[@Glory2Snowstar]

Pre-Meowscarada, Delphox was my favorite Starter line. It's awesome to have such a spooktacular sorcerer, especially in the game that introduced Gourgeist and came out in October! Braixen's whole broom silhouette with the stick in the tail is genius, too- I kinda wish Delphox did something similar. Although the fur robe more than makes up for it, love the swoops!

[@773Spair]

Those two lines are my favorites, too, but swapped. I don't think the Delphox line will be topped in my heart; and, I like Meowscarada's mask.

[@KanaIzumiya]

I appreciate Delphox appreciation. I remember i picked Fennekin in X just because it was the cutest one and getting to Braixen like "oh i know the audience for this". But then it evolved and just thought it was cool, not to mention pretty useful in my playthrough so I do like Delphox more.

[@dreamareakoso3791]

oh man, back when X and Y where new i got X as my first Pokémon game and Fennekin was my first ever pokémon, so i feel ya homie

[@thepsychocat7911]

Its for sure the best 3 solid evolution line since Imo Treeko-Grovyle-Sceptile Line. *the new sprig-flor-meowscarada is great too* I feel like a lot of the times the middle evolutions are pretty yucky but if you have a good middle the start and ends are usually good and you end up having a line that looks good throughout the entirety.

[@gatorkid509]

I actually do like Delphox more than Braixen, mainly because I like Delphox's design more. Yes, the silhouette isn't that unique, especially since they could have made the ear fur look like a witch hat, but I always prefer the final evolutions of the starters more then the middle ones, plus Fire/Psychic is a great type combo, and I think it's Shiny is even better than Braixen. I was also glad the anime finally evolved Serena's Braixen into Delphox since I've always hated that the majority of the starters the gang caught don't reach their final forms, even more so when they don't reach their middle evolutions( Looking at you Rowlett, Totodile Oshawatt, Snivy, Chespin and Grookey). And fun fact about that Sword Art Online clip, the dub voice actress for Asuna also voices Chloe in Journeys, so yo could say it came full circle, or it was just a coincidence, probably the latter.

[@OneWithoutCourage]

I don’t like the middle evolutions of most starters, they just mostly end up looking like teenagers going through puberty 😅

[@idreadFell365]

Delphox looks pretty cool and mystical in the official art, like a witch of sorts but looks a little awkward in the games. Braxian just looks cute and charming through and through.

[@glitchy_weasel]

Braixen reminds me of the little sister archetype: a friendly and upbeat character whose charisma makes you want to protect it at all costs.

[@JiYooHJi]

I prefer Braixen's quasi-magical girl design (probably because I watch a lot of anime). However, I do think Delphox is cooler overall. It looks just as intimidating as the other Kalos Starters do in their final forms, appearing both confident and powerful. Delphox's witch-like design also fits perfectly with the theme the Kalos Starters are based on. I will agree that Braixen's model looks more lively compared to Delphox's, though. Also, I feel like Delphox could have been a Fairy-type instead of a Psychic-type. But it makes sense why it isn't. Along with their original type being good against one another, their secondary type shares this trait as well. Fire/Psychic makes it still weak to the Water/Dark-type Greninja while triumphing over the Grass/Fighting-type Chesnaught. And the Kalos Starters have moves that can counter their rivals, though I do think Delphox needs more options than just Grass Knot and Solar Beam for Greninja in XY. I can see why Serena's Braixen didn't evolve during her time as a main character. Ash, Serena, and Clemont each owned a Starter that was in different stages of their lines: Ash had the final form of the Froakie line, Serena had the middle form of the Fennekin line, and Clemont had the base form of the Chespin line. I think Braixen not evolving is also a nod towards Serena having much more room to grow as a Trainer. Also, what is the witch watching?

[@savannah198]

I absolutely love this Pokémon, it’s Top 5 material for me for sure. It took some time for it to get there though. Initially, I thought Braixen’s design was fine. I liked it and thought it was a cute evolution, but it didn’t blow me away. What sold Braixen for me was its portrayal in various medias. Seeing it move around in the anime was cool enough, but it was mainly Pokken Tournament that helped me like this mon. The magical girl/witch/performer hybrid of a persona was so fun to watch (and play too, she was the first character that stuck with me). And since then, I’ve grown to like Braixen more and more. Don’t get me wrong, I also love Delphox, I think it’s a sick design and Fire/Psychic is great. Using it on various teams was great, it puts in some hard work and does really well. But it will never be able to top the bond I have w/ the middle stage fire fox of Kalos. As a bonus, the whole line as some of my favorite shinies ever, w/ Delphox’s being #1 for me. So yeah, Braixen (and Delphox by extension) is great

[@thestickopia4619]

Delphox is one of my two #1 favorite Pokémon. The other is hisuian zoroark but this isn’t about them I love it due to being a magic fox. I love magic in things, if a game has some kind of magic class I usually pick it right away. Foxes are my favorite animals, and it just has a really cool design in my opinion. I like the fur robe, the stick for a wand and keeping it in the sleeve. I like how the ear fur looks. Something probably unintentional about the design but could be neat if it was intentional is the big ears it has is obviously taken from the fennic fox which the line is based off and the fennics ears help it cool down in the hot environment it lives in, the fur on delphox kinda looks like flames, flames = hot, ears get rid of heat on the fennic. Like I said 99% unintentional but something neat I thought of. But ya I love braixen to, it’s really damn cute but I can’t help but have a bit of annoyance to it cus it overshadows delphox as much as it does and I like delphox more but I still love all three members of the line My one complaint about delphox is ya, it’s 3D model and animations are, not that great it could be way better. And for braixen, I think it’s voice in pokken is really damn annoying I prefer the voice it had in the anime

