Yup, Eevee will be joining Pikachu on a PokéBall themed sled for their journey around New York!

Whether it’s an exciting new entry in a series long established or a weird experiment meant only for the dedicated, Tom is eager to report on it. Rest assured, if Nintendo ever announces Elite Beat Agents 2, he’ll be there.
