Eevee is one of many Pokemon to be found in Pokemon GO. However, it can evolve into one of three creatures: Jolteon, Vaporeon, and Flareon.

Choosing your Eevee evolution is actually rather simple. For Jolteon, simply give your Eevee the nickname Sparky. For Vaporeon, name it Rainer. Choose Pyro to nab Flareon.

Here’s a look at the trick in action:

As for where these nicknames came about, the Eevee Brothers from the original anime were named Rainer, Pyro, Sparky who owned a Vaporeon, Flareon and Jolteon respectively.

We knew that the Super Mario Maker Wii U bundle was on its way out in Japan, but now it’s official. Nintendo’s website confirms that no additional units are being made available. Any stock delivered to retailers will be the last. Once consumers snatch up the final Super Mario Maker packages, that’ll be it for the bundle.

Update: If that wasn’t enough, here’s a video from earlier in the week when people were going nuts in Washington’s Downtown Park (Bellevue) after a Squirtle appeared:

Continuing the insanity that is Pokemon GO, a stampede formed in New York’s Central Park last night when players came across Vaporeon. This isn’t the easiest creature to catch, so when it was detected at around 11 PM, the crowd went into a frenzy.

Again, we’re not going to be posting too many off-beat news posts stemming from Pokemon GO, but things like this are tough to resist. It’s just crazy seeing the types of things happening!

Splatoon’s final Splatfest, which pits Marie and Callie up against each other, isn’t too far off. Nintendo is gearing up for the big event in various ways: like with some printable alternative boxart, for example. We’ve attached both to this post, but they’re also located on the Splatoon Tumblr here.

Update (7/15): Bumped to the top. Pokemon GO is now at the same spot in Italy and Spain. Not Portugal though!

Original (7/14): Let me know if you’ve heard about this kind of story before: Pokemon GO topping the charts. With the game’s arrival in the UK, that’s the situation we’re seeing once again.

Pokemon GO has managed to reach the top spot on iOS in terms of gross revenue. We don’t have an exact time on this, but it apparently rose to the top in just a matter of hours. Can’t say I’m entirely surprised by the success!

Thanks to Jake for the tip.
