Don't get me wrong, I am still picking chespin, I am just hoping that he will turn out to be a knight or something else cool.
Thanks to fanarts, Haribogu is starting to grow on me and giving me high hopes for Chespin3, but still choosing Fennekin anyway.

Chigorasu is cool! Hope it gets the elemental fangs and a powerful evolution. Amarusu is so cute and cool, plus that ability is unbelievable. So, if it uses headbutt, will it still cause flinch? Otherwise, Mega Garchomp is a must have, Fennekin's final will be psychic while chespin's is rock. 31 more days.
Do you know what happens when a princess kisses a frog, same with the ugly ducking.
Chespin will have max swag in 3rd form.
The ugly duckling, my good sir, wasn't even a f------duck in the first place.
I have high hopes for chespin, I just hope he doesn't let me down.
Keep the faith #TeamChespin
I was going to pick Fenn but have now opted for jolly Chespin.
Ugh no #team. That makes me less likely to conform to what you are selling.
Definitely sticking with my choice of Chespin. I like that new evolution, it's cute!
Given the fact that Chigorasu is a T-Rex, and it has an ability tailored for bite moves, and that it's a Dragon-type, it's almost a given that it will have a high attack stat and at least one elemental fang.
Amarusu is pretty cool (no pun intended), but its ability isn't that unbelievable, as it's essentially a variant of Normalize that only works on one type, converts said type into a much better offensive type, and grants a power buff that draws similarities to Adaptability, although the actual boost will probably be lower, about 20-30%.
I would assume that it would, since we have no reason to think it wouldn't, and Game Freak didn't say it wouldn't. On a slightly related note, Ice-type Body Slam: no one is safe from the paralysis!
I don't know about a must have, but it will certainly have an effect on the metagame.
Actually, if the Pokebeach rumors are correct, and they're certainly shaping up to be, Fennekin will be Fire / Psychic, and Chespin will be Grass / Dark.
If we could eight months, than we can certainly wait a little longer, but I get your point.
To sum it all up, I respond with way too much detail to a post a fraction of the size of my response. Edit: Wow, I really should have used hide tags. >.>
I highly agree with this, I envision a slow bulky attacker, similar to Ttar but not as bad as rampardos.
amarusu does indeed seem to be good, but we need not forget his rocks weakness and massive weakness to common physical priorities. But only time will tell.
.
It's more accurate to say that the Pokebeach rumor neglected to mention resistences, not that it didn't have any.
And I suspect that being partially wrong on type match ups (that he either missed or changed since his version of the beta) is different that being wrong on the typings (which are likely tied directly with designs)
I think the leaker just never mentioned what fairy resists. I don't think he explicitly stated that fairy doesn't resist anything. I think the type chart was at beta testing at the time.
EDIT: ninja'd

Expect wi-if population to drop.
Really I quit wi-fi for that specific reason. Every time I'm about to win....disconnect. I actually wanna do wi-fi now.
I was set on Froakie, but its (and Fennekin's) second stage is terrible! On the other hand, Chespin's evolution became my favorite Pokémon of this (and the previous) batch! I'm reserving a team slot for the Rock/Ice dino and Chespiñata!
I thought the power boost meant STAB. As in, your dino now gets STAB from things like Return, Hyper Beam and Tackle.
Didn't that already happen with BW2?
Or am I thinking of a different punishment?
Ah, I see.
I think I was thinking of the hour penalty
It was meant as a joke; wi-if will probably gain more players and/or keep newer players who might be discouraged by people who love their w/l ratio more then life itself.
Probably, I was just counting the possibilities that it could give an additional buff do to it changing a specific type, or the less likely option that it causes Normal-type moves to deal damage as if they were Ice-type moves, i.e. the move gains STAB as if it were a Normal-type move, but otherwise behaves as an Ice-type move, having the same type match ups, etc, and the power boost mentioned would be a sort of "pseudo STAB". While the second option seems unlikely, it would be a (somewhat) simple way to implement the "dual-type moves" the Pokebeach rumor mentioned.
Am I the only person who liked Pignite?
Thanks to fanarts, Haribogu is starting to grow on me and giving me high hopes for Chespin3, but still choosing Fennekin anyway.
I liked pignite....until I found out about it's typing....
Amarusu needs about 200 defense if it wants to survive a bullet punch. Has anyone said anything about the ability that halves damage from contact moves? I can see that making some really good physical walls. The Normal-type that is confirmed to get it essentially loses its Fighting weakness.
Edit: Nope, with uninvested base 100 HP and base 200 def, Bullet Punch is still a guaranteed OHKO.
