Hello Bill! I’m going to move to an apartment soon. Due to the building’s code, I’ve had to make the decision to leave my longtime Noivern companion with my family. I was wondering if you had any suggestions for a loyal and friendly Pokémon, maybe even a guard, under 60 pounds (who’d melt a nasty landlord’s heart?) I’ve never owned an Eevee/-lution before — are they a good place to start? I’m also worried about “surprise evolution”, so I’d prefer not to go with anything that becomes too big.

Eevee.

I’ve never owned an Eevee/-lution before — are they a good place to start?

Absolutely.

I’m also worried about “surprise evolution”, so I’d prefer not to go with anything that becomes too big.

Yes, get an eevee. 🙂

Bill. We talked about this. —LH

What? Eevee is a great companion for all your needs! —Bill

And there are an untold number of other pokémon to recommend too. —LH

But it’s cute, fluffy, easy to care for, and doesn’t shed! AND it takes effort to evolve one, so wins all around! —Bill

…fine. But just this once. —LH

🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 —Bill
