Espeon is a top tier Pokémon, it’s one of my all-time favourites. So sleek, refined, and beautiful, how can one not adore Espeon?

Espeon all the way! I was playing a ROM hack and remember the starter Eevee evolved into Espeon. It was soo cool! Also, it's got good speed and amazing special attack. It was also my sister's first shiny evolution when will i get a shiny so we have some memories with it.

False. Jolteon is the true god.

All kidding aside, if I had to choose between the two, I'd pick Umbreon. It may not hit as hard as its Psychic sibling, but it can sure take quite a beating with them monstrous Def & Sp. Def stats. Me likey.

Umbreon since i'm a canine lover as it looks more than a canine than Espeon, Espeon looks too much like a cat (even thought i like cats too now, but canines more, and yeah i know they have fennec ears so they have SOME canine DNA in them), that explains why Espeons are rare in my army of eeveeutions is games (but yeah i named one female Espeon after the HB feline character - Cleocatra)

Also Gallade/Gardevoir/Alakazam works better as an psychic type than Espeon IMHO

y no both

But seriously, I had to vote Espeon because it's a psychic cat, which basically means it's like a IRL cat.

i choose espeon by a hair although realistically i like both equally. umbreon has way better shiny colours, though.

I didn't vote as I literally can't choose between them. If there weren't so many other Pokémon I need to use I think on my next play through of HeartGold I'd use both. In my last three playthroughs in 2013, 2016 and 2017 I used Umbreon, no Eeveelution, and Espeon respectively and I can't pick a favourite out of those saves.
I had a fascination with Espeon from a shiny card I saw when I was younger, so that would maybe be the clincher, the only reason I used Umbreon first was because of the nature of the Eevee.

I'm guessing it and Meowstic would be great friends.
