Because I feel like it would take up waay too much spacel I couldn't write about my relationship with each eeveelution in the ABOUT page (which is already too long) nor do I think it's fitting for the pages that showcase merchandise, I did a little something on this page.
I still really wanted to tell why I love eevees so much I decided to make a section about my love for each and every one here :D
Note that the ABOUT page has the introduction to my collection site. This is an elaborate declaration of my love for the eeveelutions.

Eevee
Eevee strangely used to be my least favourite in the line. Not because I didn't love Eevee but because Vulpix was my baby fox that stole my entire heart and kind of overshadowed poor lil' Eevee. And I also tended to focus more on her magnificent evolutions. But now I absolutely adore Eevee for herself! <3 I watched the art style become cuter and cuter over the years in the anime. With May and her Eevee first and now with Serena and her baby. I must say Eevee has never been cuter or more adorable. (It's impossible to forget Mikey's Eevee however <3)
Well I can no longer distinguish between Eevee and Vulpix. They are both so important to me and Eevee is my precious little baby too now <3
But I do say out of habit that Vaporeon (includes eevee and fam) and Vulpix (includes Ninetales) are my favourite pokemon for simplicities sake.

Vaporeon
Vaporeon is the love of my life <3 She is infact my absolute favourite pokemon in terms of design and spirituality. I just connected with her. I think it's my love for water and aquatic life and especially my favourite animal, dolphins, that makes me appreciate Vaporeon so much. Her fishy features are so cute and quirky and her streamlined body and tail and just so beautiful. So are her collar and ear fins of course :D And her gorgeous dolphin tail <3 I also adore her little "hood" that frames her face <3
For a long time I could never decide which eeveelution was my absolute favourite as I liked them all, but when deciding which evolution to evolve my Eevee in Yellow the choice fell on Vaporeon because I had a Pikachu and a Vulpix already. It was love a first sight <333 She was so incredibly beautiful and so strong too! I really can't stress the beauty of the sprite enough!! :) It's so gorgeous and mystical but also though-looking. She's all "I may look like a pretty mermaid-fox but don't freaking mess with me" I just love her so much in that game ^^ The love continued to grow stronger with each game and she was always my first choice of evolution. I tried using the others in my second playthroughs, but not having a Vaporeon by my side always felt wrong. Yup Vaporeon is my girl! :) I absolutely adore her and I always will. I kind of want to get that tribal Vaporeon design tattood on my back but I'm afraid to regret the desicion of permanently marking myself. I'm just very indecisive when it comes to these things :') I'd love the thought of keeping a Vaporeon with me wherever I go though <3 |
Leafeon
I remember seeing a trophy of two new eeveelutions while playing Smash Bros and immediately needed to find out what these beautiful creatures were. I naturally knew they were eevees and got so excited! (I had taken a long pause from pokemon to try to convice myself I was a "normal" teenager with "normal" interests or something so I played everything BUT pokemon to try to go around my rule lol x) I did however hide a gameboy which to play the main pokemon games on under my pillow :'D) Later when I played SoulSilver I wanted them so much, but needed a Sinnoh game to obtain them. So I went and got Diamond after playing throug SS with Kanto/Johto eevees only - which was a wonderful experience honestly but there were new eeveelutions to cath!!! Oh and I got Diamond Instead of Platinum where eevees are given to you in the beginning of the game to the contrary of Diamond and Pearl, stupid me.... So I played through the entire game with the pure motivation of getting Leafeon and Glaceon and I eventually got my leafy and glaciated eevees bbys <3 I loved these new little 'vees with all my heart in my games. I played so many eeveelution teams. Always keeping these two a part of the team :) Then I started to collect the shiny and new merchandise for these newly discovered pokemon (for me that didn't play D/P) that had to be conquered merchwise!!! But it turned out to be impossible to get all the pieces in one go. Especially at a time with no proxy service/middle man. So I searched high and low for the rarer pieces without much luck for a while, but my struggle and yearnings paid off in the end and I got all my sinnoh eevee bbs ^^ This must be why I appreciate the Leafeon and Glaceon merchandise so much and why the chupa figures are some of the favourite items I own.
For some reason I fell especially hard for Leafeon yet I still absolutely adore Glaceon as well but I think the way she is so connected to nature played an important part for me. Ice shape nature too, but Leafeon was a part living greenery - a symbiosis between a mammal-like pokemon and plants, which was never before seen in the pokemon world! A totally new and strange combination that I managed to make sense of in my biology-centered mind :') (biology is my field of study and soon also work!) I also love how catlike Leafeon's markings and coloration is . So she was a catlike plant fox :') To me Leafeon was special and peaceful and serene and perfect! <3 And she was my second favourite eeveelution for quite a few years before a certain pink fairy 'vee came along... |
Sylveon
Sylveon is my newest love and new favourite ♡ I fell so hard for her :') Some times I feel like I'm way more obsessed about Sylveon than over my original favourite Vaporeon (which for many years I have considered my #1 favourite pokemon) but in the end I compromise by saying they connect to different parts of me ♡ Sylveon to the girly magical side and Vappy to my love and passion for the marine <3 Sylveon has developed into my biggest eeveelution collection however with all the new merch she's getting and I can't help but love collecting this little precious darling as my main eeveelution collection ^^
I think her absolutely gorgeous design and color scheme and how Sylveon represents the feminine and magical fairy type is what's so incredibly appealing to all us girls :') Little fairy Eevee is magical and gorgeous and beautiful and absolutely precious!!! My favourite colors are baby pink and baby blue and I also greatly appreciate the cleanness of white a lot~! Everything about her just appeals to the esthetic side of us I think. Some people find her bows creepy bc of the ability to move them but it only makes sense for a magical fairy to have bows she can control with her magic ^^ Her bows are perfect and beautiful to me~! The way Sylveon uses them to feel their trainers emotions are the most beautiful thing ♡ For instance seeing her connect with and feel the emotions and dreams of Serena in the anime touches me so deeply. I adore Serena and her pokemon so much and for her Eevee baby to evolve into Sylveon was a dream come true and what I always hoped for ^^ I tried to not go Sylveon crazy because I thought the competition was a bit overwhelming due to her being introduced in an economically challenging period for me, but she quickly proved to me that I can't live without her ♡ ^_^ So I completely surrendered to the spell of the adorable and innocent magical little fairy eevee ♡ |
