ANSWER ME! by Whoever

I´m not kidding, I never had a DSi so I don´t know anything about Flipnote. But I see these characters everywhere, they´re all from Flipnote, I don´t know why and its driving me Insaaaane! I asked multiple people and I never got a satisfying answer. Can any of you explain why these exist? Please...?

An eevee? .A. They're dangerous, stay away!

I think these are like weird furries or something.
I'm from Hatena, never made OC in my life like that. Some people call these Chaos, but Chaos are the little thingy that Cream from Sonic has as a pet.

..HypnoPanda..

10 May, 2013, 7:22 pm

yeah just evees actually they just popped up over night on hatena i went wtf when i saw it

..HypnoPanda..

10 May, 2013, 7:24 pm

but all this happened because stupid shiny evee now anyone on hatena with this as an o.c. is "popular" IT MAKES ME SO MAD

Whoever

10 May, 2013, 7:26 pm

Thanks for letting me know :) I think some people who draw these don´t even know where they come from. I asked some people having these OCs and they couldn´t answer why they drew them. I guess it was such an enormous fad that it transcended its original meaning and became "just a Flipnote thing"... I just hope Colors-users don´t come up with similar things :s

Mothersucker81

10 May, 2013, 7:53 pm

originally was shinyeevee's version of chao that seems to have mutated a bit over the years. :P wasnt any paws or fox tails like that or whatever, but yeah, mutated. :l
well luckily colors isnt rampant with this stuff as flipnote, i think flipnote3d will go rampant with this stuff like before though once their service transfers over.

Whoever

10 May, 2013, 8:11 pm

@ComicSucker, Haha, I added the tail because I always assumed they were supposed to be eevees. XP I mean, they are clearly based on the eevee-design and most people who represent themselves with one are named "Adjective Eevee" or something. Additionally, I´ve seen people using this as a basis for other Pokemon-OCs such as eeveelutions or Charmanders (complete with puffy hair) which adds even more to the confusion...

Whoever

10 May, 2013, 8:16 pm

@TCG, @PokeXernas: Aren´t people doing this already? This was the case with all the "Gartoon Girls" and aside from the occasional "TCG style self portait", some people seem to be wanting to draw exclusively in your style. I just hope this doesn´t become too common...

Luckally i dont have any immitatible OC's in my gallery... Oh wait VCT dangit //-

I seen one of the O.C's in Flipnote Hatena, idk why there so talent & popular? : / Seriously, if these will get into Flipnote 3D I will be like "WHAT" like an akward moment!? : O

raptorbricks

10 May, 2013, 8:34 pm

Its a style that just got really popular on Hatena, I tried it for a while, but it dosen't work well for me.

The Awesome Arceus

10 May, 2013, 8:39 pm

Oh man! I don't know! I do know those things they are everywhere! (even though I don't a DSI)

Whoever

10 May, 2013, 8:41 pm

@Linski: I didn´t say it was important, other people got carried away about how much they dislike the design. :) I personally don´t hate it but wouldn´t want it to repeat itself again with another character-design on Colors!3d...

.:Brandon2:.

10 May, 2013, 8:52 pm

ikr they're so popular for some reason

Boolosus Pichu 86

10 May, 2013, 9:05 pm

never got a dsi either e_e

Whoever

10 May, 2013, 9:09 pm

@Phantomunicorn: I´m curious, did you base this design on what you saw on Colors!3d or other sources? :o

recolorme

10 May, 2013, 9:13 pm

Watch all the people in Flipnote be like: "What the heck are up with the cats? Is it some type of Colors! thing?"

Krazy Katt111

10 May, 2013, 10:08 pm

Same here.
My main question was always "What is it??"

Owletumel

10 May, 2013, 10:28 pm

I'll admit i made some characters like that, but I don't use them anymore for originality's sake(I changed one's design and species entirely). I belive they are called "eevees" or "chaos". For some reason they all look like genetic clones.

HEDROVER

10 May, 2013, 10:39 pm

There were 3 stereotypicals kinds of FH people:
These ones, the stick figure ones, and the boo ones.
Ever notice the boo popularity there too?

kirstene

10 May, 2013, 10:42 pm

Okay.. all of you calm down. Alot of people have this sort of character but not all. There are ALOT of characters that are original from hatena that are here. And don't blame "stupid" shinyeevee either. That's not fair to her.And if you think EVERYONE from hstena has this character then you've probably only seen 6 creators from hatena.

