I recall Chespin being the most popular way back in February 2013 because people were expecting it to become sanic, with Fennekin sitting in second because people were happy that it didn't look like it'd become another Fire/Fighting. Froakie was the least popular around here, at least in part because of how frog-centric the Gen V meta was had soured people on the idea of yet another water frog.
Personally it was my favorite from the get-go, reading Ranma 1/2 in my school library way back when let me pick up on the traditional Japanese thief motif immediately when everyone else was making Benjamin Franklin jokes.Of course Frogadier leapfrogged Quilladin when it was revealed, but the "I wanna fuck that" crowd and the "hooray it's not going to be Fire/Fighting again" crowd pushed Braixen near the top.
