>>58377478Honestly Chesnaught would've been far more popular than Greninja from the get-go if only it was represented as Ash's ace in the anime instead of Greninja, got into Smash Bros instead of Greninja, and had better stats than Greninja.
Greninja is cool but not far superior to the other Kalos starters. It only became as big as it was because of the anime and Smash Bros and Battle Bond and shit. Chesnaught looks just as cool as Greninja if not more.
