Today we will be looking at the first evolutionary line in the Kalos pokedex: Chespin Quilladin and Chesnaught.
Quite an interesting bunch. The first mammal grass starters we got. Chespin is very cute and the way it hardens its quills in battle or when scared is a very interesting idea. Quilladin is one weird middle evolution and hasn't really got anything going for it. Chesnaught on the other hand is quite the drastic change. Has an unique ability in bulletproof and quite a diversed move pool with excellent physical defense and attack, access to recovery and great stat boosting moves like swords dance and bulk up.(sadly it doesn't get stealth rocks)
In my opinion its a fantastic evolutionary line and my actual first pick since the beginning. Chespin is just adorable Quilladin is a bit disappointing for a middle stage but we've seen worse and Chesnaught is just plain awesome and one of my all time favourite bros. Not much else to say.
What are your thoughts?

Best Grass starter.
>>
Oh hey these threads are back.

Chespin is nice, Quilladin is just awful and Chestnaught looks pretty cool. Not my favorite and not even my pick for the game, but he is OK overall. Definetly a better signature move than Delphox or Greninja, that's for sure.
>>
>>26997513
It's shit. End of thread.

>>26997513
This could be really fun or really gay, but I'll bite.

I actually like Quilladin the best, yeah hes derp as fuck but he accurately bridges the gap between Chespin and Chesnaught.

>>26997513
Does anyone remember those "What do you think of this 5th Gen Pokemon" threads?

Chespin is a qt, love the design and concept.

Quilladin is a little worse, but it still carried the theme over from Chespin and still looks great.

Chesnaught is utter trash. The color scheme changes, it hardly looks like a knight, and it looks like a bear in a full body cast. Also, there are no head spikes, which its pre-evos had. The only Gen VI mon I dislike.
>>
I love Quilladin. I also love Chespin, but not as much as Quilladin. My favorite Pokemon is Jigglypuff, and I also am already a huge fan of Togedemaru, so clearly roundness and cuteness are huge selling points to me. Quilladin has both. I don't understand why people hate it so much.
>>
>>26997513
Interesting ability in Bulletproof, excellent Protect variation that deals damage in Spiky Shield, bad typing adding the unnecesary Fighting-type (it is based on a defensive knight why the Fighting-type and not the Steel-type?), good design in having a spiky cape, the Spiky Shield animation is its only good animation.

Not my favorite Grass-type, but it is currently the third as long as Green Arrow is confirmed fake (Treecko line is my favorite Grass-type)

My overall rating: 7.5/10
>>
>>26997513

Chespin a cute.
Quilladin a ugly.
Chesnaught a barafag.
>>
>>26997934
Yeah. Gen VI version will end sooner.
>>
>>26998053
Cool, because I'm the original OP of those threads.

But I'm fine with others taking over for the other Gens, so long as you go all the way.
>>
>>26998140
Op here. Thanks I'm definitely doing this all the way.
>>
>>26997513
Pretty much the worst starter line ever. Even the Chikorita line pales in comparison when it comes to being pure shit.
>>
>>26997513
Shiny Chesnaught should've been the regular coloration. That would've saved the line from being regarded as the worst starter ever.
>>
>>26997909
>>26998044
The middle stage is not supposed to be cool or cute. It's an awkward in between. Like Metapod or Shellgon.

>>26998396
I agree but it's definitely not the worst. His hands and arms look a bit wonky but otherwise it makes sense.

I don't get why some people have such a problem with his hunch. He's wearing a chestnut shell from Quilladin stage. He looks like a pointy, hulking, oaf Rodent thing with Chestnut armour.
I know some people were expecting the RPG theme to make him a noble and charismatic knight but fuck that, awkward punchy shield sounds like a far better RPG character than Mary Sue the Paladin.
>>
Favorite Gen 6 starter line too...
But it Chesnaught does look like a terriermon evo because of it's color.
>>
>>26997879
cool
>>
>>26997513
Trash, trash and pure trash.

Nothing much to say, except that they're trash and I question the sanity and intelligence of anyone that likes them even a tiny bit.
>>
Chespin is okay, but Quilladin and Chesnaught are easily the worst starter pokemon ever.
>>
>>26997513
Chespin's my favorite grass type
Not too big on Quilladin
Chesnaught's alright

>>
>>26998928
>I agree but it's definitely not the worst.
Oh dude it's definitely the worst. It was literally the lowest ranked final evo starter in the nip poll for the distribution. The line turned out to disappoint me a lot, since back in 2013 Chespin looked like a great starter, and it is still one of my favorite first stage designs. As soon as I saw Quilladin I kinda got my hopes down for the line, considering how Pignite turned out to be. I'm still befuddled by Chesnaught's departure from Chespin and Quilladin's design.

>when everyone bitches that Quilladin is "fat"

He's a chestnut, you turds. That's like complaining that Blastoise is fat.
>>
It, like many things Kalos, is ok. Not bad, not great, it's okay.

