Pokemon Analysis Series: Eevee
Thread discussing planning for this article series in general.
The gist: we will be covering a Pokemon, followed by any evolutions of it, in a series of articles. This is not a battling guide (but it can include it!) - rather it will be a collection of aspects - talking about the basis of the Pokemon, neat trivia, fanworks involving it, etc. Right now, please throw up whatever idea you come up with! It can be something that could be done for every Pokemon we analyse, it could be Eevee specific, it could be serious, it could be silly, it could involve making a video... go nuts. Given this will require multiple articles, we want multiple writers to tackle this! Volunteer for any part you're interested in tackling after we decide what articles we want to spawn! This is also something that may be hosted across forum sections; for instance if we run events requesting fics/art/etc based on Eevee, or a discussion thread on Eevee, those threads will be hosted in their relevant forums before we go through the posts to turn into an article! To start off with it was decided that we'll tackle the Eevee line! After that we'll move to its evolutions, and then worry about deciding the next line to tackle. I'll update this post with the current list of article ideas for Eevee. Not all of these need happen, e.g. if there is no sense in an article about using Eevee in a battle situation.
Will edit later, for now supply your ideas and thoughts! |
If you plan on writing a battling article on Eevee it will be 90% about how Bunnelby outclasses it.

Mind you (general you given you, gimmepie, pointed this out :V), a humorous article on how bad Eevee is at battling is something to consider. "Sure, Blue picked an Eevee in Yellow - and you beat him up with a Pikachu!. The Pokemon for "Champions for all of five minutes"", "for such a popular Pokemon you'd think it had better stats than the likes of Krabby, or Magnemite - but it ties with those.", etc. |

Eevee is the cute fan favorite, and a companion of many Trainers. Its name is a palindrome. Eevees physiology are based off of mammals like dogs, foxes and cats. It is unknown why Eevee can only learn Normal-type Attacks other than bite. It could have something to do with its specialty. While most pokemon have an evolution. The ones that do tend to only have one or two. Eevee, however; have 8 evolutions or as pokeprofessors say "Eeveelution". Eevee has an evolution for 8 other types, each of them specializing only in that type.
Maybe someone can expand on that. |

For the mock article of raising Eevee can we say:
"Make sure your eevee never plays around fire stones." Battling, and TCG I'm not much help there. Eevee is the rival's starter in Yellow, and you start with a Eevee in XD: Gale of Darkness. As for eevee it likes getting pet, massages, poffins, poke puffs, cuddles, long walks. Eevees are very sociable creatures and enjoy the company of others. Don't let eevee lose a batlle or contest as its heart can break very easily. |

Johnny, if you want to start a new contest in A&D about drawing Eevee for this project, go right ahead. Otherwise I'd recommend not changing any currently running events, since they're not mine to change. There's no problem with having a few events running at once. :) |
We could do the same in FF&W! See if people want to write a story about Eevee, or whatever Pokemon the article is about. Or we can look through what's already posted in the section and see if we can find stories posted about Eevee.

So you're thinking about raising an Eevee?
Many trainers choose Eevee as their starter pokemon for its ease to raise. It's a great partner to have. While Eevee doesn't have a wide move pool as other pokemon do it specializes in other types once it evolves. A eevee that is very close to its trainer is likely to eevolve quicker. Taking your Eevee is one way to raise its happiness as well as leaving it out of its pokeball. Eevees enjoy exploring, and like running around weather it be in or outside the home. They are creatures that love playing with others so expect your little guy or gal to dominate your time. It wants to be around you. If your eevee feels neglected it will rub its head against your leg seeking attention, or may try naughty things. One time I left an eevee I was training with my mom for a week. My eevee got jealous and ruined the furniture. I tried to get the smell out, but nothing would work (even tried Sweet Scent, but that only attracted caterpies, and spinarks.) Safe to say some Eevees can get very jealous. A healthy portion of all natural Pokeblock, and training will do your eevee well, and feeding it a Poké Puffs once a day as a reward or treat will make your Eevee's eyes sparkle. Once your Eevee is old enough it may evolve, and when that happens we will see you again on how to train your eeveelution. Again someone can edit/expand this. What is this project. I'm still wet behind the ears here. |
It's just an article series about a particular Pokemon, filled with various facts, information, and creative works done in honor of the Pokemon.
Like bobandbill said, though, hold off on actually writing anything for the article. That will take part in the writing section. This thread is just to toss around general ideas for the article about Eevee. |

