Eevee

Eevee, known in Japan as Eievui (イーブイ, Ībui, meaning "evolve"), is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. Created by Ken Sugimori, Eevee first appeared in the video games Pokémon Red and Blue. They have later appeared in various merchandise, spinoff titles and animated and printed adaptations of the franchise.

Known as the Evolution Pokémon in the games, Eevee is a rabbit-eared fennec-like Pokémon with an unstable genetic code, which allows it to evolve into eight different Pokémon depending on the situation, which have been termed Eeveelutions. The first three of these evolutions, Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon, are the result of Eevee being exposed to either a Water Stone, a Thunderstone, or a Fire Stone respectively. Various evolutions have been introduced in Pokémon games since, including Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon and Sylveon.

Conception and creation

The design and art for Eevee and its evolutions were provided by Japanese video game designer and illustrator Ken Sugimori, a friend of the Pokémon franchises' creator, Satoshi Tajiri. In the original Japanese games, the Pokémon was known by its name Eievui, a name which has similar prefixes to its current English name. However, before the English versions of the games were released, Eevee was originally going to be named Eon rather than Eevee. It was renamed to "Eevee" shortly before the English releases of Pokémon Red and Blue.

List of Pokémon (102–151)

The Pokémon (ポケモン, Pokemon) franchise has 721 (as of the release of Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire) distinctive fictional species classified as the titular Pokémon. This is a selected listing of 49 of the Pokémon species, originally found in the Red and Green versions, arranged as they are in the main game series' National Pokédex.

Exeggcute

Exeggcute (タマタマ, Tamatama), known as the Egg Pokémon, is a single Pokémon with six separate seed bodies (often mistaken for eggs, according to the Pokémon episode, "March of the Exeggutor Squad"). Exeggcute's name is a play on the word "execute". Tamatama could be taken to mean 偶然, unexpectedly, although it is more likely to be derived from 玉 tama, sphere, doubled. It is worth noting that the Japanese word for egg is 卵 tamago. They use telepathic signals only they can receive to remain in their balanced formation; even if one is separated, it will quickly rejoin its swarm. Each member of the swarm has a different appearance in number of cracks, deformations, personalities and facial expressions. Some Exeggcute can have such severe cracking and breakage that a yolk can be seen inside. The middle body often has the fewest or no cracks at all, and is assumed to be the boss of the group.

Eevee (band)

Eevee is a 4-piece band from Davao City, Philippines. They emerged as champions of the Nescafe 3 in 1 Soundskool in 2009. Part of the prize of the contest was a record deal with Sony Music. They since relocated to Manila after winning. It is unknown if the band is named after the Pokémon Eevee.

In June 2010, they released their debut album Paramdam with "Gusto Ko Lang Ng Girlfriend" as the first single. The song peaked at #12 on the OPM MYX Countdown. Its music video, directed by Gino Jose, featured the then MYX VJ Janine Ramirez. The album was produced by ex-Eraserheads bassist and now The Dawn bassist Buddy Zabala, and Sancho Sanchez.
