>>28276038>I've been on /vp/ since BW2 and when the XY starters were all leaked by the people who got their early copies, Chesnaught was initially the most popular on /vp/.>>28276128>Greninja was very dislikedI like Chesnaught, but it's sad that the fanbase is almost entirely comprised of history revisionist bullshitters. Literally the only time when Greninja was polarizing in /vp/ was when the first, low-quality image was leaked in Sept 29. When we got more images, Pokemon-Amie screens and also the others' evos, he instantly became the most liked.
I can't seem to find the biggest poll made in /vp/ regarding the Final Starter evos. One that had around 7,000 votes, though it admittedly got shared in LE READIT.
In the meantime, here are other high volume polls i've found that originated in /vp/

http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/11/26/the-best-worst-xy-pokemon-revealedThis one had nearly 8 million
Compare the Serebii polls pre-greninja reveal:

http://www.serebiiforums.com/showthread.php?617734-Starters-Discussion-Thread-v295% of polls ranked him as either the best or at least top 3 of Gen VI. And i'm only talking about the polls done on the first 2 months since his reveal.
Greninja had one of the most overwhelmingly positive receptions in starter history, is tied with Gardevoir for highest Pokemon Amie use, and Froakie remains to this day the most wonder traded pokemon of all time.
