I know that we already have the Slakoth line, but Slaking looks a lot more like a gorilla than a sloth in my opinion.

Chespin's name in various languages...
English:
Chespin. chestnut + pin
Japanese:
Harimaron. harinezumi (hedgehog) + marron (chestnut in French)
French:
Marisson. marron (chestnut) + herrison (hedgehog)
German:
Igamaro. igel (hedgehog) + marone (chestnut)
As you can see, you'd be
very hard-pressed to argue that Chespin will evolve into anything other than a spiky hedgehog Pokemon.