Kittilot

10 May, 2013, 10:46 pm

This. This is the MAIN reason I hate ShinyEevee. I hate her animation style and drawing style, really. It's like doing thelastcommando's style. It's kinda stupid. It's not your style, so don't copy her every time.

Whoever

10 May, 2013, 11:03 pm

@kirstene, I didn´t mean to offend anyone, it was just an observation about how common this type of character is and I was genuinely wondering where it came from. I don´t generalize all F.H. users and I don´t think worse of you if you have an OC like this. It was just always a bit odd to me...

Shadow Boy

10 May, 2013, 11:04 pm

I came up with an OC that may fit under the category you're talking about two years ago (yes, I'm a Hatenian), but I never actually knew who "ShinyEevee" was back then nor did I ever thought of my character (SB) being an Eevee. Mine is just supposed to be a mysterious creature, but due to how common these characters are now, it just doesn't look quite original as it used to be. This may be the answer that you're not looking for, but it may explain why I have a character with a similar design to this.

Whoever

10 May, 2013, 11:07 pm

Oh and some people said theyre referred to as chaos sometimes? (Despite being Eevees) Or are they rather called charas then? Because I think I heard that sometimes and I think I know where it comes from..

Mothersucker81

10 May, 2013, 11:11 pm

well actually, just google 'shinyeevee' and it might be either

nintendo123

10 May, 2013, 11:57 pm

yes, there are alot of these. just little chipi animals ^_^. and EVERONE thinks there cute. i just call then chips XD.

Errorz

11 May, 2013, 12:04 am

Oh, I was going to make a joke about these things... Yeah, as you know, it's a thing that started on hatena. Obviously not everyone does this, but popular animators get coppied all the time on hatena. This seems to be the one that came over to Colors pretty quickly though.

Kittilot

11 May, 2013, 12:36 am

I don't hate HER, but I hate her art. That style...it makes me mad.

The animating style makes me gag...Why? I'm studying animation. It looks lazy. You don't need to slide and shake and blur so much!
I just never saw the appeal. I was more a Guitar fan myself. The Epic and Guitar duo made me happy because they were doing some traditional style animation! Mr. Bluth would be pleased indeed, yes.

HEDROVER

11 May, 2013, 12:40 am

^You do NOT even know how much I agree with that. I found the shaking SO. DARN. ANNOYING.

vennex

11 May, 2013, 2:11 am

last time i was on flipnote hatena (which was like 4 years ago XD) i saw them everywhere DX

HALLUFORNAX

11 May, 2013, 2:41 am

i could make a creepy pasta outta this; the man who saw "shiny eevees" everywhere and died, the end.

MistaBeans!

11 May, 2013, 2:42 am

I've been there since near the beginning, and I still have no earthly idea.

HALLUFORNAX

11 May, 2013, 2:43 am

aka; idk XD maybe someone famouse on FH had this animation up and said, "make and join the shiny eevee adventures!" then it reigned for a long time. ect, ect, my guess.

MistaBeans!

11 May, 2013, 2:43 am

Also, I agree HARD with kittilot

MistaBeans!

11 May, 2013, 2:52 am

It's not that it's mainstream, it's just kinda ugly. The hair.. It's so puffy! *cries*

NeonSkies

11 May, 2013, 3:31 am

I have no idea, and it bothers me. I don't want to be typical, but nobody sees anything in original work; hopefully, it'll change.

Latiomany

11 May, 2013, 4:52 am

i seriously dont know man, i have a dsi, i still use it, see these things all the time, and im like "DEN OUDA DEN!!!" lol jk, but i seriously dont know, sorry for not helping

Whoever

11 May, 2013, 10:10 am

@Linski: I didn´t even say I dislike this character design. There´s a reason why its copied to much, it´s easy to draw and looks kinda cool (at least to me). It´s just that they´re everywhere and I had no idea where they came from. I was really more confused about this because I´ve never seen them anywhere else. I don´t mind them but a lot of people seem to. I´ve never been to Flipnote and never saw one of Shiny Eevees animations, so what do I know? :P

Pankake

11 May, 2013, 11:26 am

You know! It is spoussed to be Eevee mixed with a fox! An people like it!

