Honestly, even though this isn't quite what I was hoping for, Chesnaught is still a vast improvement to Qulladin. I mean, I wish it had more green on it, and some type of sword and shield, but oh well. At least it salvaged the Chespin line for me, still picking it whenever I get Y Version.

 

[XxVanitasXx]

Well then, a grass/fighting type. Really have to say that I didn't expect this kind of dual type.

 

[Satoren]

Interestingly, Shiny Chesnaught has its previous form's color scheme, although the brown in its palette is slightly more reddish. It can also somehow morph its arms together into a giant buckler-like shield with spikes (it's meant to be its spiky shield move, but it also does this for most defensive attacks)

I was really surprised when I first saw this guy, but I also was very happy at how badass the silly-looking Quilladin became upon evolution. This guy is touuuggggghhhh, and his movepool emphasizes this. Type-wise however, it's pretty frail. If it was Grass/Steel however...well, I can dream anyway.

Overall, I'm so proud of how my little Chespin grew up into a big badass hero, and that I stuck with it in spite of everyone's doubts about Quilladin.

 

[XxVanitasXx]

I just now realized that these starters all are 4x weak against each other. Delphfox is Fire/Psychic who is weak against Greninja's Water/Dark. Chesnaught is weak against Delphfox due to being Grass/fighting and Greninja is weak against Chesnaught.

 

[Fumanshu]

There have been rumors about dark/fighting/psychic starters for a while now.
Those were extremely unlikely but now they kinda made it happen with the double triangle.

Also, he shares his palette with Breloom, another fighting/grass type.
Its fitting.
Sadly its shield ability wont come close to the likes of Aegislash, but its better than protect either way.

 

[Mr.Munchlax]

I'm still planning on having Chespin as my main starter for pokémon x, because it's still my favorite as far as the basic forms, but I think it'll take me a while to accept its new evolved form. I like it and all, it's just I was expecting something a little more epic and warrior-like

Now THIS is what I'm talking about!!! Chesnaught may not be the most popular choice compared to Delphox & Greninja, but he's just dripping with awesomeness for me. I now take back everything I said about Quilladin

 

[Ranger g3]

I wanted a Fenneken but as soon as I saw Braixen...........
Chespin All the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Aric]

not what i was expecting to come from a quilladin

 

[Jhan Garc]

Even more reason to pick Chespin when i get Pokemon Y

 

[TheChaoticNerd]

I am currently doing a chespin line solo run and he's over 9000!!!
he's so cute...

 

[EtherealHaze]

I was always going to pick Chespin (and I did, and I don't regret it), when I saw Quilladin I was like "meh…", but I still wanted to choose Chespin since it is adorable and I just new that it's final evo would be the best…… I was right. Chesnaught is amazing and would probably be my fourth favourite kalos Pokemon, and in my top 20 favorite Pokemon overall. Chesnaught's design is amazing and I don't mind at all that he looks a lot different from Chespin and Quilladin. It's a real shame that Chespin was still the least-popular starter, because Chesnaught is amazing.

Why?

 

[Pika7771]

Before I saw that Chespin and Froakie were gotta be different. I thought that Chespin would evolve into a Grass Dark and Froakie Water Fighting but I was wrong.

 

[Pika7771]

My Main Starter Types I chose for every Generation types would be Grass and Water. Gen 1 Blastoise, Gen 2 Feraligatr, Gen 3 Sceptile, Gen 4 Torterra (First Starter), Gen 5 Serperior, And Gen 6 Chesnaught. In BW 2 I chose Emboar.
