Between the drawing and just the description, this took FOREVER!! At LEAST five times as long as the original version! And that is why this one is a scrap.
And looking at the comments, it gives me hope that the other one is as popular as it is because people like my ideas, not my portrayals of the original pokemon.
By the way, I am SO PROUD of this! I love how it turned out! I especially am happy with how Eevee, Flareon, Vaporeon, Terreon, Mercureon, Kocheon, Obliveon, and Beryleon came out. Which is...a lot of them. But! I say that because I don't dislike how the others came out! My MOST favourite drawing has to be Terreon or Obliveon.
And as a side note....no, I don't know Japanese. So I tried my best. I did better than lat time though (I think)!
----- ORIGINALS -----
EEVEE - Japanese name: Ibui ("Eievui") The Evolution Pokemon TYPE: Normal EVOLUTION: n/a INFO: Eevee has an unstable genetic makeup that suddenly mutates due to the environment in which it lives. Radiation from various stones causes this Pokémon to evolve. (Ruby/Sapphire) ORGIN: Eevee's name is a pronunciation of E-V, the first two letters in the word Evolution. Eevee was originally going to be called "Eon," the suffix of all the evolutions of Eevee, which probably is a shortening of "evolution". Eon also means a very long time, which is how long it takes for Eevee to evolve without the aid of an evolutionary stone.
-----
FLAREON - Japanese name: Busuta ("Booster") The Flame Pokemon TYPE: Fire EVOLUTION: Fire Stone INFO: Flareon's fluffy fur has a functional purpose - it releases heat into the air so that its body does not get excessively hot. This Pokémon's body temperature can rise to a maximum of 1,650 degrees F. ORGIN: It has traits of foxes, dogs, rabbits, and cats. Flareon's name is derived from flare. Eon is Eevee's proto-type name, in which Flareon evolves from. Its Japanese name may refer to rocket boosters, which propel things by combustion of fuel.
-----
JOLTEON - Japanese name: Sandasu ("Thunders") The Lightning Pokemon TYPE: Electric EVOLUTION: Thunder Stone INFO: Jolteon's cells generate a low level of electricity. This power is amplified by the static electricity of its fur, enabling the Pokémon to drop thunderbolts. The bristling fur is made of electrically charged needles. ORGIN:It has traits of foxes, porcupines, dogs, and cats. Jolteon's name is a corruption of jolt. Its Japanese name is a corruption of thunder. Eon was Eevee's proto-type name, which Jolteon evolves from.
-----
VAPOREON - Japanese name: Shawazu ("Showers") The Bubble-Jet Pokemon TYPE: Water EVOLUTION: Water Stone INFO: Vaporeon underwent a spontaneous mutation and grew fins and gills that allow it to live underwater. This Pokémon has the ability to freely control water. ORGIN:
-----
ESPEON - Japanese name: Efi ("Eifie") The Sun Pokemon TYPE: Psychic EVOLUTION: Happiness (Day) or Sun Shard INFO: Espeon is extremely loyal to any trainer it considers to be worthy. It is said that this Pokémon developed its precognitive powers to protect its trainer from harm. ORGIN: It appears to be based on legend of the nekomata, also known as bake-neko. Nekomata are mysterious two-tailed goblin cats. Espeon's name is derived from ESP, or extra-sensory perception, a branch of psychic abilities. -eon is the suffix common to all of Eevee's evolutions. Espeon's Japanese name is probably derived from the fact that its forked tail looks similar to a capital letter "F".
-----
UMBREON - Japanese name: Burakki ("Blacky") The Moonlight Pokemon TYPE: Dark EVOLUTION: Happiness (Night) or Moon Shard INFO: Umbreon evolved as a result of exposure to the moon's waves. It hides silently in darkness and waits for its foes to make a move. The rings on its body glow when it leaps to attack. ORGIN: Umbreon's name is derived from umbra, Latin for shadow and ghost. Eon was Eevee's prototype name, the Pokémon in which Umbreon evolves from. Its Japanese name may simply refer to the color of its coat.
-----
GLACEON - Japanese name: Gureishia ("Glacia") The Fresh Snow Pokemon TYPE: Ice EVOLUTION: Level up on route 217 INFO: As a protective technique, it can completely freeze its fur to make its hairs stand like needles. ORGIN: Like most Eeveelutions, it has traits of foxes, dogs, and cats. Its name is derived from glacier and eon, the traditional suffix of all Eevee evolutions.
-----
LEAFEON - Japanese name: Rifia ("Leafia") The Verdant Pokemon TYPE: Grass EVOLUTION: Level up in Eterna Forest INFO: Just like a plant, it uses photosynthesis. As a result, it is always enveloped in clean air. ORGIN:Like most Eeveelutions, it has traits of foxes, dogs, and cats. It also has traits of plants. Its name is derived from leaf. It also has the "eon" part, like all Eeveelutions.

LAWD! That took forever! Pokemon, Eevee, and the Original Eeveelutions (c) Satoshi Tajiri
[EDIT: Kocheon looks more...dog-ish now. And better, in my opinion. ^^]
I've always wondered what Eevee evolutions would look like if they could have all the different Pokemon types. I particularly like the Litheon and the Kocheon. :3
