Also keep in mind that majority of the Eeveelutions look kind of girly anyway. I personally don't see a problem with a Fighting type looking that way.

I don't really care what type Sylveon is seeing as I don't think it's worth getting worked up over a Pokemon's design, but I'll be extra happy if it's not "Fairy" type because I simply don't want them introducing any new types right now.

I don't want any new types at this point either and there most likely won't be any.

But what if it was announced tomorrow that there will be new types in gen 6?
In that case, I'd much rather have a Fairy type than most of the other suggestions Ive seen over the decade..

Gamefreak has been pretty good about not adding useless types. I say lets just shut up about it and let them do what they're already planning to do... It's not like anything we say will change what they're going to do.

I can see how they could be hinting at a Fighting type; let's hold hands and pray to our lord Arceus that it's not a Fighting type.

I'm an atheist. Mew being the ancestor might be just a theory, but at least its a theory...unlike those silly creation myths ;D

Soooo...lets...just wait and see, its already decided anyway.

Sooooo Smash just finished airing, and I missed it. Anything happen?
 
RE: Sylveon's Type to (most likely) be Revealed Next Week

Via Pokejungle.

  • Smash is now LIVE!
  • The anime episode reairing this week is The Punchy Pokémon
  • The next episode has been confirmed as an X & Y special!
  • Anime episode has now finished
  • Back to the weekly feature on Genesect
  • Time for the Eevee Friends feature, this week with Sylveon!
  • The hosts are testing which types Sylveon fits… what could it be?!
  • The hosts tested to see if Sylveon was Fighting – she failed.
  • Next they tested to see if she was Steel – she failed again!
  • Then they tested if she was Poison type. Yet again, she failed!
  • Back to the Genesect feature. Things are getting crazy!
  • We missed a little here but we’re assured nothing important happened.
  • We’re in the studio now for a B2W2 battle, an Eevee Friends Special!
  • Finished! Tune in next week for the Smash X & Y Special!!

Oh well. But it looks like next week will be a big episode. Keep your hopes up!
 
RE: Sylveon's Type to (most likely) be Revealed Next Week

Since they "tried" 3 types, and all of them failed (Steel, Poison, Fighting)...out of the 9 types eeveelutions dont have covered..

I'm guessing that they'll try 3 each week. Say
Next: Bug, Rock, Ghost
Next: Dragon, Flying, Ground

Which would then prolong this stupidity to next months corocoro time (which makes perfect sense, since if it was going to be revealed this month we would have found out by now), after they're confused about it being none of these types, they further promise to find out yet next time.
Then it would finally have a reveal, which would be either Normal or something new (GET ON THE FAIRY HYPE TRAIN ALREADY BEFORE ITS TOO LATE).
 
RE: Sylveon's Type to (most likely) be Revealed Next Week

please don't be fairy

I'm hoping not for a fairy type.

Seems flying to me.
 
RE: Sylveon's Type to (most likely) be Revealed Next Week

Considering that a Sylph is a wind faerie.... maybe faerie/flying? The first dual type eeveelution?
 
RE: Sylveon's Type to (most likely) be Revealed Next Week

So it looks like they'll postpone the Sylveon thing for the special, where they'll reveal what was in Corocoro, and then resume the type testing until next month? Sounds legit.

Haha I mostly want to see the fanbase blow up if there's a new type. Honestly I could care less about Sylveon I just want my legend types out for goodness sake and if a new type reveal will do that then woohoo.
 
RE: Sylveon's Type to (most likely) be Revealed Next Week

Does anyone recall the hype over Reshiram and Zekrom some three years ago? IN fact, near the end of this month, it will have been three years since their reveal.

They were revealed in May of 2010. How long afterward did we know their secondary types were Fire and Electric, respectively? I think not too long after their reveal, seeing as how Shoto-tan, interestingly the one who PLAYS Sylveon, made a mistake and said that Zekrom was a favorite of hers because she loves Electric types. Granted, after she said this online, the statement was quickly removed, but not soon enough to where the fans didn't get a look at it, and Serebii and Pokebeach couldn't cover it.

If I remember correctly, it was only around a few weeks after they were revealed. Whereas for Xerneas and Yveltal, it's been four months, as well as Sylveon, a solid three.
 
Interestingly, the woman who spilled the beans on Zekrom was Shoko-tan, who's doing Sylveon's voice and who was in the Sylveon costume on Smash. I keep hoping she'll slip up again, because she almost certainly knows.
 
