Greninja looks badass, I think I found my starter when the games drop.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Someone just send me the picture. I thought it was very good design, so it's way better than first picture that we saw.

 

[DaBoss]

Still nope. It has a nice face I guess, better than Quilladin lol.

What's wrong with the design?

 

[zroid]

starting to like it more

still, its typing means no dice for me, as much as I like Chespin. x/Fighting = do not want

 

[Neiteio]

This is cute, but I won't post the rest due to the copious amounts of genetic material sprayed everywhere:

 

[D-Pad]

I love them all! They're like classic RPG characters. You have the big goofy knight, the mage, and the theif.

v Like looking through Vaseline.

 

[Boss Doggie]

dawwww

 

[DaBoss]

What's wrong with the design?

Very inconsistent with Chespin and Quilladin. I think this is like Dewott to Samurott levels of inconsistent. The colors are also somewhat inconsistent. It would have been cool if they just made the shell white only and have the main body brown/green so it is like a chestnut. I don't like how long its arms are. Not saying Pokemon shouldn't have long arms or anything, but it doesn't seem good for Chesnaught.

But I agree, that is a more flattering shot of Chesnaught.

 

[Maedhros]

And I'll just laugh at you. Hahahahaha!

You can keep laughing till you die and my opinion wouldn't change. I don't care about the theme or any other "logical" reason you'll try to bring to this subjective point of view. It's a pokemon design, and I think it's ugly just because I think it is ugly.

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

Look like I'm going with Froakie all the starters have been lackluster this Gen in comparison to Black and White.

 

[Daingurse]

Delphox is acceptable, I always choose Fire Type for the first play-thru, tradition. Greninja wins though hands down, goddamn . . .

I never liked the Chespin line, and this will continue.

 

[Valkerionseven]

The legs and arms are the problem, they are just so... bland compared to the face and shell.

 

[subtleglitch]

I don't mind Chespin's final evo..it's grown on me. But my favourite is still Greninja, so I'm going team Froakie and Charmander

And I won't care, because hey, opinions can have opinions too!

Again, its body is not shown. It's wearing an armor.

 

[DaBoss]

Really? The white part (arms, torso, legs) seems like the body with green spiked braces.

 

[exfatal]

Was thrown off at first by chesnaught design but is grown me. Just wish it was grass dark

I know its scaled, but the way the top connects to the body piece reminds me of a full body chainmail.

You're right, it does look like chainmail. Isn't there chainmail that coves the nose too?

 

[Antiwhippy]

Medieval helmets usually have nose guards.

Honestly, the white part is probably part of the body, but I can pretty easily make out why he looks like what he does. Full body chainmail, and a sort of backplate/shield/cape which also helps brings the whole chestnut motif to the final stage, really ties the whole knight motif for me.

The arms are still weirdly elongated.

#teamChespin till the end

 

[roknin]

Dammit the more I see of Chessnaught the murkier my choice gets. Really growing on me. D:

 

[Boss Doggie]

I still stick to the idea that the "grey"/"beige" area is actually removable, and has a brown skin underneath. It's showing on its head after all.

 

[Hidden One]

Froakie won.
