Day 4: Favourite Eveelution
Umbreon
Another one of my all time favourites and part of my dream team, and again, another pokemon introduced in Gen2. I think it's knowing that he had to like me to evolve that already made me feel particularly attached to it. The evolution through happiness was a completly new concept in Gold and Silver and since I'm a huge nerd who gets easily attached to little pixels on a Game Boy screen, I was ecstatic. I still remember most of what I had to go through to train my Evee and the daily trips to the hairdresser to max out his happiness. I had loved Umbreon's design while battling the kimono girls in Ecruteak City (still one of my favourite cities) and still remember the surprised happy inhumane noise that came out of me when the game went from day to night the very first time - the pokemon games always come as surprises for me, since when I hear a new one is coming out I never try to find out anything about it; all the more so for Gold and Silver since, being a space cadet when I was younger, I didn't even know they were out. They were a christmas gift for my sister and me: I had one version, she had the other.... UU I think it's evident how many childhood memories I link to this pokemon in particular. Did I mention I'm a nerd?
My very first Umbreon was also the first pokemon I successfully trained to reach lvl. 100. Now I try to train an Evee to become an Umbreon whenever it's possible in the game and name it Shadow in honor of my first and favourite Umbreon (I was an original kid and chose the best names, don'tcha know?).
... I think it's very obvious I'm a huge geek by now, if making a pokemon meme didn't give it away already.
