Pokemon Unite Producer Wants To See Entire Teams Of Only Eeveelutions Someday

thegamer.com:

In a 30-minute roundtable interview at The Pokemon World Championships, Pokemon Unite Producer Masaaki Hoshino was unsurprisingly tight-lipped about future plans for the game. The Producer, whose career spans across three decades of fighting games including Pokken Tournament DX, shared his excitement for the future of Unite without giving away what exactly players should expect. Beyond the new map, Theia Sky Stadium, which was revealed during the opening ceremony of the tournament, Hoshino only offered one hint about the future Unite Licenses players can look forward to. Evidently, Glaceon might not be the last Eeveelution Unite License we see.

“I personally want to see all Eevee teams,” Hoshino says via his translator. “That’s something we need to think about, yeah.”

Currently, there are three playable Eeveelutions in Pokemon Unite. Sylveon was the first available, joining the roster last October shortly after the launch of the mobile version of Unite. At the time, its inclusion seemingly dashed the hopes of those that wanted to play as different versions of Eevee, as it was assumed that multiple Eevees would make the early game too confusing. In May, Espeon was added to the game, along with a new icon on Eevee that denotes which Pokemon it will evolve into. A third Eeveelution, Glaceon, joined the roster just two months later in July. Both Espeon and Glaceon were made available for free as part of an in-game promotion.

While it was originally assumed that Sylveon would be the only Eeveelution, this fast tracking of new Eevees is an indication to some that Unite developers intend to add all eight Eeveelutions to the game.
