[PokemonName] doesn't seem to like it!

popup when trying to evolve, Pokémon has back to you and obviously purposely snubs you when you choose the "Play" interaction although they come around real fast after like 3 cycles of turning around and glaring at you

I didn't like it already in Yellow, but it really stings when your partner Pokemon is Eevee, of all things!

As someone whose favorite Pokémon are usually unevolved forms (or just flat out a Pokémon that doesn't evolve), I agree with you anyways. Eevee's whole thing is being able to evolve, so that especially stings.

Although if their game design decision was always going to prioritize Pikachu and Eevee and not let them evolve, I do still find this much funnier and more charming than a simple "can't do that." I am at least happy Eevee got to share "the Pokémon the game arbitrarily chooses for you as most important" status since I'm used to that always always being Pikachu.

Not being able to evolve the Eevee sucked, but they made up for it by giving it a stellar move pool and amping up it's stats. Also, it's just so dapper in that suit and bowler hat...
