Eevee debuted in Pokemon Red and Green in Japan in 1996 as a first generation Normal type known for its many evolutions. Its short cries from the games and anime became easy to lift as reaction clips because the voice is distinct even out of context. As Pokemon edits and soundboards grew on social video platforms, an angry sounding Eevee clip found a second life as shorthand for small but furious energy, shared for battles, pet edits and moments when something cute stops being patient.
