Like many people in this thread, I do like both. I'll have to side with Umbreon on this one because my teams usually already have something that hits hard and fast like Espeon. Umbreon is one of the pokemon that gives my team a little diversity, and it's super funny to use against wi-fi battlers.

Espeon is prefered by me.
Never liked Umbreon, at all really. (Don't hate me! :3)
I guess I was always that little girl who loved the sunshine.
Don't get me wrong, I love dark types, but Umbreon seemed to scare me. Its glow, maybe? Ha.

FreakyLocz14 June 22nd, 2009 8:21 PM

Espeon because it's my type specialty... Psychic!

Shiny Star_Pichu June 22nd, 2009 9:03 PM

I like Espeon because I think it is cool. I like the cool attack. =D

Serene Grace June 22nd, 2009 9:32 PM

Umbreon has really cool looks. In the Anime and the games, It's sprites and looks just make it angry and beautiful. I also like the fact that It's dark and it glows.

It's also my choice for in-game. It's a great staller and tank and can't get taken down easily.

Umbra= shadow:) I believe it's a latin derivative. (I could just be blowing smoke out my @ss, so feel free to correct me lol.).

But ehhhh this one is hard. Love 'em both, but Umbreon is da sheezy. It's so phantom/ninja esque.

Espeon.

Being able to predict the weather and the actions of your enemies is much more awesome than sweating poison and glowing. I mean, wtf is with that?

Silvergale June 22nd, 2009 10:03 PM

I love them both so it's a really hard decision, but since I gotta
make up my mind, I like Espeon better.

Inferno1 June 22nd, 2009 10:33 PM

i voted umberon only because it is dark and mysterious

kurusakiz June 22nd, 2009 11:19 PM

i prefer espeon, its a good sweeper =D

Expada June 22nd, 2009 11:45 PM

I prefer Umbreon, because

1. It comes from the Latin Umbra- Which means Shade, and I name most of my female characters Umbra.

2. I love darkness

Espeon is a much much better sweeper than Umbreon but it cannot take many hits. Umbreon can't attack heavily because of those crappy offences but is very strong defensively and can be used as stalling. Both have different roles: Espeon-Sweeper, Umbreon-Tank. I prefer Umbreon as he is better looking and he can annoy as hell!!

I love them both, but I think Umbreon just about edges it based on aesthetics and personal preference.

That is the same reason that I prefer Umbreon.

I prefer Umbreon; I like how his black color and red eyes give it a look of something menacing, yet cool.

I'm also a fan of its battling capabilities. Endurance is always a positive.

HirakuNoShadow June 25th, 2009 2:34 AM

Power and speed-wise - I'd prefer Espeon
Defensive and Coolness-wise - Definitely Umbreon

But nevertheless, I use Umbreon more than Espeon in the game

sanoj94 June 25th, 2009 2:38 AM

umbreon cuz he is stronger

Ho-Oh June 25th, 2009 5:21 AM

Espeon. It's cuter.. and appears to be stronger. :D

Superjub June 25th, 2009 11:30 AM

I love Espeon! :D *cough*Old username*cough* It's like my, joint-first favourite Pokemon ever. :D I just love everything about it.

Umbreon looks good too, though. :)

Raykon June 25th, 2009 6:52 PM

I like Umbreon a lot more then Espeon, in the game Espeon is a lot better that's for sure imo.

SuperBob June 25th, 2009 6:54 PM

I love Umbreon for its defenses. :O

This. I'm not sure why I like Espeon better looks-wise, I just always have. I really like Umbreon, too, though...they are my #2 and #3 respectively on my list of my favorite Eeveelutions.

Doctortux June 26th, 2009 8:21 AM

I think Espeon is better. It's moves like phsycic and return do extremely well in battle while most of Umbreon's moves like crunch and bite stink. The only good move it learns is shadow ball. I also think Espeon is better is because it looks better. Umbreon looks cool too but that gem in the center of Espeon's forehead really got me. Like somebody else said, it makes it look really wise and powerfull, which it has proven itself to be.

CrazyCubone June 26th, 2009 9:04 AM

I base my decision on looks. I used to prefer Umbreon, but recently I've been leaning towards Espeon, so I picked Espeon.

Switchback June 26th, 2009 9:21 AM

Umbreon by miles.

It looks better, sounds better and survives in battle which I can't say for Espeon. Sure it's powerful, like most Psychic Pokemon if not all, but one hit and half the time it's KO'd due to bad defenses.

Umbreon however is old reliable, sturdy in battle and hilarious when fighting over game link watching your opponent become so frustrated at finally whittling down it's HP then watching you use Moonlight. Then good old Toxic kills off their last Pokemon while you sit there grinning like a Cheshire Cat.

Good times.

TheAliveTrain June 26th, 2009 1:08 PM

Umbreon

He is cool and he's a Dark type, which is one of my favorites. Also on battle he is so annoying because it can turn hard to defeat. (Who remembers Karen from G/S/C?)