She'll say that she loves Sylveon for being Fairy type.

I wouldn't expect someone to slip twice. I would say that the list of Types behind are:

Flying - The most speculated type since its reveal. Fans even compared Sylveon with Skyla! The name is about a wind spirit. Wind. Flying.
Normal - The second most speculated type when it was revealed. It is just too simple for it to pass.
Ghost - Because it has to beNot much, just that more credible that a lot of other types (at least the eyes and Sylph like Sylph Co.).
Dragon - Was also speculated but as Ghost, there isn't much to go on.
Fairy - The most probable right now. After months of speculation, people started to believe that a Fairy type could exist and that there was no reason to hide its type for such a long time. The person who revealed most of the BW Pokedex states that he got information about it and WPM has other news about it.

I would say that:

Fairy 80 %
Normal 10 %
Flying 10 %
Ghost Dragon get the 0 %
All other types share the remaining 0 %
 
You should probably fuse the "fairy" type with any never-before-seen types. There's no guarantee it's going to be called "fairy", but there's nothing to rule it out either
 
Do we remember when Black and White were in the process of leaking Pokemon and all those rough pictures of the Pokemon that are currently existent in Gen V came up, and everybody thought they were all fake?

Yeah. I have a feeling the same thing may happen this go around. Possibly by the one that did it last time. Same goes for the Black and White entries in the Pokedex. Maybe the same thing will happen again. If so, we'll probably see something like this happening in July or August.

SO FAR AWAY TT*TT

She also spilled that Keldeo's forme would be called the Resolution Forme.

Also, to people saying that 'Sylph=air elemental, SYLVEON MUST BE FLYING'.
It's ONLY Sylveon's English name that has something to do with wind/air/anything flying type related. If it was a Flying type, surely its name origins in all languages would relate to it being Flying.
Same with Bug type Sylveon. It's only its Japanese name, Nymphia, that relates to Bugs.
But the only thing that all of its names have in common are Fairies, but that isn't a type (yet).
It also has a fairy-like appearance.
And then its psychedelic sky glowy thingy that it did in the trailer.
You'd think that would be a Psychic ability, or maybe even Ghost. Currently, we have Espeon as a Psychic type Eeveelution, which leaves Ghost. However, Sylveon doesn't look remotely supernatural, and has no ghostly feel that one would expect a Ghost Eeveelution to have.
It could be an illusion that a fairy could conjure up.
Also Sylveon will not be dual type. All Eeveelutions have had one element that they utilise, and a Dual type Eeveelution would just feel odd.
 
I really believe in the Fairy Type. There's just nothing else Sylveon could be. Eeveelutions are the embodiment of their type. It doesn't clearly look like any of the existing types.

And yet, there are some people still trying to say that it is Normal, Flying, or Bug.
Yet there is no evidence to suggest that it is such.

All current Eeveelutions are of Special nature, instead of physical nature. Eevee was suspected to get a dragon type Eeveelution this generation, as it is the only special type left. However, it is very possible that Fairy type is Special. Which, in turn, leaves the possibility for yet another Eeveelution, of the dragon type, to also be introduced this generation, to balance it out.

In every generation, there is at least one that is strong to another.
In the first gen, we saw Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon. V>F, J>V.
Gen 2 brought us Espeon and Umbreon. U>E.
Gen 4 came Leafeon and Glaceon. G>L.
And nao we have Sylveon. Maybe even another, dragon type one. S>D.

It basically goes like this. Vaporeon is strong against Flareon, and weak against Leafeon and Jolteon. Flareon is strong against Glaceon and Leafeon, but weak against Vaporeon. Jolteon is strong against Vaporeon, but currently weak to none of the Eeveelutions. Espeon is weak against Umbreon, but strong against Sylveon, should it be a Fairy type. Umbreon is strong against Espeon, but weak to Sylveon, once again, if the Fairy type is confirmed. Leafeon is strong against Vaporeon, but weak against Flareon and Glaceon. And Glaceon is strong against Leafeon, has little effect on Sylveon, and could possibly be strong against the Dragon type Eeveelution, should it exist.
 
I hope everything about fairy type is true because I'd be so pleased to be able to OHKO a detestably popular eeveelution with my own favorite pokemon, like Garbodor and Swalot, with a well timed sludge bomb or venoshock. Poison needed a boost and making it the main foil of what will surely be an over-popular type is delightful.
