Zapdos Cartoon-Like

Just ask Niantic.

Zapdos is the coolest looking bird IMO. Moltres was basically a goofy looking rubber chicken set on fire.

They ran out of money

at least it's unique. articuno looks like it used the pidgeot mesh and moltress used fearow.

Better than Feraligatr, which looks like it is out of the 8 bit NES.

But it looks exactly the same as that in the animation.

Niantic have used the models from the 6th gen main series games, so take it up with the Pokémon company ;)

Zapdos is actually my favourite out of the 3 legendary birds from first gen.

Based on his actual design...i dont really think they could have done anything more with his ingame model.

I mean..it looks how Zapdos looks, so what do you want them to do? Give it a 2nd head? XD

Its not the most extreme pokemon, but i would prob say it's the coolest out of the 3 birds, has a menacing look to it when compared to Articuno for example
