Give me totodile next! 😎
Umbreon or Jolteon have to be my favorite évolutions for eevee
I love this so much, it’s always so fascinating to see which animals the Pokemon are similar to. Eevee was always one of my favourites on account of it being so fluffy, I never realised how similar it was to Darwin’s finches in terms of how adaptable it is. Can’t wait for more 💛
This was such a fun video! Vaporeon is my favorite. 🙂
Great video! I love the detailed information and the comparisons to real life <3
I cannot tell you how long it's been since I've held one of the original cards. You've just given me a throwback and might have to search Ebay for some now 😂 Genuinely love this video series idea! Keep up the good work 😀
That Maui cameo stole my heart. 💜 Really cool way to discuss adaptive radiation!!
Eevee so cute!! hahah your vids are always so entertaining 🙂
