ReelzChannel posted a new interview with actor Anton Yelchin, who will play the new Pavel Chekov in J.J. Abrams upcoming Star Trek movie. Here are a few excerpts from the article.
In the interim, he's sanguine about fan reaction. "Who knows, I may be (scared) later, because Star Trek is such a big thing that I hope I don't let anyone down, I hope everyone is satisfied with whatever. But then again, it's such a big thing that you can't please everyone," says Yelchin. "I look at all these movies like Spider-Man and stuff, and then I think of myself walking out of Spider-Man, saying, ‘Oh well, like, in the cartoon... when I was seven...' Everyone's got their own thing, and some people get very upset and take it personally. But the cool thing about it is if you just think about the fact that people have taken something so personally, it means so much to them. It's kind of a great thing to think about - that Star Trek and Spider-Man, or X-Men could mean so much to someone that they'd actually really take it seriously enough to criticize the hell out of someone because they don't fit their image. If I think about it that way, I'll take it less seriously."

Quote from Captain Patti:
There was no Chekov in the first season anyways.
Your conclusion shows a lack of creative reasoning skills. There was a Pavel Chekov aboard NCC-1701 in the timeframe of TOS season one, but we don't see him. Another character does see him, however.
Let's recap the situation for newbies: Khan Noonien Singh is introduced in first season TOS episode "Space Seed". At that time, we don't see Chekov at the helm. Yet, in post-TOS movie The Wrath of Khan, Singh says, "I never forget a face. Mister Chekov, isn't it?"
Any fan with commonsense will consider that Chekov, like Sulu, wasn't a bridge officer at the start of his tour aboard Kirk's ship. This is one option for Chekov in the ST:XI story.
The Trek gossip bloggers have overlooked Yelchin's remark (in a video interview at MovieWeb) that his young Pavel character works as an engineer: "I know [Chekov] is an engineer. He's a young, like, engineer on the craft."
Khan will first encounter young Chekov on Scotty's engineering team at the time of "Space Seed."
