no particular endorsement of this art or user, it was just the first thing I found that was both relevant and postable

Also the image in the OP made me think that if you were a Pokemon with a choice in your evolutionary path, that'd be an even bigger problem than just deciding if or when you wanted to evolve. Especially so if you were an Eevee.

hotlinking from FA is very wonky, this one is not working for me either

If I had a dollar for every pokemon furry I've seen, I'd have at least one dollar.

you're already an umbreon, you don't need the soothe bell any more

same, seems like it might be a NA vs. EU thing?

but either way, thanks internet image police for reducing the impact of my cool bandwagon thread, for no reason

[ToastGhost]

Your bandwagon thread isn't cool and you know it.

(jk all bandwagon threads are cool)

Especially the ones about ice-themed pocket monsters and small horses.

Umbreon learns none of those moves by level. It can get Bite and Charm as an Eevee, but Shadow Ball is a TM move and Foul Play is from a move tutor.

in fa's case it might be that some of the cloudfront caching servers don't have the hotlink protection on but others do

even discounting this, what impact does an item that increases friendship with your trainer have when you don't have a trainer to start with

It’s better to be wild and free than to be stuffed in a ball and then made to fight by some dorky kid who has been losing for 21 straight years

The struggle itself towards the Elite Four is enough to fill a trainer’s heart. One must imagine Ash Ketchum happy.

I always imagined 'mons like in the OP lived in something more akin to the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon world, where they were the people and humans were naught but fairy tales. To think of them as being bossed around in the typical monster-trainer relationship is mostly just depressing.

Ash Ketchum is still only 10 years old.

It's been a hell of a long year for him.

That is depressing. Run wild and free and have adventures, Pokémon
