It should have been Grass/Dark just like the leaks said.
Actual medieval knights were never honorable or heroic, they were selfish gluttonous assholes who would oppress and metaphorically shit on peasants. As fighting type is associated with superheroes, fighting type simply don't make sense at all on this specific knight themed pokemon.
In addition, Grass/Dark would have been a better defensive typing.

Geez anon were your ancestors bullied by these guys or something...

They're based on RPG archetypes.
Chesnaught is the Fighter/Knight, so it's Fighting type.
Delphox is the Mage, so it's Psychic type.
Greninja is the Rogue/Thief, so it's Dark type. Additionally, Ninjas are the epitome of underhanded fighting.

shiny color scheme should have been default

This so much, its just the natural progression from the preevolutions
Why not Steel/Grass?
Steel representing the Armor of the Knight
>>31914429
Because it's not made of steel. If anything, it should've been Grass/Bug.

Nice digits
>>31914429
why not Grass/Alomomola?

>Geez anon were your ancestors bullied by these guys or something...
There's a pretty good chance for that, actually.
Well, it isn't Grass/Dark so what is the point of this thread?
>>31912571
No I think grass/steel should've been the typing. Just think about it. Knight, armor, spikes shield, he's bulky for no reson.
>>31915400
It's simply mentioning wasted potential.
>>31915430
Chesnaught isn't actually "bulky", the shell just makes it look that way. It's actually quite lanky.

Not even close
>>31912571
Chivalry is honorable. Just because your ancestors lost life's lottery and were shitty peasants doesn't mean that Knights were any less based

>Resists Ground, Rock, Water, Grass, Electric, and Dark
>Bulletproof makes it immune to ball/bomb moves
>4x Flying weakness isn't as big a problem now that Bravest Bird is dead
It's fine the way it is
Grass/Steel
Fire/Fairy
Water/Dark
None of their stats are changed. Delphox just gets access to Fairy Moves in bulk.
Bam, the Kalos starters are now the best things ever.

because it wouldn't work for the fight>dark>psychic type triangle gamefreak was going for, of course, it still didn't worked because they decided special snowflake smogonfrog should turn into every fucking type, throwing its fighting or grass weakness away by using gunk shot.

>still being this butthurt
Accept the facts that shitnaught and shitphox are shit and deal with it. All normal people are happy about Greninja's strength.
>>31915588
I'd rather have bulletproof halve the damage of all special attacks, or just make it protect against a few more moves if that's too broken.
