Eevee-themed Tamagotchi confirmed for Japanese release

After having its existence leaked earlier this month, it has been confirmed that a Pokemon-Tamagotchi collaboration is happening in the form of special Eevee-themed devices in Japan.

According to Serebii, consumers will be able to purchase this new form of Tamagotchi Nano as of January 26th. Players will raise and take care of Eevee on the device, eventually evolving it into one of its various 8 evolutions, based on the way the Pokemon is treated. On top of this, some Eevee may even come in Team Rocket gear, or as a Ditto clone of Eevee itself.
