Why couldn't Eevee simply stay adorable? Because Pokédex writers say so, is why! These once-regular Pokémon have since become nightmare fuel -- we can only apologise.

[@RaydeusMX]

Maybe I'm misremembering things, but wasn't Cubone a Kangaskhan after losing their mother?

[@Griffnix]

Outside Xtra Fun fact; way back before I had the games I read a book that had all the pokedex entries for Red and Blue in it and when I got to Eevee's, it quickly became my favorite because of how unique it was. This new entry makes me like it more?

[@Griffnix]

Raydeus that's fan speculation. Game Freak may make nods to some theories but it isn't canon.

came here to say that, I can't believe how uneducated some people are.

[@marybeaird6171]

And if their teeth don't mesh properly they can end up curling under and growing into their lower jaw or brain! Much worse than starving to death. I used to keep pet rats and one of them had the tooth problem so i resorted to having his teeth clipped under anaesthetic every month. It was that or give up on him and have him put down.

[@deathbykonami5487]

@@ariaphoenix2760 pokemon are wild animals, and not pets So pokemon trainers throw caution to the wind when they try to "catch em all"

[@ariaphoenix2760]

Death by Konami Yes, but the fact that it’s called the “Embrace Pokémon” and is evolved when an Eevee reaches a certain level of affection for it’s trainer makes it incredibly unnerving. For a Sylveon to exist, it likely would have had a trainer previously. Meaning that, since the Pokémon wouldn’t have been released into the wild if the trainer died of natural causes, the Sylveon would likely have _strangled it’s previous trainer to death._

[@elementsfanfics3859]

I always thought that when Eevee's face changes to look like its trainer's, its something much simpler and less disturbing than becoming more human-like. I like to think that its more of an eye color and nose/muzzle shape thing. For example, an Eevee with blue eyes and a short muzzle who has a trainer with green eyes and a longer nose would eventually turn into an Eevee with green eyes and a bit of a longer muzzle. Going a bit further, maybe it depends on hair color as well. For example, an Eevee owned by a trainer with black hair starting to gain a bit of a black tinge to its fur.

[@imdoingood]

Please for the love of Gary, tell me it's more subtle than we think..

[@NickKzig]

1. Please tell me there are pictures of various trainers' faces photoshopped onto eevees 2. Toxic graveyard gasses are totally a thing. It can refer to the noxious fumes that corpses release as they decompose, which have even led to the ghost lights in graveyards. some of these gasses produce light (the same light people see in swamps that spread the notion of Will o' The Wisp. So yeah, that's a thing.

[@DreamerDanielsun]

Yep! I thought of gastly is just 100% gases from death and decay.

[@dbseamz]

[@acemcwolf5445]

So Gastly is basically made up of a soul and the gasses from it's rotting corpse...

[@AirahsELL]

The Rattata thing is common among rodents in general. This is part of why beavers gnaw wood. It grinds their teeth to more manageable lengths. Also, Froslass is based off of a yuki-onna, and stealing people away is kind of what they were known to do in Japanese folklore.

Regarding Gastly and gasses escaping a graveyard. Corpses release gas as they decompose; sealed caskets are akin to a time bomb as the gasses continue to build up until the pressure becomes too much and can expel with enough force to knock out the masonry of a crypt.

That dex entry about Rattata is actually true for most real life rodents. That's why for pet hamsters, guinea pigs, rats, mice, rabbits etc you want to give them something they can chew on. In fact they can start to curl either downward and start to grow into the lower jaw of the rodent if they get too long, or they can start curling upward and start to grow into the top of the head area. Rodents need to chew on things.

Actually, I think the Eevee thing is like they have the same look in their eyes. A trainer with a sweet look in their eyes would have a Eevee with a sweet look in their eyes, and a trainer with dead cold eyes would have a Eevee with dead cold eyes.

So, years later we got something else with the Primeape thing. In Generation IX, there is an evolution for Primeape when you use one of its rage moves enough, and it turns into a Fighting/Ghost type after having literally died mad.

[@darkkitten8186]

Fun fact: Frosslas is based off of Yuki-Onna (The"Ice woman") which is an urban legend

[@Doribi117]

Actually the Yuki-onna is old folk lore, much older then urban legend as urban legend implies urban living, a thing not common in Japan until after the Meiji Restoration while most tales of the Yuki-onna date back far further then that.

[@austinjones5624]

Also, the manner that Snorunt evolves into Froslass is quite chilling as well. In Snorunt's pokedex entry, it is said that it can't survive in very hot temperatures for too long or it dies. Since female Snorunt evolve via dawn stone, a stone that looks like it could be quite hot, and factoring in that Frosslass is a ghost type, it is heavily implied that female snorunt die when evolving into Frosslass. You literally kill Snorunt to make it stronger.

[@lilianagarbea9095]

Ok, so for everyone who got freaked out about the eevee entry, instead of it literally have his face transform into your own, instead imagine your Eevee having the same character and personality as you and maybe can mimic your facial expressions and or patterns, not in a full on transformation, just mimicry. #RATIONALITY

[@princesspikachu3915]

Yup. I thought all Pokemon do that. There was a quote in the Pokemon games (either Gen 1 or Gen 2) where in a trainer battle a lady says "Pokemon often take on the appearance of their trainers. Yours must be strong then." And then there's Ash-Greninja who is so bonded with the "dumb-Ash" that he started to cosplay as his own trainer.

Real life rats can suffer from something similar. Malocclusion is when their teeth don't align for natural grinding. Their teeth can grow right through their poor little faces. My vet had to show me how to clip one of my boys teeth years ago to prevent this.

For anyone interested Froslass is based off of yuki-onna a yokai who was born from the regretful soul of a woman who froze to death on a mountainside.

[@lorenzwinterhoff8049]

Constantly growing teeth isn't just common for Rattata, but all Rats. This is why they chew EVERYTHING, it's necessary to keep their teeth from overgrowth, which can lead their teeth to grow through the top/bottom of their nose and mouth. Rats whose teeth somehow become misaligned can also have their teeth grow through the sides of their nose, and both are quite painful.
