back when i was playing red, i loved my eevee. so much so that i could never bring myself to evolve it. fire eevee, electric chihuahua, or retarded fish squirrel never really appealed to me. at all. so i kept it an eevee.
when i got gold, i was thrilled when bill gave me an eevee. i figured i'd keep it like that. one night while working towards mahogany town, my eevee started evolving. i was too surprised to stop it, but that's alright, cause i absolutely loved what it turned into. since then umbreon has been my favorite pokemon, and been in my party whenever it was available.
i was young and stupid, and didn't know the kimono girls used eevolutions exclusively.
