Should the Eeveelution Line be continued in SM?
 
The Eeveelution Line is known for the wide variety of the different types Eevee evolves into, but should Eevee really get another Evolution? Do you think there should be an Eeveelution exclusive to each type eventually? Why or why not?

Bonus Question! : Do you think Eeveelutions should get a mega evolution? Why or why not?

Even though I'd love to see a Poison-type Eeveelution, I don't think they should introduce a new one for this particular gen considering we had Sylveon in gen VI. Since the third gen there's been a pattern that takes a break for every other generation, I think this is a good idea because it keeps it under control.

Drake22ice May 22nd, 2016 5:04 PM

They have waited every other generation, but they had also brought out two at a time, where we only got Sylveon on last time. They might have brought out two, but I think they wanted to focus the generation's new Fairy type. So I think we are due another.

Malamarvellous May 22nd, 2016 5:29 PM

I wouldn't mind one more to compliment Sylveon, but at the same time I really don't care that much.
It's getting to a point where there are too many eeveelutions. I don't think we will get an eeveelution for every single type, well at least I hope we don't.
One more is enough and that will make 10 all together, including Eevee

Mawa May 22nd, 2016 6:14 PM

I kinda want a new eeveelution, yes. It's always fun :3 But we didn't had any in Gen5 and I didn't really minded.
But as for the mega evolutions, no I don't tink I want to see this. I mean if one eeveelution has one, every others will need one too. The only one I'll like is Eevee.

PageEmp May 22nd, 2016 9:38 PM

I doubt that this generation would give us a new one, mainly since they are usually like, released only on even numbered gens.

As for qn2, I'd say yes, could be interesting.

Hikamaru May 23rd, 2016 2:55 AM

Like what some of the others said, I'm probably not expecting a new Eeveelution. Also I think Sylveon's main purpose was to showcase Fairy-type since it was newly introduced.

LilBueno May 23rd, 2016 10:03 AM

Well, we got Umbreon and Espeon the generation after Eeveelutions were introduced. I know I figured that meant we'd get new ones every Generation. While we do have a good number of them, I think the whole idea of Eevee's genetic malleability is to eventually have one of every type. "Able to adapt its genes to its surroundings...as long as they're not Ground, Rock, Ghost, Fighting, Bug, Steel, or Poison!"

ZangooseClaw May 23rd, 2016 11:09 AM

I think we are about due for at least one this generation, considering the patterns people have already discussed. Personally a Poison or Steel type would be pretty neat :)

As far as a mega evolution goes, I don't see it happening for a single eeveloution because they've always been siblings and putting one above another doesn't seem in the Pokemon spirit. Having Eevee itself mega-evolve would be a cool design but a pre-evolved form will never see that happen either.

Maserati777 May 23rd, 2016 2:24 PM

I would love to see new evolutions of previous gen Pokemon this generation.


My top 2 choices for types of Eeveelutions this gen are definitely Steel and Dragon/Flying

Razoreon and Soareon

Pretty Wing May 24th, 2016 4:06 AM

I'd love them to introduce a Mega Eevee over a new eeveelution, personally. Most likely an unpopular opinion right? Maybe make it unique in that gets a 200 point stat boost, to match it's other counterparts. She's a popular Pokémon, so I could expect preferential treatment from GF in that respect. What stats would be improved is up in the air to me, though. I'm just imagining a larger, fluffier Eeevee with nods to Ninetales/Arcanine in design.

Checkchiron May 24th, 2016 4:22 AM

I'd love to see a ghost type eevee. But that will probably not happen. Especially not in this generation. Alola/Hawaii sounds more like a tropical region, a ghost eevee wouldn't fit there.

As far as Mega-evolutions I'd only see the normal Eevee getting one and not his eeveelutions.

Iceshadow3317 May 24th, 2016 5:22 AM

I am not expecting one, but I wouldn't be surprised.

All of the patterns that are around are being broken. I think this is because Game Freak said there wasn't any patterns, but then they went back and saw the patterns that we were talking about. The pattern for Eeveelutions could also be broken. We still have about 10 types (9 if you don't count normal) and Megas they have to get through. So they may start speeding things up.

Taemin May 24th, 2016 12:36 PM

I would never complain about new Eeveelutions. I really like Eevee and all it's evolutions, so I'd definitely be interested in new ones for Sun and Moon. Though, part of why I like them is just because I like foxes, and dogs and all those similar Pokemon, so even if there is no Eeveelution, I hope there's some kind of new canine family Pokemon.

J-Money808 May 25th, 2016 3:18 AM

If they introduce a new Eeee type, it should be poison to counter attack Sylveon, similar to how they did with Umbreon/Espeon(while also showcasing the new Dark type at the time) and Leafeon/Glaceon

Like you, I feel we may skip a new Eeveelution this generation but I wouldn't mind a Steel and Poison Eeveelution either like you said, or maybe even Dragon. I hope we do get one of every type eventually, even if they space it out.

Hedo May 25th, 2016 8:31 AM

Even though I almost never use Eevee in any of my teams, I always like seeing a new Eevee type. So sure, why not? But I'm probably not gonnabe sad if they decide to wait another gen to make a new one.

burgzzzz May 25th, 2016 7:02 PM

I can't see them making a new Eeveelution purely because there aren't any types that remain that would make sense for the region except for maybe poison. So perhaps we will get Toxeon? I think it's more likely that Espeon and Umbreon will get megas but thats just based on the whole Sun & Moon thing.

morrison May 26th, 2016 10:09 AM

there should be an eeveelution for every type. hurdur

Migit78 May 26th, 2016 9:00 PM

I vote yes for more eeveelutions, theyre my faviourite pokemon
as for Mega Evo, i want it to go directly to Eevee just think thatd be a cool feature

Desert Stream~ May 27th, 2016 3:20 AM

I want megas and more eeveelutions. Can't have enough ;)

I'm not sure why people really thing the region matters in terms of what Eevees can be created. No, there aren't many remaining types that scream "tropical", but how many types do (even out of the ones Eevee has already used)? If anything I can see Bug being quite fitting. Overall no matter what the region, there are rocks present, there are metals present, there are bugs, there are dragons, there are ghosts (they might not fit the happy theme of Alola but they will still exist), and I could probably list every type really.

Overall the least likely type is probably Poison (as much as I wish that wasn't true), because they'll likely want to push the clean and beautiful nature of Alola's environment, and a Poison-type Eevee would likely be associated with unclean environments (gen 5 was really a missed opportunity here). Most likely types in my head are Bug and... let's say Rock. I have a random feeling about that.

In terms of the chances of there being an Eeveelution in general, I'm pessimistic because of patterns but hopeful despite that. They already broke one Eevee pattern last gen, so the second might be next to fall. And in terms of "There are enough now", I don't imagine they subscribe to that. Sylveon was extremely well-received.

As you said Gen VI broke the two eeveelution per even gen pattern we thought they had going on after II and IV. Hopefully we'll get at least one to break the no eeveelution in odd gens other than I. Hopefully the much wanted Dragon to form a pair with Gen VI's Sylveon. Since Sylveon had night artwork irc, then perhaps Draconiceon will have it fighting at day against Dragonite (opposed to Hydreigon).

It's interesting we've had Eeveelutions introduced in every even-numbered generation, while the odd-numbered generations other than 1st Gen had no Eeveelutions. While part of me thinks the pattern will repeat and we won't get another Eeveelution, I also would be open to see the pattern broken and we get new Eeveelutions this generation.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire May 27th, 2016 11:28 AM

I'll be happy so long as we get a Dragon eeveelution before Gen IX.
