>ding dong bannu'd from RU >not even worthwhile in

It did and you know it.
This finally insures that it will never ever be good.

>Gen 6
DELET BRAVE BIRD REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>Gen 7
He didn't deserve this

>Gamefreak deliberately and consciously murders Talonflame the exact moment they introduce a flying weak glass cannon that can only be reliably killed by priority moves
What did they mean by this?

Fuck Gamefreak.

>>32202571
>reliably killed by priority moves
you know how Gale Wings used to work right?
how it gave him priority?

>>32202571
>>32202595
oh, you meant Kartana.
i dont like that Talonflame was mandatory, but yeah. fuck Kartana.

Pidgey clones aren't supposed to be ultra-competitive

>>32202602
no pokemon is
pokemon in general isn't
just like Smash bros

>>32202601

He meant Pheromosa you tart.

>>32202533
>A pokemon singlehandedly removing almost all Grass, Bug, and Fighting types from viability
>Not deserving being dumpstered

Why is Talonflame's neutering so bad? It still has base 126 speed

>>32202706
Those 3 just happen to be my favourite types but even with cancer wings gone, grass and bug are still grass and bug at the end if the day and fairy has seemed to only really deminish fighting types since there are still plently of dragons and dark types

>>32202736
Talonflame is forced to dump EVs in Speed now. That's bad and should never have become mandatory.

Talonflame is basically UU's version of Staraptor now

>>32202753
It's not like its bulk was ever anything to ride home about and even with out EVs in speed, it can out speed most non scarfed mons. Also now that Lele is the tapu Landris T, losing it's priority is a blessing in disguise

>>32202807
>tfw Talonflame went from being better to being worse
What a cruel and unfair world.

>>32202821
Welcome to Swellow's world. Gen 4 minmaxmons will not be outdone.

>>32202833
Swellow's good again though in UU.

>>32202533
Fuck off, it did. Staraptor was always bravest bird. It had more going for it than a broken ability. Smogon birds current status proves people weren't using it, but rather gale wings.

This time last year everyone was screaming for Talonflame to be circumcised beyond recognition

>>32202533
Quit whining scrub

>>32203252
The only scrubs here are those who wanted Talonflame nerfed and those at GF who nerfed Talonflame.

Fuck Talonflame. There will never be a go regional bird again, GF are afraid of making one in case they make it over powered like Talonflame

>>32203313
Why is GF even afraid in the first case?

If anything, they should be proud and consider Talonflame their ultimate Magnum Opus as the premier competitive Pokemon.

Fellow BL(+2) bravest birds

>>32202571
I hate people who say this, specially since in the other threads they complain about Tapu Lele being everywhere. You want her to be even more centralizing?

>But Bruxish and DomLilligant!
Yeah sure

>>32202533
Gen 6: Due to the low amount of Pokémon, Game Freak made the first route Normal-type and the regional bird having a new typing to have an excuse to use it over the others first route Normal-type and the others regional bird. They successed and they are the best of each group (until Talonflame's nerf)

Gen 7: They returned to the boring pure Normal-type and Normal/Flying-type but with that terrible bulk AND speed they ensured that they were considered tge worst of their group.

>>32203262

Stay buttblasted.

>>32203313
>Talonflame is the Garchomp of regional birds
Really makes you think.

OP regional rodent when?

>>32202833

Swellow got buffed at least.

>>32203493
Diggersby will be the closest we'll ever get. No more interesting bird/rodents
At least Vikiavolt was the first interest bug since Gen V
