Because Pikachu is the undeniable spokesperson for all things Pokémon, he’s received a lot of attention over the years, which is what makes Nintendo’s push to similarly elevate an Eevee to similar heights so refreshing. Even if you aren’t specifically the sort of person that ever went to bat for Eevee and its evolutions, this episode made it obvious that the Eeveelutions were, in a way, the kinds of Pokémon that aspiring trainers would be better partnered with. If only because they became themselves as a direct response to how their trainers interacted with them.
