(1) Ninfia's English Name: Sylveon [2/14]

IMO if they had 2 again, they'd have shown both already.

Instead of having the short movie ABOUT EEVEELUTIONS have only the 9 symbols in its title, and presenting eeveelutions with the revealed Sylveon on the XY page like a new complete set.

Or I just like it how they make a nice square when put around Eevee, lol.
 
With all the light type and all, they should balance it out with the heavy type.

"Introducing regular type, which is not the same as normal type."
 
Well, when you think about it though, they do this same thing with all of their current movies. They release a title and the star Pokemon. Then they release the full title and second surprise star Pokemon. So really, you never know, they could surprise us and if they do, I'm prepared for it.

As for Sylveon being Normal/Flying, I wonder that if this is true, would they consider it two eeveelutions in one? For example, say they make an eeveelution for every type (which I doubt, but it would be pretty cool), would they exclude Normal since Sylveon is both? I have a feeling they probably would, which would be a little disappointing. I hope it does turn out to be pure flying, as in one of the posts stated before, its based around a mythical creature like Thundurus and not just a bird.

As far as Sylveon being the odd one out of the other eeveelutions, it may just seem that way now. Im not ready to stick to this saying just yet until the type is released. For all we know, GF really could release a new type this gen and Sylveon could be the exact definition of it as all other eeveelutions are to their types. When you think about it though, Sylveon also kind of looks like the exact definition of a non-bird Normal/Flying as well.

I know some people are saying that the type chart is perfect and there is no need for a new type at all, and there probably isn't. But theres no harm in squeezing a new one in to buff or nerf a few of the already existing types, it could just change things up a bit. Its not like anything will be ruined, a new gen means a new competitive battle start anyway what with new moves, Pokemon, items, and strategies.
 
A new type can add just as much imbalance as balance, it is in no way necessary to add one to fix anything, its easier to just tweak the current type chart...but they didn't even do that for the past 5 generations.
 
After all of this discussion, I'm still sticking with Sylveon being pure Flying. It was the first thing that occurred to me and nothing has managed to make me think otherwise. But I guess we'll never know until they tell us.
 
Why would they keep it a secret, suspense? I'm going with new type, but your'e right, well never know until they tell us.
 
I really do hope it's pure Flying if not a new type like Light. Im sure that they would try to balance it out as much as they could if they were to add in a new type, to at least not piss off the battlers. A new type would bring in a lot of hype though even from people who aren't that into Pokemon, so thats why I can see them doing it.

Oh hey... I just remembered that Virgils Eevee in Team Eevee in the anime is his only female.. wonder if its a hint to what it might evolve into.
 
Light has been mentioned time and time again, and I think that if it actually will happen it will start with Sylveon. They've been so secretive about the type. While I still think Flying is the most likely, Light seems the most likely it's ever been. Although that's not saying a whole lot.

Then why are Yvetal and Xerneas' types being hidden? Yvetal is easily a combination of Dark, Dragon and Flying. Xerneas is a little harder but doesn't look like anything new (Steel, Grass, Psychic, Normal are all candidates for its type anyway).
I do agree that it is probably Flying though.

(Sylveon is a dumb name IMO)

And not with Ampharos....Volbeat/Illumise...Reshiram...because?

If they thought Light was viable, they would have added it long ago.

Okay, true. That's a very valid point. But at that point they didn't act so secretive about the type. Although I'm not saying just Light in particular but any new type.

I also would bet that another Eeveelution will be released in Gen 6, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was a masculine-looking one. Maybe Fighting type? Who knows. But I believe this because in Generations 2 and 4 two Eeveeltutions were released. I see no reason for them to interrupt this tradition. But since it's Pokemon, all bets are off. You never know.

Just to add on: in generation 2: darkness beats psychic. In generation 4: ice beats grass. In generation6: maybe flying beats fighting? Or rock beats flying? That is how I look at it.

I believe 2 eeveelutions will come: Fighting or Rock and Flying.

Hm, never really thought of that. I personally like the idea of a Rock type.
 
I find it really really hard to believe that they would make such a big deal about releasing one new eeveelution and completely ignore a potential second. What would be the point of doing that?

Yes whenever they want to add 2 eeveelutions, they choose what their types in such a way that one is weak to the other.

Not.

How could you seriously think that?

..

They used Psy and Dark because they wanted those two types, no matter what their match up was. They would have used those two either way, I assure you, the type match-up had no relevance there.

They used Ice and Grass because those were the 2 left obvious elemental choices they didn't make yet, not because Ice>Grass.
 
Speaking of Light type: No way, for a variety of reasons:

Light as a counterpart of Dark? Reduntant, as Dark already has two counterparts Psychic and Fighting. Each of these types reflects a different strategy of battling: using physical powers or martial arts, using supernatural or mental powers and using sneaky strategies, respectively. (Also shown by their strengths and weaknesses in the type chart)

Summarizing the arguments I heard from Light type supporters, Light would be a mixture of already existing types (Psychic, fairy-like Normal Pokemon, Electric) and attacks (Fire, Grass, Bug, Steel, Normal, Psychic).
Thus Light type wouldn't add something new to the game but leading to total chaos. And as GameFreak seems to place enormous value on constancy (just regarding how new evolutions of old Pokemon can only be obtained by new evolution mechanics or items), they would never be that stupid to break with this tradition.

At this point a Light type would be totally redundant and random.

There are about 8 months to go till X&Y will be released. Flooding the fans with tons of news right now would be contra-productive. IMO, making two big deals about new Eeveelutions instead of one might be a way to stretch the hype.

Because I believe something different then you do? How can you know that it was because they wanted to that they picked psy and dark? Any proofs? No need to be harsh against other because they got another opinion then you do.

And I just decided to go really in-depth with this to maybe make up some new questions or answers for that matter.
 
Yeah, I don't think the eeveelution type effectiveness thing is just a coincidence in my opinion.
