==Trivia==
*Chespin is the first Grass-type First partner Pokémon that is not reptile-based but instead based on a mammal, in this case a rodent or a marsupial. Judging by its Japanese, English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Korean name, it appears to be based on a hedgehog.
*Chespin's evolution line is based off the warrior class in various RPG games.
*In Super Smash Bros., Chespin is one of the Pokémon that can be freed from Pokéballs. During this time, it uses the move Seed Bomb.
===Origin===
Chespin is based on a hedgehog and a chestnut.
===Etymology===
* Chespin comes from chestnut (a hard shelled nut), chinkapin (a species of chestnuts) and pin.
* Its Japanese name, Harimaron, is a combination of 蝟 (harinezumi, hedgehog), 針 (hari, needle), and marron (French for "chestnut").