Updated the first post with articles to be written and stuff. Looking for more input, guys! Some of it is below, and new ideas is also appreciated (they don't need to be done for every species feature btw; they could be specific to Eevee).
For the first article for each Pokemon, here's the current suggestions for the naming scheme I've come up with: Quote:
- Trading Card Game article? Talk about the cards featuring Eevee? - Eevee fanwork feature - support from mods for separate threads in A&D and FF&W to get contributions to art to be featured, supplemented by existing works. (PC-only content for such articles? From experience collecting off-site fanworks is a timely process to feature...) May require a short article post encouraging readers to offer submissions first. - Nicknames for Eevee? Any interest? E..g discussion thread asking for nicknames, follow-up article from the 'Name Rater' rating these names. (I've done a couple of these before elsewhere). |
Quote:
Any more thoughts on nickname article/article titles/etc? Soon I'll post a separate thread for the first main article, in this section so anyone can contribute bits and pieces. Thinking allowed on what will be in it so please throw about ideas for this too and the order (no writing yet!): - Intro section (about the article series, what to expect) - Information/trivia on the Pokemon's name - Abilities (and say how that ties into the Pokemon itself) - Its basis (what animal/object it is based on) - Height/weight info - Quick battling summary - Where to find Eevee (game locations, etc?) - Other trivia. - ????? |
Alright, the first article is nigh done (images and another proofread). After that goes up (ideally by this weekend) we'll have an article by gimmepie on battling with Eevee as well. Time to get a move on other articles! And hence time to quote-notify. Anyone else can give their thoughts as well, and also suggest other article ideas!

Meanwhile, I will tackle these ones: Quote:

Concerning fanworks, yeah probably featuring works from PC would be best for now. I do know one or two stories that has Eevee featured, but I'm totally fine having a thread asking if anyone has or knows any works with Eevee (and other Pokemon) featured in this site. I'm assuming both art and writing will be in the same article?
|
Quote:
And good question. Probably just the one article imo for PC works involving Eevee, but if there's a lot of things to feature then two could be considered as well. |
don feels a TCG article on Eevee cards is worthwhile!
Quote:
Last call to state your interest in writing an article on Caring for your Eevee or the Nickname articles for Eevee. |

Lending my thumbs up to any and all operations related to this article! You have A&D's full support. 8)

Meanwhile, will appreciate any people helping locate any Eevee visual art on PC. We already have 3 fics submitted, but no visual art! =( I'm roughly halfway done with the 'Caring for your Eevee' article (in a wordpress draft post), sans stuff like a cover image. (Maybe Jess' illustration for Eevee could be used for that...?) |
I don't know the TCG, maybe you should ping user ddrox. For memory he's pretty big on the TCG.

Bump. Going to try and get stuff wrapped up given I started the planning thread for Solosis + friends articles!
To be done: - Caring for your Eevee article. I have half a draft done and aim to finish that soon. - TCG article. ddrox has offered to take that on, and his other article is nigh done now (last stage of editing, basically). - Artwork feature article (on pc only!) Free for someone to take on, but nobody has put up examples of visual art in the thread in A&D. Will very much appreciate help with this! (Fics meanwhile had at least three submissions last I checked). Jess' drawing for the WTP article counts, but that's still just the one. If people want a separate 'external-to-PC-fanworks on Eevee' article that needs to be started on now as well. If anyone wants to write another article on Eevee, best get to pitching it here asap! |
