I love the concept of Chessnaught, but I feel the design and colors needed another pass, streamlining a pinch.
Pokemon X and Y Leaks, Releases Early

That looks great. Basically it's an armored knight -- the brown furry bits are traces of the hedgehog underneath, while all of the beige bits are what would be silver armor on a knight. His chestnut shell is perpendicular to his body so that if he lies belly-down it will snap over his body and protect him from attack.

This is why I thought the leak prior to yesterday seemed pretty legit, because of how realised the concept was, including having a frog's tongue doubling as a ninja scarf.
I'm really torn over who to choose. I'm one of about 4 people on here who seem to like them all. I'm pretty indifferent to all of them, but Chespin looks the most fun.

so mega charizard x nightmare ?
Few men are great enough to recognize Empleon's worth. He's awesome.

I'm really coming around on Chesnaught. As predicted, Chespin is the winning team.
But let's not let this thread devolve into starter rankings, guys.
Charizard used Derail!

Wait, hate for Chikorita exist? But she's so adorable. D: Why wouldn't hate her.
Because Meganium sucks stats wise, ended up boxing her for Scolipede.

Anyone who disses on Chesnaught are pretty much just looking at its face. Same with Delphox really. The odd angle makes their faces look weird.
How can people hate on Chesnaught? It looks the part, it does the part, and it pretty much continues the chestnut evolution! One of the best Grass evos so far.
Torterra > Chesnaught > Venusaur > Sceptile > Meganium > Serperior
Blaziken > Infernape > Typhlosion > Emboar > Delphox > Charizard
Feraligatr > Blastoise > Samurott > Greninja > Empoleon > Swampert
Not like it can change to begin with. You've already made up your mind.

He has a challenger in Pimprabbit, truss me. Arcanine's always been my bro for life, but I've fallen in love tonight with a bearded obnoxious bunny rabbit

Spiky Shield + this guy with Iron Barbs + Rocky Helmet = new metagame. Holy dear God almighty in heaven.
Empoleon is always my homedog in Sinnoh.(after Gallade). It's my 2nd favorite water starter now after Ninjy.

Not that Delphox is terrible exactly, it's just so boring looking in comparison to every other fire starter. Kind of a shame considering its cool typing. At least Chesnaught and Greninja are cool

As a Pokemon it isnt that good, And its design is derpy as hell.
Just started catching up with the news. Tbh, I find these evolutions just as disappointing with the Gen V starters but I'm sure they'll grow on me eventually. Currently debating whether to get Fennekin or Froakie. I want to see Delphox and Greninja in action first!
Now I know why I wasn't fond of the Gen II starters. They're not that bad, but I didn't think of them as great either. Putting aside Gen I, my favorite starters has to be Gen III and Gen IV.

One of the GOATs, and best Gen IV Pokemon. The only starter that makes my best of gen teams.
Spike Shield sounds like an awesome move, I hope it's one the previous evolutions can learn as well. Do we know if it reduces damage like Reflect, in addition to reflecting 1/2 damage?
Also, since Chesnaught is Grass/Fighting, it looks like the original Pokebeach rumors were wrong. What does that make Greninja now? Water/Dark?

Damn this new Pokemon Origin Anime is great. I wish this was how the series go from now on.
Guys... guys... what if Chesnaught gets Synthesis (or any other healing move)?
Agreed. Charmander's cries when he's getting eaten by Squirtle were pretty messed up though.

Spiky Shield sounds amazing, basically a straight upgrade over Protect. The potential is amazing.

Well GF wasn't the only one disappointed.
I am not a man, but yeah, Empoleon is awesome. Best water-type starter before Greninja appeared.
Nah. Looks puny because the armour's so oversized
I dig that Chestnaught is an unusual color scheme. I'm kind of tired of green, lime green, earth brown, etc, for Grass starters. This is a refreshing change of pace. Plus, the way he's hunkered over with his spacious shell-cape just screams, "Come at me, bro."
I'm really conflicted as to which starter evo I like best. I like unique characters. They're all unique here. I think I'm mostly torn between Delphox and Chestnaught. Each is so quirky, but in wildly different ways. Chestnaught is dense in detail and Delphox is streamlined and simple. One's a knight and the other's a wizard. Both are cool. Like trying to pick a starting class in a high fantasy RPG...

I used to think that Infernape was easily the one of the worst starters period until I saw him pretty much go super saiyan.

Pretty much all the starters this gen need a scene like this.

I could be wrong, but my understanding based on the description is it works like protect rather than reflect.
I never did trust Pokébeach rumours.
Its a grass type Pokémon, they always have access to healing moves.

FUCK YEAH BATTLE PROTECT! WE KNIGHT BUILD NOW!
And you say that that's a bad thing. That's the point. It's a heavy knight.
And you say that that's a bad thing. That's the point. It's a heavy knight.
This was maybe the best groups of starters (especially from a diversity standpoint) in their first forms. But honestly, Fennekin and Chespin's finals went in a direction that I think is either aesthetically boring or stupid. And I'm almost okay with Froakie until the tongue/scarf thing bothers me all over again.
You think you have me all figured out as some Gen 1/2 fanboy when I don't even like a good third of those final evolutions either. It's sort of obnoxious frankly. I'm sorry I don't share your apologism for everything Pokemon... I have my own tastes.

Oh! I love listing favorite starters!

Hmm... turns out I don't actually love listing favorite starters enough to go through the rest aside from my top 5... Ah well.

Yeah when I think of medieval knights I think of long armed flabby men with 2 foot long beards and a spiky turtle shell on their backs as they hunch over
No, they are holding their breath.

Hating how rushed the episodes are in Origin. I mean sure I played the game and can make out whats happening and what has happened during Reds quest but would love more insight on it.
NO
he is weak
when Diggersby uses his ears to force his way through his exposed shell and fist his asshole into the void you will regret the choices you made in life boss doggie
please understand that

Chesnaught is a mess because of the face and its limbs. Neat concept, terrible exeggution.

Seems so. So instead of a reverse triangle, we have two ways to pile on the pain to the starters weak to our choices. I'm still gonna fight my rival's Greninja with Delphox. And win.