Didn't really get a feel for it during my play through but i got my chespin fully evolved. If not for its status as a starter it would be completely forgettable.
>>
>>27002175
When will people stop using the poll as if it somehow backed up their opinion?

It's just that, an opinion.

Let me remind you that:
>Japan does not speak for the rest of the world
>The poll promised an event pokemon, which made people vote for legendaries or overrated pokemon
>People there tend to like the overrated starters like Greninja and Charizard a lot more than the other ones
>They tried to make Magikarp and Magnemite 1st place as a joke
>Landorus ranked up pretty high, does that mean that it's a pokemon everyone loves more than Gengar or Blaziken? No.
>>
>>26997513
The bandwagonning hate on this thing is real.
>>
>>26997513
There's nothing wrong with Chespin and Chesnaught.
The only thing wrong is Quilladin, for the same reason Pignite was wrong.
>>
>>26997513
Copy pasting from an old Chesnaught hate thread.

The arms and legs proportions are fucked; arms should be shorter with the elbows more defined, and legs a bit longer. As it is now it looks retarded outside of fanart.
The color isn't that bad, I understand people like the shiny better, but it isn't that bad. The beige parts should be darker though.
Stat wise, it should have been a fast-tank (specially with that typing), since it makes more sense as the "armor-cape" looks light as fuck.
>>
Chespin was such an insane design, and I was looking forward to his final evo, but I was so disappointed. Chesnaught looks like complete garbage. Why is he so lanky? Why is his colour scheme different? It looks nothing like its former evolutions or any animal at all. It looks like a bearded hunchback human wearing a giant turtle shell he found on his back. Such a wasted opportunity,
>>
>>27002855
It still means that Shitnaught is the most hated starter yet, and that's what's important.

it seems like one person designed chespin and quilladin

then someone else that is also colorblind decided to make chesnaught, while not looking at the other two, but was being told verbally and vaguely what the other two pokemon looked like

This is easily the most disgusting sentence I've ever had the displeasure of reading on /vp/.

In other words, shit taste.

>>26997513
I love all three and learn to love Quilladin for some strange reasons. My fav 6G starter.
I was a froakiefag during first reveal but Greninja kinda killed it for me. It's not even the tongue, it's the color scheme and the Origami-like head.

Chespin and Quilladin are cute, the latter especially reminds me of pic related. Too bad Chesnaught shits all over that look with its lanky limbs. Would it have hurt to make it look a little bulkier and make its silhouette more like that of a chestnut (round)?

Chesnaught is a fucking amazing name tho
>>
>>27004761
It's not a meme when it's the truth.
>>
I feel like a lot of the hate Chesnaught gets is a bit of a knee jerk reaction. Sure it's not as nice as Chespin, but it's not like it's offensively bad. Wouldn't be shocked if the hate threads that keep popping up were one guy trying to force it, like that one guy with gen 6's pseudo's gender
>>
>>27002855
Thing is Chesnaught was lower than the the other fully evolved mons by a lot. The gaps between the others aren't that considerable, but when Chesnaught is lower than Emboar or Meganium you know that it is truly the worst starter.

>>26997969
Agree on Chestnaught 100%, though I do like Quilladin and wish Chestnaught wasn't so different from it. Chestnaught is just a shit tier design. Awful color scheme, weird body armor. I don't care if it's a ripe Chestnaught; it looks like an anatomical monstrosity.
>>
Chespin is awesome. Quilladin might be in the bottom 10 Pokemon every designed. Chesnaught is fine. I picked it because I pick grass starter every game and if I played through XY again I'd probably pick Gekkouga

Loved these guys. Chespin is cute, but has a lot of character. Quilladin is the perfect example of an awkward second stage, but I'm still a fan of it. Chesnaught is a badass. All in all, best gen 6 evo line.
>>
>>26997513
I love the entire line. Chesnaught is my adventure buddy, I bred a shiny one and I love him.
>>
>>27009089
They're all saying it's the worst starter just because it was the lowest ranked fully evolved starter in the Japanese poll.
>>
Only homosexuals like Chesnaught
>>
If you like Shitnaught, you're unintelligent. Simple as that.
>>
to this day people still don't know what a ripened chestnut shell looks like, and that chesnaught is wearing armor hence why the brown is hidden

oh well, I guess it never ends like how "beam me up scotty" never fades

>>27003969
that doesn't make it hated anon
>>
>>27013696
Maybe it's because reasonable people don't give a shit about the ripened chestnut bullshit that's being spewed around by ignorant idiots? A pokemon should never stick closely to real world ideas and should always share its pre-evolutions' color schemes. No buts or ifs.
>>
>>27013720
except that's never been the case, Pokemon evolutions stick to its THEME than shit like color and such

other mons that changed colors include Honedge and Nidos.

also the irony of calling other people ignorant while proclaiming to be reasonable
>>
>>26997513
It looks awkward as fuck and I don't understand how its arms could even bend. Too much space taken by the shell. I dunno why barafags think he's burly when he's actually quite lanky. That fanart doesn't count.
