chespin looks really contrived and it's elements don't mesh well at all
fennekin is nice and simple, but suffers from looking similar to zorua
froakie looks cool and original, but is a little to out there to look natural sitting next to the established pokemon
none of them really have the appeal to me that older characters have because they seem to have lost the natural feel that gen 1 pokemon had
they have no grit and just come off really 2 dimension (ironically)
I don't dislike the two that aren't chespin, but I really find ken's old stuff a lot more appealing and mature
and just because I like the established pokemon more doesn't mean I wanted more of the same with gen 6 (in fact these pokemon's biggest weaknesses are there similarities to old pokemon), I just wish they could expand on the old design aesthetic instead of changing it to the point where it becomes unrecognizable as the same series (besides contrivances arbitrarily attached to some characters)
