My older siblings have a rowlet and a torchic and everyone is trying to make me pick a water type too but when I said I wanted a piplup people started trying to tell me that quaxley is "better" and wouldn't tell me why. Do you have any advice about quaxley? I don't know much about them but everyone wants me to get one so I think I might have to get one.
honestly? i think you should stand up for choice of pokemon you want to get. piplup and quaxly are very different in terms of personality and care needs. if you've been preparing for a piplup, and that's the pokemon you want? then go for it. otherwise, you're setting up your relationship with your starter on a basis of resentment, which isn't fair to you or your pokemon.
quaxly are fastidiously clean, careful pokemon that can be wary and timid compared to the brazen piplup. their strong legs make them good swimmers, but as they evolve, they move away from the water a little bit to practice their dancing moves on land. they're more outgoing upon evolution than a prinplup or empoleon, and their behavior and style are a bit more flamboyant than the quiet, prideful evolutions piplup undergoes. they require more socialization and a warmer environment, and they're better at physical combat while the piplup line are better at special attacks. it's up to you to decide if you actually prefer a quaxly and its evolutions to the piplup line, but you should take in whichever pokemon you think better fits you.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky Holographic Seals
JR East ★ 2009 ★ Japan
These stickers were given away in a JR East bullet train campaign that ran from March 20th to April 5th. During this campaign, children of elementary school age could receive these seals from Suica (rechargable fare cards utilized in most forms of Japanese public transit) touch stations. Once all four of the available seals had been collected, the remaining two seals could be collected by visiting both goal locations.

Review for the Piplup line please :)
Piplup is pretty cute! It's nothing overly fancy and you can't really tell the theme at this stage, but I'm always a bit more lenient towards first-stagers, seeing as the design elements get built up as they evolve.
For the design itself, the dark blue areas and white spots sort of loosely hint at the formal-wear motif that'll become more obvious as it evolves. The white areas resemble that of an emperor penguin chick, and they help to draw attention to the eyes. I do wish the spiky light blue area above the beak was more rounded, as it's the only part of the design that's so angular, but everything else looks pretty solid.
Also, side note: I like how stubborn and prideful this line is. It's fun to get Pokemon with distinct personalities, especially when the design itself is still vague enough to be interpreted in multiple ways.
Prinplup is one of those middle evos that just kind of Exists. It's not terrible, but it's a pretty straightforward in-between for the two stages and doesn't really have much going for it in and of itself. I like the shape of the dark blue areas, which accent the body well, and the little dots now resembling buttons on an undercoat is a nice touch. Other than that, it's serviceable, but fairly forgettable compared to the rest of the line.
And I actually like Empoleon quite a bit. It's true that it's a little too busy, which I'll get into a minute, but the royalty/formal-wear theme combined with the trident beak really works well, and it's surprisingly powerful looking for something as inherently silly as a penguin.
I like how this stage in particular drops the lighter blue in favor of a dark navy blue that really adds a nice bit of contrast. The blade-like structures on its fins, the trident beak, and the collar all help convey its steel-typing, and the lacy front marking helps break things up from being too dark.
My only issue with it is that it's got one too many elements going on with it. For example, those claws on the underside of the wing. I kind of like the idea of a penguin with claws, but they really don't add anything to the design, and only serve to clutter things. The spiky blue marking on the face wasn't really needed, and the blade going down the front of the body splits the white area in a weird way (it's supposed to be a tie, maybe? a bit long for that though). Also, the shape of the white area is a bit too round compared to everything else on the body. The actual base design is really great—it's just a little more cluttered than it probably should've been.
(Also, its beak looks really strange from the side.)
Anyway, overall, a good starter line. Prinplup's a bit bland and Empoleon's just a little too busy, but those are the only real issues in a line that otherwise has a strong theme and a good sense of cohesion.
