1st Gen What did you evolve your Eevee into?

[Imperator161]

When I first played Red, I went with Jolteon, as I thought it looked the coolest (and maybe I wanted an electric type; I don't really remember). I think I went with Flareon the next time through to try out something different. I never went with Vaporeon, as I already had Blastoise as my starter.

It never occurred to me when I first played Red that I should trade all of the exclusive Pokémon back and forth with friends before evolving them at each stage (starters, fossils, eeveelutions, etc.). I don't think I actually realized that my "choice" was a permanent one with regard to those Pokémon, and I was kind of unhappy when I found that out later. I also wasn't really focused on Pokedex completion to begin with; I just wanted to beat the game with my Blastoise.

Later, however, breeding in GSC helped things, plus I could buy more Eevees at the daycare in those games, so that helped me finish off my eeveelution set (and consequently, my Pokedex) several years after I got the game.

I was feverishly obsessed with Flareon during the Kanto era, and even though it was the weakest of the Eeveelutions, I always chose to go down the challenging road and use him. I believe it was an anime episode that made me so in love with Flateon, but I can't remember the name of it off the top of my head, but I digress. In my more recent playthroughs of RBY, I've gone with the speedy Jolteon. A lovely option if Raichu isn't for you! :]

 

[Mecheon]

I always elected Vaporeon in my Yellow version. Water type was the oddity among Fire & Electric (being energies), so I chose Vaporeon. When I decided to take a chance on Jolteon, its late move "Pin Missile" did not do it justice. Flareon was never even a player due to Fire being the most celebrated classical element as a "Gift from the Gods."

 

[Rizardon]

I chose Jolteon because I thought he had the best typing of the three and he looked much "cooler" than the other two.

 

[Yato]

I've evolved Eevee into all three forms at some point, but I think I mostly went with Jolteon because I believed Green's Eevee evolved based on what your Eevee evolved into and wanted it to not be weak against the other two Eeveelutions. (In fact, I didn't learn it depended on if you battled him in certain places and won or lost said battles until recently.)

 

[Universe]

Honestly my memory is very fuzzy when it comes to my Eevee from Red version, but I do know for a fact that I evolved my Eevee into the greatest Eeveelution in Yellow version.

;3

It was also the best option for me because Squirtle is my least favorite of the Kanto starters, so I ended up not making any use of it.
Thus, Vaporeon became my primary Water type! No complaints here.~

 

[xMewtwox]

Jolteon for me. I only played the Blue/Red versions so I never started with Pikachu. I usually lacked a good lightning Pokemon so Jolteon was the choice for me.

 

[Apollo]

I evolved it to Jolteon on Blue. ;) I picked Charmander, and I planned for a Lapras later on - so I just evolved my Eevee to Jolteon. On Red, I evolved to Vaporeon.

 

[enigmaeffect]

My Eeveelution always matches the version I'm playing - Vaporeon for Blue, Jolteon for Yellow, Flareon for Red.

 

[WhiteLioness]

I replayed original Red and I got a-thinking, you can't catch Eevee in the wild nor is there a Daycare system yet, so you actually have to put a bit of thought into what to evolve it into. I chose Vaporeon because my starter was Venusaur and I was too lazy to use the advanced Rods. (Turns out, you also have the added bonus of having a strong Surf user that also learns Acid Armor.)

P.S. I taught my Vaporeon Ice Beam, making him Lance's arch-rival. :P

Again, my specialty is the fire type so I'd always evolve it into Flareon. It went with my skills and personality.

Flareon is just gorgeous. I thought it was much more good looking than Jolteon or Vaporeon.

 

[WhiteLioness]

I chose Jolteon because I thought he had the best typing of the three and he looked much "cooler" than the other two.

We agree to disagree. I thought that Flareon was the best-looking and that Jolteon and Vaporeon were kind of ugly.

 

[WhiteLioness]

Flareon. Always Flareon. I don't know why, as I usually chose Charmander for my starter, but hey. Gotta love those fire types. ^_^ Plus, Flareon is adorable.

I love your thinking! Keep it up!

 

[LyokoGirl5000]

In my last Blue run, I chose Flareon because I was also completing the Dex in Yellow and it worked best for my teams in Red and Yellow. I ended up deleting Jolteon and Vaporeon because they were on my Yellow when I tried to shark a Surfing Pikachu [Do you know how long it takes to get one of those from Stadium?] after finishing the Dex. Flareon was spared because it was on Gold at the time. I also think Flareon looks so fluffy!

 

[Ragna]

I remember that I evolved my eevee into jolteon. I just liked the design of Jolteon.

 

[curiousnathan]

I never evolved my Eevee against popular demand, lol.

 

[lilartistgrrl]

I am absolutely captivated by Vaporeon's cry. Second only to Jynx :)

 

[nesinomics]

I remember I chose Vaporean because it was blue and blue was my favorite color. I was just a young kid so I never really cared about typing or balancing my team.

 

[Sheep]

Jolteon was my first eeveelution if I remember right. It helped cover a lot of bases since I didn't have any other electric types yet by that time in the game. But I've evolved it into its other forms so many times that I could very well be remembering wrong here, ahaha.

 

[«Chuckles»]

Jolteon, I love its design and its speed helped me a lot!

 

[Mega Venusaur]

I gave my Eevee a Water Stone so that it could protect my Venusaur from enemy fire-type Pokémon, such as Charizard, in its Vaporeon form.