Dang thank goodness that wasn't real if it was I'm gonna learn about animation and make an animation where shadow the hedgehog shoots malamar with a shotgun after malamar turned Serena into braixen and let shadow the hedgehog cook him by punching his freaking head till malamar faints and catches malamar with a master ball and then incenerate malamar while he's in the PokeBall and then leaves the building with of course *THE ACTUAL GOOD ENDING BUT SERENA IS STILL A BRAIXEN BUT STILL TALKS WITH HER MOUTH* and then when rip off zygarde appears shadow will literally use a rocket powered gun to obliterate that rip off zygarde made by lysandre and then the anime ends the same but Serena and ash never gets a goodbye kiss since if they did that's animal harassment(I'm anti furry but I always imagine it if it would happen if it was real)

[@TrixterTheFemboy]

Fairy is the magic type, essentially. I wish it would've been Fire/Fairy, especially considering it was added in the gen that made Fairy. Also, while I still prefer Braixen, Delphox has definitely grown on me over the years.

Braixen's my main in Pokken as well, I love her quick and aggravating fire attacks and her bubbly cutesy personality.

[@chicapizza29]

Braixen was actually one of two pokemon cards that were my first, with the second being Vulpix! I still have them too, with both of them being in my numerical collection.

[@ShadowXeldron]

I went Fennekin in Y and, naturally, it took the role of the overleveled starter. No wonder I always failed to beat the Elite 4. I do recall being a bit disapointed when it evolved into **shock** a _girl_ Pokemon (the pun name went over my head since I was like ten), but it grew on me. I wonder if that stupid fox is why I like Sonic. It's interesting that the first form is some kind of magical girl while the second form looks more experienced; perhaps Braixen has only recently had Hagrid bust down its door and as such is still getting used to its powers (as well as trying to flaunt them at any opportunity) while Delphox is much more experienced, being more used to its powers and using them more conservatively whilst being far more powerful. I'm doing a Mono-Fire run in Y because, as it turns out, my potato laptop really can run Citra with the upscaler set to 240p (or at least Pokemon since it targets 30FPS across the board) and I wanted an excuse to go Fennekin again (Wilting Y - a hack that I still haven't finished - makes the first encounter a hidden ability Torchic and I ended up having to go Froakie to avoid duplicated types). I'll admit that most early Fire-types kind of blend together with their movepools, but I'm expecting them to vary a lot and I'm planning to pick up a Flareon to replace Pansear (who is so pants he didn't even get a nickname) once I get to Cyllage City, either Slugma or Torkoal for type variety, and a Litwick to cap off the team. I've seen a bit of the XY anime, and I loved that they brought back the classic theme tune. Haven't seen much of it beyond that though.

The more I used it the more I liked it, though, and I *really* loved it when I played through Super Pokemon Mystery Dungeon with a Hero Fennekin and a Partner Froakie

Delphox is my favorite fire starter. I feel like, if they had given its in game model the same stance as it's official art, people would have liked it more.

I was not a fan of the ear hair, and am still not crazy about it, but Braixen has grown on me. I can appreciate her cute tsundere magical girl mannerisms, and I wouldn't be surprised if a future Super Smash Bros. title added her as a playable character. Props to her for distinguishing herself as a middle-stage evolution more popular than either the base or fully-evolved forms. (Yes, I know Braixen can be male and in fact usually are because the devs for some reason think starters need to be male 7/8 of the time - as though we aren't just going to reset scum until we get the one we want anyway - but Braixen's look and behavior are very clearly patterned after traditionally female character archetypes, so to me she's a female by default.)

[@quinnderp]

i believe that the starter gender ratio is not cannon due to the fact that EVERY starter has it and not even just starters, fossil pokemon and eevee have the same ratio. the reason is that originally these pokemon where supposed to be special and rare so having a mostly male gender ratio made it harder to obtain more of them. so yea i believe its just a game mechanic now tradition and is not cannon to the actual pokemon. that being said i personally believe the cannon gender ratio of braixen is mostly female

I've always thought that typically Braixen, as a whole, tend to be more outgoing and happy-go-lucky. When they evolve, the personality shift almost in a spiteful sense. They become more witch-like. Cold and calculating. Not exactly malevolent, but withdrawn, maybe a bit bitter. They're not aggressive, but hostile. Grouchy, unpleasant, and vengeful, yet calm, patient, and ready.

Finally, some Fennekin line appreciation~ I don't care what anyone else says, Delphox is my favourite Pokémon of all time.

I wonder if braixen is just the most popular middle evolution of any pokemon. Not sure I can think of any other that managed to not be completely overshadowed by the evolutions that came before and after (not counting pokemon like pikachu or rhydon that were originally designed as two stage pokemon)

[@fautex47]

I really liked Fennekin and its two evolutions, but I might be a bit biased 🦊

X and Y was my first game and I LOVED it.

Fire/Psychic is already good enough to stop the Fire/Fighting purgatory.

OMG when you made the connection between Delphox and Sophie.. I SAW THE VISION.. she was one of my favorite character in the Darkest Faeire and Sophie’s Stew was a BANGER game 🔥💕
