I think Fearow (and Spearow) is/are neat
Yes.>one scene in the anime>now gamefreak completely ignores it
>>58638365A flock of Spearow almost killed Ash Ketchum, good enough.
>Is a better Pidgeot you can get at level 20>Gamefreak has to give Pidgeot a stat boost AND a MegaFearow gets drill peck and that's good enough for me, baby
Fearow has been way too ignored ever since Gen 1.
>>58639686Despite KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOO privilege, Pidgeot cannibalizes much of the shilling that could have gone to Fearow.
>>58639689They only wheel out spearow to be the dedicated "evil bird thats bad" pokemon so fearow gets even less focus. It's lucky to sometimes be included in that, but that's it.
Real motherfuckers knew to get a Spearow and a Nidoran ASAP
I think Spearow (and Fearow) is/are Kenyan
>>58638353I always felt like the gen 1 normal birds were supposed to be tied to the legendary birdsFearow-> moltresPidgeot-> articunoDodrio -> zapdosI know the last one is a little far'fetched (heh) but i saw the connection as a kid
>>58640607So would Farfetch'd, as the final normal bird, be tied to Mewtwo?
>>58638353the superior gen 1 bird
>>58640786The iconic rivals...
>>58639686STOP IGNORING FEAROW GF
They are so misunderstood. Always shown to be angry and violent, basically portrayed as the "bad guys" that need to be beaten, electrocuted, and so on, but they have a peaceful and loving side, too.
>Anime Spearow/FearowViciousAttack in swarmsSmell fear>Game Spearow/FearowSpearow is a bit reckless and territorialFarmers love them because they eat so many bugsFearow has pretty wings and flies good
>>58638353I'm gonna be so mad if they dont give it Hyper Drill in a future game
>>58644295>>58644162It's like the complete opposite of shit like Gengar. Fearow is villainized, Gengar is beloved. But all of Fearow's dex entries are just 'It has really big wings and a cool beak' and Gengar's are 'It eats children'.
>>58644314If it gets Hyper Drill it should evolve with it like Dunsparce does. I'm all for it.
>>58644348>Doduo/Dodrio get a new evo if they learn Twin Beam/Fickle Beam>Fearow get an evo if it learn Hyper DrillWould be based
My first shiny, found it in the resort area in Diamond. Have had a soft spot for this guy ever since, even if it's pretty ugly.
>>58639689I'm guessing because of the anime? Even though it didn't fully evolve until the episode it stayed behind to protect the other Pidgey and Pidgeotto.
>>58638368Almost is not enough.
>>58645786>>58638368He's right there! Finish the job! Back of the head, real quick!
>>58644607Spicy mustard bird
>>58640799This. Pidgeot is just a spoiled, fat jobber
I feel like out of all gen 1 pokemon, fearow is consistently the least loved by both gamefreak and the fanbase in general.Its probably in the top 3 if not the number 1 most forgettable gen 1 pokemon>zero notable trainers use it>outclassed by dodrio as a drill pecker in its own gen of origin>from gen 1 to present, the only unique thing its gotten is access to drill run>almost exclusively filler roles in the anime/manga>has now been unobtainable in the last 2 mainline gamesThe only thing fearow has going for it is that is transitioned well into 3D unlike some flying pokemon.
