Well this hasn't worked out quite the way I had hoped! I think we'll change to two Pokemon being debated to make the teams a bit fairer. :D
New topic: Debate! Which is cuter, Eevee or Shaymin?
vs
Same rules and conditions apply. ^^ Hopefully these two will be a bit more evenly matched!
Team Eevee: AlexOzzyCake, ♪Twiggy♪, Klinklang5, Xeberos
Team Shaymin: Olli97
Now I'd love to go with Eevee as it's just generally awesome in everyway, being super cute as Eevee, but being super awesome by having a lot of different evolutions. Nostalgia is also often one of the things that affect my decisions, but I'm going elsewhere with this decision.
I like Eevee like a lot of other people, and I love all of its evolutions too, but Eevee is getting waaaaay too much love in my opinion. In this case, even with both of the Pokémon being utterly adorable, I still think it would be an unfair match when Eevee is involved, since it's a favourite for so many people. I know it it may be a little unfair to base my choice on how much a Pokémon is liked, but it's not the only thing this is based on.
The first time I got to know about Shaymin I didn't really care for it. The only thing I liked about it was that it was based on a hedgehog, which is one of my favourite animals, but after the 11th movie, my opinions on it changed completely. I began taking more liking to Shaymin after I learned that it had another form, which made it go from cute to awesome, kinda like Eevee, and with its great personality in the movie, I couldn't help but falling for it. The shift between being an utterly cute and adorable little Pokémon that no one could resist the charm of, to changing into its Sky form which did fit more with is personality was something I really liked about it and one of the things that made me choose it over Eevee.
