17 Pidgeotto
About the bead sprite:
2,511 Beads
A fairly large sprite, I chose this one because of it's pose. I had Pidgey just standing there so I thought an action pose would be a nice contrast. It's interesting to me that Pidgey doesn't have the red feathers at all, but Pidgeotto does, and Pidgeot has giant ones. Had I been more patient, I would have waited for the lightest brown to use for the belly color, but I think this turned out okay.
What my Fiancée calls this Pokemon:
She made an angry bird noise when I showed her this one...
Facts & Trivia:
Pidgeotto's design appears to be less of a pigeon and more of an osprey or other bird of prey. There are a couple in-game Pokedex entries that state Pidgeotto will peck it's prey, but Pidgeotto cannot learn Peck. Pidgeotto and its evolutionary line are the only Normal-type Pokémon to learn Twister by leveling up. They were the only ones to even be capable of knowing it before Platinum. In FireRed and LeafGreen, the player's rival has a Level 17 Pidgeotto when battled in Cerulean City, although Pidgey does not evolve until Level 18.
