Eevee is one of the most popular Pokémon in the franchise. Between it and its eight evolutions (or “Eeveelutions”), there’s plenty to love– the designs, the versatility, the ability in battle. The franchise didn’t initially recognize the Eevee line’s potential for long-term success. Now that it does, it presents them as mascots on par with Pikachu, Charizard, Lucario, and Mewtwo.Eevee’s popularity has even earned it a national holiday. In Japan, people recognize Nov. 21 as Eevee Day (because 1121 can be read as Eeevee’s name). This idea for a holiday was proposed in 2018 and has been celebrated ever since. This day, and the days surrounding it, are devoted to the love and appreciation of the Evolution Pokémon. It also means the franchise will likely showcase plenty of merchandise and perform various advertising campaigns to celebrate the holiday. So far, 2023’s love for Eevee can be seen in several video games, both core series and spin-offs. The anime isn’t doing anything for Eevee this year, but it could only be a matter of time. Eevee took a long time to reach this level of popularity, but the fans’ strong desires and the franchise’s willingness to oblige them have paid off.When Pokémon was in its early years, nobody knew how popular Eevee would become. It wasn’t represented much more than the other 150 Pokémon at the time. Even when the anime started, most of the advertising and merchandise was centered around a handful of Pokémon, especially those owned by Team Rocket and Ash and Co. (Pikachu, the starters, Psyduck, Vulpix, Meowth, etc.). Meanwhile, Eevee and its brethren were relegated to Pokémon of the week without any unique involvement in Ash’s journey.RELATED: A Festive Pokémon TCG Pop-Up Could be Landing in Your City
