They seem to be just like the legendary dogs.
Ironically Entei, the fire one, is also considered worst of the three.

He was my favorite too until Leafeon appeared.
I remember wanting to use one in Blue but he barely learned any fire moves. That hurt.
I picked Leafeon because it was grass type, and grass type is my favorite type, but I think it's a little too plain. Although, Glaceon is kind of plain too. Good Pokemon, just not in my favorites for Eevees.
This week's anime episode was a gym battle so I don't have much to say about it, except:
Skyla continues to have massive hands,
the evolution animation in Black and White continues to be awesome,
and female Unfezant continues to be the most boring looking flying type. Also it was pretty lame how Ash kept hyping up Unfezant's new move and then it turned out to just be Aerial Ace.

They changed the way Pokemon data was handled so it was no longer compatible the way the old games did it.

Wow. This is why ignore exists.

It seems like that's an issue with quite a few of the Eveevolutions, just a bit too plain. It seems like Game Freak could have been a bit more creative with them (Shoot, Flareon doesn't look all that different from Eevee). Why go to the trouble of having such a versatile Pokemon when the movelists aren't that hot and the evolutions don't deviate a whole lot from the first form. Then again, I really think I'm just whining.

I love its design, but Leafeon's name bothers me greatly for this very reason. It's *so* obvious and unimaginative. It's not even a pun or portmanteau or other kind of play on words, just two words tacked together in a literal plain statement of what it is (Golem is another offender). Literally the first thing anyone can come up with, whereas when they think the names through a bit more they often come up with brilliant finds (e.g. Umbreon). In this case even something simple like Floreon or Foleon (from foliage) would have been miles better. The former is perhaps a bit too similar to Flareon, but they'd make a cute duo so I don't mind.
Vapoeron has an equally shitty movepool, but it's good at what that movepool does. Espeon and Jolteon likewise, although you could say Espeon has the widest movepool thanks to its Psychic typing. Whereas Leafeon, Umbreon and Flareon are just laughable and Glaceon is let down more by its speed and type than movepool.
both jolteon and espeon need an hidden power to be good, it's not necessary on vappy :\
Doesn't mean their movepools are any more (or in most cases less) shitty though. And in Espeon's case, it can actually run four legitimate sets in OU where Vaporeon can run two at most (Hydration abuse in Rain, and Wish support). Espeon uses HP Fighting to gain almost perfect coverage, where Vappy runs mono sets a lot, or Ice Beam for a secondary attack leaving it with 'poor coverage'.
If Espeon is let down by anything, it's by Psychic typing and where Vaporeon benefits from being one of the best mono-types (and loves that Rain). But not really arguing about viability more as move pool.

Are you going to evolve it? Shiny Coffy looks pretty cool as well.

I love this guy. Receiving (BW2 move pool spoilers?

I think Yamask looks cooler in general, but yeah, I'll probably evolve it, and love it forever.

The way he walked in the anime (on his hands while lying on his back) was so delightfully horrific and creepy. Like something straight out of The Ring or The Exorcist. It reminded me of this:

That's nothing compared to how I felt when I saw that
Charizard V.S. Articuno episode when I thought that his Charizard was going to use Blast Burn.

B/W save the shiny sprite of any shinies you've caught in the Pokedex, so you can still look at it even after it has evolved. Pretty neat.

is it because she's a creep bird?
that's why Elesa > Skyla

Cilan is the best Elesa.
You could make the case that since there is a BW2 spoiler moratorium in effect that would also cover the BW2 arc of the anime which I would totally be for, but that is down to dear leader Andrex.
Aside from that you can post shots from the anime as long as you don't get creepy about them.
No need to google anything with me here!
Long hair master race. Should we dedicate every day to a different girl? How do we want to do this?

If we can't post BW2 spoilers here, same should go for the anime, just to be fair to those who care about it.

I hope Zoroark replaces Lucario in that.
And that PKMN Trainer returns, but with different Pokemon (perhaps Oshawott/Servine/Emboar?).
ugh... good luck... you need it :/
