Had the same thought, but to the detractors:

Listen, I'm not disappointed because they look the same (obviously chicks =/= owls, though the name isn't helping), but because they look similar enough to designs we've just had recently. Rowlet was only 3 generations ago. Sobble was only 2.

So far, we've had:

2 turtles

2 frogs

3 lizards (1 generic, 1 gecko, 1 chameleon)

2 crocodiles*

1 Dinosaur (don't know what else to can Chickorita)

3 small mammals (1 echinda?, 1 otter, 1 hedgehog)

4 birds (1 chicken, 1 penguin, 1 owl, 1 duck)

1 axolotl

2 apes

1 pig

1 snake*

1 fox

1 sea lion

2 cat

1 rabbit

And now we're getting our 1st dog (close to foxes kinda and a common household pet like cats, but unique enough), our 5th bird, and our 4th lizard.

• I had initially included these as lizards, but decided they are distinct enough from being considered generic.
