Pokemon would have fit perfectly fine. In addition considering how they incorporated New York being a melting pot so having Pokemon and location based on places all over the world it would have been nice to see some more American iconography with the Pokemon themselves. Also I'm sure they would have made the design work, I imagine it having maybe a similar appearance to Metagross so it all depends whether you think it works or not.
Undiscovered 3 Flawless IVs:
While it was an accident (though I ask how, did the person who decided that forget other Pokemon were in the Undiscovered Egg group? ) it did give a reason in-game to use a Baby Pokemon and wait it out with them. Sure you could catch a stronger basic stage Pokemon though their IVs may range from anywhere, OR you could stick it out with a wild Baby Pokemon who while weak right now has at least 3 good IVs somewhere. It's either a choice of immediate satisfaction or long term gain. Also it's useful for breeding and training which is what they have been trying to improve over the years. Finally if they need an in-game reason for it then are not future generation meant to be stronger than the previous generation (not to mention how many "failed" breeding Pokemon were released over the years probably would effect the Pokemon world's ecology somehow)?
And unlike the Baby Pokemon who can evolve the Unown have no way of Breeding so the needed the 3 good IVs a much as the Legendaries did. Yes, they'd still be pathetically weak but if they ever decide to do anything with them, say like a Mega Evolution, it might be a good idea to have someway to improve their IVs.
And finally the Nidorina and Nidoqueen thing can be solved by just moving them to the Monster and Field Egg Groups. By now they're either keeping it in the Undiscovered Group as a joke (which stopped being funny past Gen III) or GF forgot about it and when they look over Nidoqueen each gen they forget to fix it. There's no reason for them to remain in the Undiscovered Group, especially when Nidoran (female) can breed; and any reason you try applying to it can be countered with why doesn't that logic work with other Pokemon.
