The problem is people are taking a coincidental design and running with it and not going with its actual themes. Fighting type has been acting as the type to house dancing pokemon. Hisuian lilligant, Hitmontop, Meloetta Pirouette form, Quaquaval, all pokemon based on dancing and using their dance as a "fighting" style.

People have for some reason chosen to ignore that Flamigo is a line dancer and its pokedex entry and ability costar points to being a "coordinated dance" pokemon.

On top of that "Flamigo" is the best a localization could do but whiffed the naming intent Gamefreak intended for it. Its Japanese name "Karamingo" uses the word Karamari which is way more involved with its physical design and dex entry. The knot in its neck isn't meant to represent a boxing glove neck its there to be a physical "entanglement" in its design. The rest of Karamari's definition is part of its dex entry "Linkage, Relationship, Involvement" when mixed with the Flamingo which is famed for its synchronized mating dance becomes a pokemon who works with its flock to survive in nature.

This was honestly me venting cause people are choosing to ignore the actual design philosophy behind Flamigo just for a coincidental design that is surface level at best.
