Preview Virgil and Eevees

[Silktree]

As much as I would love to see the reveal of a new eon to start off the gen VI jazz, I really don't see it happening. The pokemon wouldn't just show up in the anime without having first been revealed in corocoro, and at the moment we've only really got 1 issue for that to happen in, and that comes out in a week. With this episode airing on corocoro's street release date, I could maybe, just maybe, see something happening with that advertising this whole Eevee thing. If we don't see a new eon in this month's issue, we won't be seeing it in the league.

They can reveal a new evolution in next month's issue and still leave about a month until its TV debut. If the league lasts seven episodes and Ash battles Virgil in the last episode, then the date of that final episode will be January 10th (due to a break in the last week of December). For all we know, the awkwardly placed Axew episode may even lead to the league being extended until January 17th.

But really I just don't feel we're ready for the onslaught of gen VI. Even if it's a case like Gonbe where it's revealed eons (see what I did there) before any other news of the actual games. I don't think we'll just sit with a new eon for a few years. If anything's going to happen with an eon I see it being Satoshi gets the Eevee as some have speculated, and that evolves at some point down the road. Like what happened with Aipom, only with the evolution actually happening before the end of the current generation. It may also just be that I haven't really been paying attention as much this generation so the coming of gen VI at the moment doesn't seem as fitting to me.

I'd say that you haven't been paying attention. Many fans believe that Generation VI will be released next year, and for convincing reasons. The fact that Keldeo, Meloetta and Genesect have all been distributed so close to each other speaks volumes. There is no reason for wrapping everything up (including the Unova League) unless a new generation is on the horizon.

I'm content just to see all the members of that family together. Barring the gen IV ones that I don't really care about, it's nice and nostalgic to be seeing them as a group.

I agree that the Eevee family can be promoted with or without a new evolution. But considering that they didn't do this kind of thing in Generation IV, why are they doing it now? And in the league, no less?

Virgil says that together with his family he made a Pokemon Rescue Team to protect the town.

Boring. I was hoping that Virgil would turn out to have participated in other leagues. It just doesn't make sense that he is tied to his hometown and yet has time to collect badges.

Wonder what happened to Leafeon...

Not sure if I should post this here or just the evolution thread, but it's about the preview so I'll do it here.

That last scene of the preview I could easily see making people think he's giving it away. Just the way he's doing that makes it look like he's saying goodbye. Don't know if I'm behind it, but I'm sure there are people who will. I'm off for a small village in Africa for 3 weeks so I guess I won't be finding out the answer for a while.

We know that is not the case since Virgil is confirmed to enter the league with Eevee included.

 

[Chatsy]

Yeah, if anything I'd say Virgil is just happily declaring to Eevee that they'll be participating in the League Tournament, to which Eevee happily complies.

They're all just SO HAPPY.

Umbreon is my favorite Eeveelution. Didn't expect any less from Iwane, the animation looks top-notch.

Wonder what happened to Leafeon...

Sadly, he's a mute.

For all we know, the awkwardly placed Axew episode may even lead to the league being extended until January 17th.

I hope so. The Leagues only last about 7 or 8 epsiodes and it would suck if one was wasted on filler crap (crap they've crammed down our throat before no less)

 

[Ash&Pikachu-Fan]

I wonder hows its going to work, showcasing Virgil with an Eevee and all Eeveelutions and if maybe he's given an exception to carry more than 6!

 

[p96822]

Pignite get to do something yay

 

[Karamazov]

Pignite get to do something yay

As much as I love Pignite, I really hope it doesn't have a huge role. The little bastard doesn't need so much screentime. Scraggy (though it did lose to Brycen's), Boldore and Krookodile can deal with the Cryogonal, too.

 

[garrison-san]

Cryogonal are much cuter than Eeveelutions. That's all I have to say.

 

[p96822]

I think Pignite is cuter then eeveelution

 

[Araragi-hakase]

Pokabu was cuter than any of the Eeveeloutions :3c

But wow, from the preview, the animation for this looks gorgeous. I hope that all of the Eeveeloutions are showcased one by one a bit in the episode, even for just a few seconds, and it'd be fun if they all had different personalities.

Wieeh, Espeon~

I suspected that Virgil would use Espeon to save Iris and Ash, nice to see it being used. Other than that, looks like a decent episode. I'm curious to how Virgil will be.
