"Game Freak doesn't understand why people love Eevee"

Do you know why most people love Eevee? Eeveelutions, a concept so beloved by fans it has it's own nickname. You could probably start the next World War on favorite Eeveelutions (Sylveon, by the way). It's also fascinating seeing Eeveelutions. It's really interesting seeing how Game Freak designs a Generation 4 or Generation 6 evolution from a Generation 1 Pokemon and still keep it in line with the overall theme.So many people LOVE the Eeveelutions. You see it speculated every time a Generation is about to release , and so many great designs are created by the fans (Champeon, please).That being said, Game Freak has this weird mindset that people only love Eevee. Granted, there are a ton of people that prefer Eevee over it's evolutions, and it's definitely more marketable to just promote Eevee instead of all of it's evolutions. Generation 7 there was no new Eeveelution, and we got a Z-move for Eevee. Cool, I guess. It's nice to see Eevee get some love for it's unevolved form so it can compete with it's older brothers and sisters.Then Pokemon Let's Go Eevee came out. Game Freak promoted the game with Eevee and Pikachu, that's understandable. They're two of the most popular Generation One Pokemon and can easily be comparable. But WHY CAN'T THEY EVOLVE. Do you know how freaking cool of a concept Eevee as a starter is? If your team needs a grass type, bam. Leafeon. If your team has a lack of physical damage, get a Flareon. Need a tank? Umbreon and Sylveon got you covered. It's such an amazing concept that gets completely wasted.And most recently, Sword and Shield. Eevee got a new form where... it got bigger fur, I guess.Do you know how many people WANT new Eeveelutions? Give me a fighting type Champeon, or a cute but deadly Dragon evolution. People love Eevee, but most of the appeal of it is in the fact that it turns into so many different variations. Eevee is great, but seriously, stop. via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/37tyeE3
