Chesnaught is legit a contender for bottom 3 Pokemon design, and Quillidan is nothing special at all, which explains why they never show up at all.

Delphox... yeah, Braxien overshadowed her. Shame because I actually do like Delphox's design.
Personally, I don't think Chesnaught is a bad design. It's a little awkward I'll admit, but there's nothing about it that strikes me as terrible either. However, at the same time I will say that I also don't find too much about it very memorable either. As time has gone on I've realized it hasn't really stuck with me and it's just kind of... there as a design, something that fills its role as the 'fighter' of its trio but doesn't do it in a way that makes it easy to latch on to like Greninja did or even Delphox to a smaller extent. It's just OK, and in a group that has many standout Pokemon for positive or negative reasons that makes it easy to forget.

And yeah, I do feel bad for Delphox for that reason. It's a good design, but a lot of people gravitated towards Braxien and after the anime pushed the latter that stuck. It also probably didn't help that its 3D model left a bad first impression, so a lot of people probably wrote it off early on and didn't really give it a second chance.

It just dawned on me; the real life city of Mombasa must have gotten a tiny bit of an increase in tourism when Halo 2 released. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't, but it's still something interesting to think about, how real-life locations appearing in popular games can have an impact on the real place.

P.S. Popplio is my favorite 'Mon because it was my first

Wow. I've just remembered that I've actually posted and played some games today. I must be having those out of touch days like in March. I would have periods of memory problems that I wouldn't have the recollection of those who care about me in real life nor their names. It's as if I never knew them. Although, I'm use to not being cared for, it would break my heart should anything happen to them.

But anyway, I love Delphox and you can rip it from my cold dead hands. Everyone is just mean