Shadow Boy

11 May, 2013, 1:04 pm

@Whoever
Oh yeah, about the chaos, that's also true.

Shadow Boy

11 May, 2013, 1:05 pm

@Whoever
And I think "chara" is short for character. :P

Zeldabunny

11 May, 2013, 4:51 pm

I honestly don't know.... .-. I think a lot of people have characters like that because they're easy to animate or they're cute or something. Can't give you a good answer for that one, sorry. ^^;

Pikadude342

11 May, 2013, 5:02 pm

Well, I guess SOME people would find the characters"cool", but I just feel that these types of drawings are just thriving for attention, Whoever.

That Cake is a Spy

12 May, 2013, 3:55 am

because a lot of furries are on flipnote i think, and furries that have oc's (which they usually do) sometimes draw in this style

Blockhead

13 May, 2013, 12:49 am

for every flipnot on hatena there are atleast 20 of these things. and i still ask myself: what IS it?

DaKingOfWaffles

13 May, 2013, 4:26 am

Glob I saw so many on hatena, If there are gonna be that many on flipnote studio 3D...I'll do a back flip off a cliff...

BizzyBee

14 May, 2013, 6:13 pm

Yeah, It's like the style people use on hatena, because it's easy to animate with :3 Aaaand of curse I copied this style too.... Everybody personalizes his style it's own way, but it's still similar :3

McWhiteRose

15 May, 2013, 11:16 am

One.

Word.

EEEEEEVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Skitt64

16 May, 2013, 4:51 am

I barely see the distinguishing features on these Eevees when I find them on Flipnote, and the animation style for them was so lame. I like Epic and Guitar's animations, they don't have the laziness of these. The duo does a lot.

Mr.Doodles

19 May, 2013, 6:20 pm

0-0 Sorry, new user. Just felt like posting something here, but have nothing to contribute XP

H_C

19 May, 2013, 9:19 pm

They're Chao. They don't look like it, but many of them are in fact Chao. Some are called Eevees, but from what I remember off of my experience on hatena, they're mostly Chao.
I've personally wondered why none of them had the emote ball on top of their heads.

Mr.Doodles

21 May, 2013, 10:53 pm

Flipnote makes animations, right :/ The easier something is to draw the faster it is to make an animation with it -_- If flipnote isn't what I thought then disregard this, of course :P

17feltpuppets

22 May, 2013, 4:14 pm

eugh these things, they're the reason why I didn't visit hatena often

17feltpuppets

22 May, 2013, 4:17 pm

there's been a recent tidal wave of them coming recently due to the upcoming flipnote 3D & the original flipnote being discontinued

victinistar

31 May, 2013, 11:02 pm

I see these all the time too! XD I saw music videos alot on FH and couldn't even attempt at drawing one with the crack on my internal touch screen. D:

no longer here

01 Jun, 2013, 5:03 pm

OMF I know right! @__@;; ...

wwwarea

06 Jun, 2013, 4:59 pm

It's just a inspired culture thing like everything else TBH.. I like it. And even if it's lazy, doesn't mean it's bad art or bad... Easy art is great for anyone and it works well. Easy or not.. But I guess it's so popular because they do look great to many tbh.

puar3

07 Jun, 2013, 3:28 am

I'm from FH and yes, these guys were really famous OC'S aside from Boos. I'm not much of animal person but yeah these guys were everywhere. Good thing i dont draw like that.

k0zume

09 Jun, 2013, 10:12 am

a really popular person on F.H made a flipnote teaching people how to draw a character like this and I guess everyone tought they were easy to draw and animate

Celeste

13 Jul, 2013, 2:44 pm

I was on flipnotes and there called a eve

chaos*

16 Jul, 2013, 4:42 pm

An eevee/fox :l

User5081

05 Aug, 2013, 1:46 pm

It is a furry of some sort. They were in MVs EVERYWHERE on Flipnote Hatena, along with the backwards hat stickfigures. I suppose it was simple to draw and easy to animate. If you haven't already, ask FleesVeon about this question.

fleesveon

09 Dec, 2013, 9:16 am

;U i knew i would see this from you anytime XD...
oh well, this question is probably like if you asked why most japan users draw anime xD as simple as that
