: I agree. There is a very apparent similarity in physiology and behavior ( especially diving at opponents) to the {{wp|Peregrine Falcon}}. Also, I'm of the opinion that at least some of its inspiration comes from the mythical {{wp|Phoenix (mythology)|phoenix}}, because of the fact that it is a bird associated with fire. This would be similar to {{p|Moltres}}. I don't believe Talonflame's design is very heavily influenced by the phoenix, but I believe there is some connection.--[[User:Alex726|<font color="#7F7F7F">'''Alex'''</font><font color="#000000">'''726'''</font>]]<sub>[[User talk:Alex726|<font color="#007100">'''(T</font><font color="#DF0000">AL</font><font color="#0000A0">K)'''</font>]]</sub> 20:33, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

: I believe it's because of the peregrine falcon's speed that Talonflame is a fire type. In popular culture anything going very fast would leave a trail of flames behind, falling meteors or astroids are covered with fire, and a hot rod car would have flame paintings.--([[User:Robbie|Robbie]] ([[User talk:Robbie|talk]]) 19:10, 13 June 2013 (UTC))
