This is the wrong area. This goes to Pokemon General, since it's about Pokemon.
^^;
*moved it already* I have a bad habit of doing that.

But Espeon rules. I <3 psychic Pokmon.

I'll make a proper signature when Pokecommunity gets a proper slogan

Espy and Umbry, in equal measure more or less. I like Espeon because of its elegant appearance, not to mention quite formidable Sp.Attack power which granted me an edge while I was still playing pokmon Silver, and Umbreon on the other hand is still a kick-arse defender with its high Defense and Sp.Defense stats. Plus, I like the appearance of that one too. ^^

Other than that, Flareon and Vaporeon are cool too, and Eevee is cute. Jolteon ain't half bad either...Aww heck, I love all of them! But Umbry and Espy are still my favourites. ^^

I chose Umbreon. n__________n I love the moon and just everything about the nighttime. <33 I often just gaze out my windoe at night and stare up at the moon and the stars, it's so relaxing and peaceful. ^^ So naturally, I'd favor a "Moonlight" Pokemon to any other type. of the Eeveelutions. :33

I adopted a Seel plushie from Suta-raito.com!

Small pichu,
Brave and bold,
It never did as it was told.

He zapped power lines,
ran out of power,
and ran away the next hour.

He fought a beast,
who wanted a feast,
of pichu today.

Pichu has beaten
him.
Hooray!

Small pichu,
Brave and bold,
now it did
What it was told...

For now.


Any comments??

My top most favorite would be Umbreon. There are many reasons for it and I won't bore anyone with the details so I'll just leave it as Umbreon since it's made up of two of my favorite colors and it's a dark type Pokmon.

I do however also enjoy Flareon and Jolteon =3

Hah, I think I'll finally say what I think of each of the eeveelutions (or however you spell that dreadful word =/)...in general, I think they're one of those awful marketing tools of the game that tend to snare the mushy-minded tweens and lovers of clichs and bandwagoners among us. Just another by-product of the older fans passing a dying torch to a generation that doesn't even know what fire is or how to tend to it. The heart and memory are lost and the kiddies gravitate like magpies to anything that shines, no matter how insignificant in reality it is. So it is with Eevee in all its forms.

Eevee: The raw material. Innocent. Inexperienced. Fluffy and vulpine, loyal, usually associated with fields of flowers and butterflies and sunshine. For the overly cheerful and idealistic amongst us. For the kind of people who are obsessed with puppies, things that squeak and coo, or young creatures in general, and therefore only generally over-loved with no specific reason. Eevee isn’t, in a way, specific itself, after all.

Flareon: Tufty with sad puppy-dog eyes, reserved tendencies, looks like a Eukanuba dog dipped in kool-aid. For the sugary pyros among us. I've not much against this one, as it tends to be the least-liked, but it still illicits a fawning reaction from even the most casual Eevee fan.

Jolteon: The bad boy. Very harsh and angular, spiked, raspy, commanding voice, tends to be belligerent; people love him because he's the rebel. A golden retriever who can electrocute things...nothing is more all-American and so threatening at the same time. A contradiction in and of itself, and as the tween Eevee-lovers are mired in the clich chaos-is-order mindset at that age, an equally-clich pokemon is perfect for them.

Vaporeon: Graceful, seen in the eyes of junior-high girls much like they see horses--maternal, protective, free-spirited. The pick of those who never get over the animal infatuation, the pick of those who had Lisa Frank folders in grade school. For any of you who get that it should be self-explanatory. Vaporeon fans tend to be very rabid about their choice...it must be something inherent in the design, only those who know can understand. They want to have Vaporeon's children. They want to BE Vaporeon. Something about the fluidity, something about the serenity, I suppose. Maybe the frill la Sir Walter Raleigh. Beyond that, it remains a mystery.

Espeon: Magenta, slight of frame with arrogant eyes. Still viewed as cuddly for some reason though. Loved more than the others because many fans were introduced to pokemon through GS. They didn’t have the motor skills to play a Game Boy when Red and Blue were new. A favorite of those who find anything cute, consider its detached air elegant, or mistake elegance for cuteness. Not that it is any of the above, but if any of the fans are capable of nostalgia, it’s loved for being their first eeveelution. It is also psychic, which is always a plus in the eyes of eevee fans—the ability to make nondescript flashing lights and purple waves with the mind gives them the same type of stimulation a kitten feels when colored foil streamers are dangled in front of it. It aslo shraers teh saim tipe az mu2 lolz. It’s not profoundly mystic or mysterious, but it’s pretended to be, and that’s why Espeon is loved.

Umbreon: The bane of my existence, personally. Many eevee fans, sometime in their short little lives, learn about the words shadow, darkness, and moonlight, but they can’t get it through their skulls what the word clich means, especially in connection with Umbreon. Tweens and eevee fans who like Umbreon the most love the sugargoth feeling that they get when they think about it. He’s dark, mysterious, supposedly, therefore he’s evillolz. Not evil, evillolz. They’re the kind of kids who feel that even thinking about the color black makes you a dark, profound person, and therefore, based on this wrong supposition, incredibly trendy. They’re the kind that write teen angst poetry for five hours after school each day. Umbreon is the emo pokemon. He’s the manifestation of the “despair” of eevee fans. He represents an emotion that’s been marketed to kids who shouldn’t even pretend to feel it yet, but are brought up on the aforementioned clich terms, and they think they’re the creative type for liking it...as if these words encompass some unexplored area of drama and poetry and the human psyche. They couldn’t be more wrong.

Well...I really have to disagree. The Eeveelutions are and have always been among my favorite pokmon, and not for any 'clich' reasons.

I don't completely disagree with your descriptions; Eevee is very cute, yes. The kind of people who love cute little furry animals will probably like it. What's wrong with that?

Flareon. OK. It's beautiful, doglike. Yes.
Vaporeon...now that was interesting! I happen to be a Lisa Frank fan to this day, and I'm 18. And yes, I do think Vaporeon is beautiful. Graceful, free-spirited--all those good things you mentioned.
Jolteon, my personal favorite. Golden retriever-ish? :D Interesting comparison. "Bad boy"? Well, maybe. But there's nothing clich about it. No more than any other pokmon. Your descriptions sounded to me like you were praising them, 'til you got to the parts about not liking them. :surprised
I'm honestly not a big Espeon fan, but there is something elegant about it, and psychic abilities are very, well, cool. So I'm not surprised that it's well-liked. But again, I see nothing wrong with it.

And Umbreon! Oh, my gosh. First of all...I'm sorry, but I really dislike the overuse of words like emo and goth and all those. Just because somebody writes angsty stuff or poetry they're emo...just because they wear black they're goth...? What exactly do those mean anyway? I'm neither, yet I love Umbreon. Again, I pretty much just find it beautiful. It's supposed to be dark, mysterious, etc...yes. But, so? What is wrong with that? It does it in a completely different way...that is, I can't think of anything else that looks like it, or any Eevee evolution.

I probably didn't explain myself as well as I could've, but I just wanted to let my feeling be known since I adore the Eeveelutions but didn't tell why in my other post. I completely respect your opinions, I was only disagreeing by stating my own..which are totally different.;)
