I think they're going to do something weird with its typing, because I don't feel like they would be keeping it a secret otherwise.

The question is, what tricks do they have?

The fact that they're also keeping the way it evolves a mystery shows that Sylveon is going to have something very unique about it.

I'm starting to think that it's going to be a bug type now, since I've seen the other versions of its name and where the names come from.

Spanish, Italian, English: Sylveon (Could be Sylvan which one of the definitions of the world is "of, pertaining to, or inhabiting the woods.")

French: Nymphali (From Nymph: which one of the definitions is "the young of an insect that undergoes incomplete metamorphosis.")

German: Feelinara (Could be from Feelers: Which is another word for antennae, which bugs have.)

Of course, I'm not going to be disappointed if I'm wrong.

I hope not, I want something to actually look like a bug type.
Not many bugs have.. ribbons?

Hopefully normal, if not,... flying? Or.. light? o.o (no I want normal ;-

In another forum I go to someone mentioned the 'look like a bug type' thing.

My response:

Well, Eevee is based off of mammals. It'd be kind of difficult to make a mammal look like a bug without making it into an eldrich abomination.

This would hardly be the first time Pokemon has made a pokemon a certain type without it looking like it would fit that type.

This is a dragon!

This is a rock!

This is a bug! Despite other crustaceans being water type.

This is a pure steel type.

This is an electric type.

 

[YanoShigun]

I hope its bug now. That'd be cool. I'd imagine one of its premier moves would be the bug-type move Silver Wind?

 

[oath2order]

Why do you all want it to be normal type? Eevee is normal.

 

[SockHead]

I hate the idea of having a normal Eeveelution, mostly because that's what Eevee already is.

But who uses an Eevee on their team? NO ONE. Its stats are so bad why would anyone use it other than it's evolutions. Might as well have a stronger, more stat heavy normal type.

 

[Mary]

Because it's cute? Idk, I guess that seems like a lame reason, but still...

Eevee isn't really all that usable. It would be nice to have a stat boost to work with the versatility that comes with normal types.

Exactly. Just because everyone is so hopped up on thinking that it has to be something other than normal doesn't mean the obvious isn't staring them in the face.

This is Pokemon. They use certain kinds of visuals that make a pokemon obviously associated with a certain type.
and this one is screaming normal type. There isn't anything wrong with that, I don't see why people are getting so butthurt about it. Other than Eevee, it'd be the only one in the Eevee line that is completely immune to ghost type attacks and will probably have a pretty decent HP stat compared to the others.

And yes, with the Dwebble and Sudowoodo thing, they don't HAVE to look like something to be that type. But with a pokemon like that, that they're going to use for advertising and stuff, they're not going to throw in some sort of crazy typing.

Because the truth of it is, the only reason this pokemon has been shown so early is to get people hyped, it's most likely going to end up being a novelty sadly. The same way they used Marill, Plusle, Minun, and Emolga as marketing tools.
If it ends up being useful at all, then that'll be great. But from past experiences, they use these cute pokemon as a means to promote the game.
I wish people would hop on another subject, to be honest. I'd really like to know what everyone thinks about the region itself and what sort of other pokemon might be in it.

 

[Officer Berri]

*shrugs* I was just giving a guess based upon the naming style. I don't really care what type Sylveon ends up being. All that matters to me is that it's pink, blue, and friggin adorable. xD

 

[SockHead]

Also if it had anything to do with the Silph Co. (WHICH BY THE WAY IS A LONGER SHOT THAN SYLVEON BEING BUG TYPE) it would have been called Silpheon or at least SylvCoeon

Why would it have to be Silpheon?

I would actually love to play the whole game with just eevee and its evolutions, but that is near impossible as you would have to have 2 games, 1 completed, and 2 ds's. Also why it would be bad if it was normal is because then it make eevee another baby. If it isn't then eevee keeps its rare status.

or you could breed it with a Ditto and save yourself a lot of time. =p

Nothing is wrong with the new one being normal type. Eevee is still rare regardless.

 

[Juicebox]

I wonder is Sylveon is going to count for this generation's Lucario/Zoroark. In that it's going to have really nice stats, but it's going to get spammed like crazy.

If so, it may be Lucario's replacement in Super Smash Bros.

Where does my hubby find these... seriously...

No those images are really old, they've been around since HG/SS

All they did was copy and paste them and slap on an X and Y logo
