    So, I've been considering doing something like this for a while. Basically, I'm gonna run a little bit of a game between a few pokémon with similarities (like they are different evolutions of the same base pokémon, or you have to choose between one or the other in a game).

    So without further ado, the first competition is a big one between a big poké-family: The Eeveelutions.

    I'm not saying I would sleep with a cartoon dog, but Umbreon.

    For me it's always been about the Flareon. I mean sure, it'll basically never be competitive with that high attack and then nothing to take advantage of it, but damn it it's been the one for me since my game of Red. My least liked of them all is between Sylveon, Leafeon, and Glaceon. Umbreon can be a pain in the arse to take down at times, but I still kinda like it. Those three though, screw them man!

    Jolteon was my favorite but since X and Y Sylveon has overtaken it, I do love the new Flareon too though, looks awesome with that crazy tail.

    Ever seen shiny Flareon? It looks kinda like a bigger, fluffier Eevee :D

    In terms of using them, Magic Bounce Espeon would be my favourite, Jolteon (with HP Ice) would be my second. Third place would be a toss up between Umbreon and Leafeon. Umbreon is awesome at it's job but I don't enjoy battling defensively - so Leafeon in the sun might take preference!

    Looks wise would probably be Jolteon or if shiny - Umbreon!

    Umbreon, Leafeon and Sylveon for me. They tend to be the Eeveelutions I use the most

    Since Gen 6 I've been swayed into using Sylveon and I think it's overtaken Vaporeon as my favourite now!

    I used to swear by Vaporeon and evolve my Eevee into one every time in the earlier games. Flareon was built terribly, I would already have an electric type on my team usually so Jolteon was no use to me, and seemingly whenever I'd try and evolve an Umbreon or Espeon as a kid I'd always screw up the time of day it'd evolve and I'd get the opposite of the one I wanted I gave up trying.

    Playing through Alpha Sapphire with a Leafeon in my party currently so maybe it'll change again.

    Poll added! Considering what I'll do for my next one, I'm thinking maybe fossils, but splitting it up on a gen by gen basis.

    Anybody who chose any option other than Umbreon is wrong and should feel very bad about themselves.

    I was torn between Vaporeon and Glaceon...

    In the end had to go with Glaceon, for some reason I just love it's design and for me design means a lot in the pokemon I like.
