RE: What type is Ninfia???
Mrr? Just one? Poo.
For some reason, Ninfia feels like poison-type to me...I guess due to the name, "Nin" aka Ninja. Though it can be a normal-type but it's so completely different from Eevee.
Edit: After reading other websites, it could represent flying-type too. Hoping it will be the first flying type pokemon without wings!

RE: What type is Ninfia???
Well first of all, let's rule out what types it couldn't be.
It can't be Fire, Water, Electric, Psychic, Dark, Grass, or Ice, those are taken.
It can't be Rock, Ground, Steel, Fighting, or Poison, it's too dainty to be one of those types.
It can't be Ghost because it doesn't look remotely supernatural.
Which leaves Normal, Flying, Bug, and Dragon.
It's probably not Bug, because it doesn't look the part. Pretty much the only reason people are thinking Bug is because its bows resemble butterflies, and that's not a strong enough reason.
It could be Dragon, it's rather royal and majestic looking, but not really draconic (although that doesn't stop Kingdra or Altaria). I'm gonna say this is a long shot.
Normal seems likely, a lot of cute, animal looking Pokemon are normal type, but I would think a Normal type Eeveelution would resemble Eevee more.
And then there's Flying. Flying is possibility, it could be wind themed (which fits the pattern for other Eeveelutions which are based on elements). And the ribbons make it look somewhat aerodynamic.
But there's more, first of all, if you look at the screenshot at the top, it looks like it could be using some sort of wind based attack. Furthermore, its name provides a clue. Ninfia could possibly be translated as Nymphia (meaning its English named could be something along the lines of Nympheon or something). Which would make sense, this thing looks fairy-like in its appearance. Therefore, I think most likely Ninfia is Flying, with Normal being the second most likely. None of the other types really fit it that well based on the information we've been given.

Gyarados, Mantine, Dodrio, Jumpluff, and Drifblim say hi too.

RE: What type is Ninfia???
I'm pretty sure it's normal type. It's the most obvious choice and
@MistahFuji: Like I said on another thread, Normal-type is full of pink pokémon...

RE: What type is Ninfia???
Color is not a legitimate reason to believe this is Normal, they can make certain color Pokemon just about any type they want.

RE: What type is Ninfia???
I say normal or coughcoughlightype, but hopefully normal. Oh just reveal it already. =V
It is OVERLY girly. So many bows and ribbons and I'm not fond of bows and ribbons myself, only Suicune can pull of ribbons and still look somewhat cool. At least Espeon has a cool factor going for it while still being graceful.
And it would be really awesome if there were male and female counterparts to Ninfia, maybe each with different typings? That could be considered the "two" new Eevee evolutions. They did it with Kirlia and Snorunt, so why not Eevee too?

RE: What type is Ninfia???
I want to say it's a normal type, but it doesn't actually look like a normal type. As soon as I saw the design, I quickly wrote down all the types and crossed off which ones it's not. I honestly want to say it's a new type. With that bow tie, I can easily see it being a sound type. Maybe a light type as well? I hope it's something new.

RE: What type is Ninfia???
So Bow tie = sound?
Seems legit.

Uh, why is the speculation still going? Corocoro itself says its typing is the same as Eevee.
They phrase it as a question only to dramatize. You know, like, "could it be....Darth Vader is Luke's Father!?" Phrasing an outright statement as a question is especially common in Japan. The context and wording is intended to be taken that way.

Where in CoroCoro does it ever state this?

And yet stuff like Gyarados, Mantine, and Jumpluff are. The Pokemon that can fly that aren't Flying have two other more interesting types to use instead (Flygon, Hydreigon, etc.)
I can definitely see Ninfia using its ribbons to ride wide currents kind of like Gliscor.

RE: What type is Ninfia???
Could Ninfia possible be dragon? If you remove the bows, it the ribbons look like the whiskers that eastern dragons commonly have. If it is a dragon type, a really hope that the bows are something that is exclusive to just one Ninfia, like the spiky-eared Pichu of HGSS. Also, up to this point, all eeveelutions have been special types, and dragon is the only special type without a eeveelution. Also, I really don't see Ninfia being a flying type. Normal, maybe, but just not flying.

RE: What type is Ninfia???
Possible, but not likely. Dragon types usually look more draconic, but we do have stuff like Kingdra and Altaria which don't really look draconic at all.
