I for a long time have also never been impressed by the grass type starters. Bulbasaur was the only one that remotely looked awesome to me. However... I love chespin. In fact this is the first gen that I have thought all of the starters are well done(besides first gen). I am super happy with the starters on this gen. I do not however do not care for the final evos of the grass/fire types. I am still rolling chespin though. Super CUTE!! Have they confirmed if hes grass/dark?
