So this is technically the first Pokemon of Generation VI that we've seen that is an evolved form of a previously revealed Pokemon, and not only is it the main bird of the region, but it's not normal typing :0 This Pokemon is already pretty unique, and I can already see it pulling a Swellow and not really needing a third evolution, though I really would love to see one~

 

[Magpie]

I don't care that it has a crappy name. It's beautiful and I adore it already and it's perfect :') It's the bird of prey Pokemon I've been waiting for, and it's fast which I love and it's Fire/Flying! That might give it a few nasty weaknesses to common types/moves but I shall be having one anyway. Insta-fave

I'm one of very few people who actually like its name! It really is a very nice bird though and I'm quite happy that they made it flying/fire, because if Fletchling is the bird we catch early on in the games then that means I could choose Chespin as my starter and still have an awesome fire type..hmm.

It's a really nice design too, and I can easily see me falling in love with it. ♥

 

[Linkachu]

I gotta agree with others on the name thing: the Japanese name would've been perfect as this birdie's English name too. But a name's a name and doesn't detract from how frelling awesome Talonflame looks - and it can learn Brave Bird to boot! I love it and will happily grab a Fletchling on my first playthrough now that I know it evolves into this.

This Pokemon is already pretty unique, and I can already see it pulling a Swellow and not really needing a third evolution, though I really would love to see one~

Unless they end up shoving a mid-stager in, I'm thinking the same. It looks too big and mighty to not be the final evolutionary stage.

 

[ChaosTechno]

This pokemons name..meh. Looks like they didn't even try on this name.

Hmm, I do like its design however. I absolutely love the flames on its back, it really caught my eye. I like how his hair/feathers spike up at his head, and the color scheme for this pokemon is awesome.

This should be enough for a 3rd evolution, but if we do get another evolution for this guy I can imagine how cool it would look.

 

[technoid27]

Imagine the terror the little bugs and plantimal Pokemon must feel when this guy comes along into the forest, burnin' everything to ash and cinder.

 

[MaxineZoruaLuna]

So AWESOME!!!!!!

 

[Azco]

i dunno bout this one, i'm planning on fennekin, so i hope their is another early flying type, but just not like zubat and woobat though ( they where terrible )

 

[Flygonn]

Whoa...
It looks awesome...

 

[ExoFlashFire]

The name..how uncreative. Still has a ring to it. But that design; It looks like a real bird of prey, unlike Pidgeot. And this thing having a fire/flying combo? I can picture KFC creating a forest fire. Its like a small yveta- //slapped.

 

[AZ3L09H]

Talon and Flame, So creative. . . I'm disappointed.
Just like with Team Flare, they had a chance to come up with an epic evil team name, but didn't.

 

[pokefan1001]

Makes me wonder why fletchling was not a 4th starter like eevee.

 

[IsaiahJN]

Another good bird pokemon along with my favorite Staraptor.

 

[SKMMinecraftian]

I think the name is standard, practical, and perfectly good, but apparently not everyone agrees.

 

[Draco Gengar]

i loved dis pokemon every since i laid my eyes on it. it is definitely going on my champion team

 

[Drastna]

The name is not so bad

 

[OnePiecefan11]

I'm surprised how many don't like the name. I think it sounds really cool. This was one of the first Pokemon I used in Gen 6 and it's pretty good.

 

[Ariados twice]

Moltres just got served. Now this is a butt kicking Pokémon that I'd want. Finally they come up with a bird Fire and Flying type that's not legendary (Talonflame and Fletchinder).
