WORD OF THE DAY! 2/12/13!

eveelution [ee-vee-loo-shun]
noun
1. The nickname for any of the 7 (going on 8) evolutions of the Generation 1 Pokemon Evee. The evolutions of Evee (pictured below sitting on top of the Flareon's head) as of the release of Pokemon Black & White 2 (pictured below) are Flareon (Middle-fron, Fire type), Vaporeon (left of Flareon, Water type), Jolteon (right of Flareon, Electric type), Espeon (left of Vaporeon, Psychic type), Umbreon (right of Jolteon, Dark type), Leafeon (left of Espeon, Grass type), and Glaceon (right of Umbreon, Ice type).

As of a recent article in Cocoro, a 8th evolution has been announced, pictured at the top of the article with the Japanese name of Ninfia-- the English name and the typing/details are all still a mystery but it is set to have a cameo in the upcoming Japanese Pokemon movie. Rumors and hopes are high that this will be a Light type Pokemon, but normal typing also would seem very likely. As for my feelings on the design, I am afraid I find it lackluster.
