Yeah the eyes are also in similar style to leafeons actually. Kinda dissapointed umbreon was left out of the promo art of all the eeveelutions unless its wedged in that dark shadow where the page goes into the book.

Yeah that's how I expect realistically is the best amount. Trio cover legendary, the thematic, all catchable trio legendary, Event Cute Pokemon, Event non-Cute Pokemon.
What you are defining is nostalgia.
Yes please!
Umbreon is there, right under Flareon. Its face is a bit cut off, though.

I always knew Glaceon was a slut. Look at the wink.

Approaching zero but never quite reaching it.
Me too. Pokemon I like the first time I see it almost never end up being my favourites.
I like the design but not enough to use it. The bows and wispy things are blah to me. Its still cool though. I was just thinking is it likely that we'll be able to get or obtain every single Pokemon yet in xy? I just wonder because I know its hard work to include animations for a lot of Pokemon. Sorry if this is a stupid Queston but I don't know too much about these games, at least from dp and up.
No Milotic?

Ninfia looks bad, wonder what's its type.
And fuck yeah, Mewtwo. Time to show all these weirdos how the real god of Pokémon rolls. Psystrike motherfuckers.

You know with all the fan art, you know who I want to see draw Pokemon fan art?
Don Bluth.
Actually, everything should be drawn by Don Bluth.

The Eeveelutions' names don't end in "eon" in Japanese.
2 of the other Japanese eveelutions end in "fia" so this will likely be changed to "eon" as well in America.
Saw speculation on reddit that she'd be renamed to Nymbeon like "nymbus" and be flying type. I like that.

It's called teasing. It's for people to get hyped when there's no reason for it.
it's flying type
At the point where I was beating entire OU teams with a single Bidoof (thanks, Species Clause), there was probably something wrong. I'd go back to using my 6-Bidoof team in a heartbeat were Moody to be unbanned.

Ugh. Looks like they should eevaluatee the designs before submitting them.

I like Ninfia. Could do without the bow tie though. I hope we get at least one more Eeveelution this gen and it's a flying type.
Bowties are cool
It is a surprisingly high amount. They don't just go and do it without any care or attention. Pokémon is the second most best selling video-game franchise of all time so they take good care in these.
I am certain there are explanations and reasonings over some of the questionable choices in this design. We'll probably see when the movie trailer comes on Friday
Id buy that in an instant but seeing great designs that were scrapped would hurt.
"That we know of"
I'm talking about every piece of art every idea and every story never implemented

They probably wouldn't do a 'Hystoria' since so many designs get reworked for following generations (Throh, Cubchoo, Shellos). There's some 'beta' artwork around, and we know some things about beta designs (Stunfisk was pure water and blue, Dwebble was originally a fire-type, Petilil was originally a 3-stage family) even if we haven't seen them.
I wouldn't be against such a book. I'm just saying the likeliness of seeing "great designs that were scrapped" is low.
I get kind of weirded out when Pokemon exist wearing items of clothing. From Hitmonchan's skirt to Sawk and Throh's attire. I know Sawk and Throh explain where their clothing comes from, but then they hatch from their eggs like that and...
You know what, Pokemon makes less sense the more you examine it.

these pokes don't seem to follow any kind of naming pattern in japanese. i guess this is a case where the localized name is superior in every way (anyone remembers Freezer, Thunder and Fire? those guys received a godsend in localization too)

Where did all of this get discovered?
After the release of BW, there were various interviews and articles in magazines which revealed the development process, including things like this

Hell no - original Blatios was terrible and it's a good thing the two were defused.
Technically same gen Eeveelution follow pattern (Showers, Thunders, Booster has er, Eifie and Blackie have ie, and Leafia and Glacia have ia), but yeah. Also Thunders is definitely confusing since another mon has the similar sounding Thunder.
Actually, in the case of Shellos and Gastrodon, there are unused back sprites in the gen 3 games. They aren't like the final design, though, and there is only one form.
