I have seen pictures of these characters on discord I believe. Also, I am liking the idea that Hinata has a backstory, and I take it it's the same as with the other trainers as well.

What MOVIC and Project Eevee plan to do with this characters is also unclear. Which one is your favorite so far?


My guess is, and it's something I would like to see happen. is that the characters are going to be in a spin off series be it anime, manga, or games. As for who I like the most, I would say it would be the trainer that owns a vaporeon as he looks the cutest out of the bunch ans given his appearance he stands out in a nice, unique way for me.

I've been out of Pokemon since, well, the original craze (we're going on, what, twenty years now?), and I MUST ask:

Why the sudden game-designer push lately for Eevee as the main character? He's already getting equal billing with Pikachu in some places, and they seem to be looking at him as a replacement.
Yes, I played the original Nintendo Red/Blue game, and fans get involved with the evolution, but c'mon, when did he start becoming the Pikachu of the game?

I've translated all the trainers' bios in this twitter thread.

Its because of the new Pokemon games coming out, Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Pokemon Let's Go Eevee. Its a reimagined version of Pokemon Yellow and since they want to do the two versions thing, they needed a pokemon to go with Pikachu. So they choose Eevee and have been pushing him since.

As for Leafeon, I like this one! Just wish the pants were a little more brown, otherwise, very nice.
