>>13925652I think there's legitimate people who are fine with it. I don't find Chespin shitty but I don't see any change with Quilladin besides it being fatter. Still, there's some people who DO like it.
There's definitely people in denial, though. Most of them in denial are dead set that the second stage is to set up some badass third stage ala Salamance or Tyranitar. They're so in denial that they're going as far as to doubt Pokebach saying it'll be Grass/Dark.
