Because we definitely don't need a tiny fox Pokémon being with a girl, trying to be cute, and then it doesn't evolve even though there's not reason for it to not evolve.
At least with Ash's Fennekin, it not evolving would be actually unique since Ash has other Pokémon, and why not leave one of his fire Pokémon unevolved (as in refusing to evolve), or something of that nature, but I'll be more than fine if it does evolve.
Edit: And be honest here people, if Chespin is the most "marketable" why wouldn't they give that to the new girl if she get one. The only reason why Ash got Oshawott was BECAUSE he got all 3 starters. Pull a May/Dawn situation, and I'm sure said girl would've received Oshawott. The only problem that would be is it would be a water starter like Dawn's Piplup, but that would be the only reason it wouldn't happen. Nothing is stopping the situation happening to Chespin however.
