Here is something weird someone brought up:
Not saying its not coincidence, but you can never be 100% sure.
Guys, look at the eevee chart on the official website:
Vaporeon is weak to Grass and shown opposite to Leafeon
Glaceon is weak to Fire and shown opposite to Flareon
Espeon is weak to Dark and shown opposite to Umbreon
And then we have Silveon which is shown opposite to Jolteon... so I conclude that it has to be weak to Jolteons type or vice versa. The only type that Electric is weak to is Ground... however since Silveons doesn't seem to look like a Ground type it probably is a Flying type.
I think it will actually be of the rumoured Light-type to be the opposite to the Dark type (Umbreon), there has been speculation Chansey and Audino (same colouring) will be normal/light dual typing in the new game.
Where have you heard these light type rumors? I am curious.
Here is something weird someone brought up:
Not saying its not coincidence, but you can never be 100% sure.
The main flaw in this theory is if Sylveon is normal then it can't work as none of the other Eeveelutions interact with normal types.
So do you guys think that Sylveon will be the only new Eeveelution or that there will be another one in keeping with the previous two per every other generation model?
EDIT: Sylveon looks so much better in the official Ken Sugimori artwork then the other materials. I found it kind of funny, because his artwork is the first one I thought it looked like an eeveelution.
I am personally holding out hope for a Dragon type to complete the set of special types.
Though I do wish they would add Eeveelutions at a greater pace as I don't want to wait another 20 years for the complete set... God it has almost been 20 years since I first played Pokemon hasn't it.
I really hope it is not a flying type. It would be a horrible design, especially when the flying type has so much potential. How could you go with a bow tie and hair bow instead of making a Pegasus eeveelution.
Also is just me or does Sylveon's eyes make it look soulless?
Finally I actually think the video makes it more likely that Sylveon is a normal type. Fire Blast can be learned by a ton of Normal types, but by no flying types that aren't fire, dragon, or normal.
Another thing in normal type favor is that it is using Trump Card, which a level 45 Eevee is one of the few pokemon that can learn it. To me having Trump Card be used points to it being the final move learned by the normal Eeveelution.
Those are great points. There's no reason they couldn't put a pair of wings on the Flying-eon.
I also have this strange feeling like they might pull a 180 and if Sylveon is a normal type and have the evolution be triggered by leveling up. Or if not by pure leveling then by one of those other level up mechanics like holding an item or something.
Finally anybody think there is a chance Sylveon is female only and that there will be a male only eeveelution that has been yet to be revealed?
Finally anybody think there is a chance Sylveon is female only and that there will be a male only eeveelution that has been yet to be revealed?
If there were hypothetically an X (female) and Y (male) Eeveelution, Sylveon fits the bill. The feminine appearance, the bow-ties, and the four...scarf things.
Ninfia or Nympheon is the first of two Eevee evolutions to be introduced in Pokemon X and Y. Much like Umbreon in Gen II was one of the first known Dark type pokemon, Nympheon of Gen VI is one of the first Light type pokemon. Much like the Dark, Psychic, Fighting and the Grass, Water, Fire trinities, Light pokemon complete a trinity with Dragon and Steel types. As when Magnemite and Magneton retroactively had Steel added to their types, most of the Fairy egg group will have Light added as a secondary type, such as Chansey, Audino, and Clefairy.
Thanks to Tinsares for digging into the official pokemon X and Y website source code for this.
EDIT: Obviously, this is the scan from the magazine and not what was found in the source code. I just wanted a picture to post with the info and I thought the scan would be better than half japanese html.
EDIT 2: Tinsares says the site was updated and the code was taken out. Sorry, guys!
Some thoughts:
The source seems while maybe not legit, much higher than a mere rumor.
Sylveon makes sense as a light type, especially since the rumored light type is more like a "fairy" type than a traditional light type. Sylveon has a very fairy design and Sylva has a lot of hits when combined with fairy and/or light in the search. In addition this wikipedia article about Sylvanshine: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylvanshine
(Note: Though the sylvan part of sylvan shine seems to mean more about trees than light, so its somewhat inconclusive)
The rumored retyped Light families I've found: Jigglypuff and Clefairy are the most rumored, but I've heard several people mention Togepi.
There is much debate on whether this retype will be added along with normal or replace normal.
There is also a big debate on whether and/or what moves will be retyped. The rumors are Trump Card and Swift based on the fact Sylveon used them.
Edit: I think a Dragon, Steel, Light trinity is weird and would require a weakness change in either Dragon or Steel to work if I am thinking about it right.
Something else I just noticed as I do nothing but Eevee things all day (before you ask it is very rewarding) that adds more circumstantial evidence to the fact that Sylveon is the rumored light type and that the light type is more of a fairy type.
The french name of Sylveon is Nymphali, which comes from Nymph. And it appears Ninfia should be more accurately put in romaji as Nimfia, and is just a spelling change away from being Nymphia (phonetically they are pronounced the same). This all leads credence to the upcoming light/fairy type.
I see where your coming for guardsman, but I just really wish one thing
Flareon.
Flare Blitz.
They need to make it so.
Year that would be such a great move for Flareon to be able to learn. That has always been Flareon's biggest problem in that he doesn't really have any good physical fire moves that he can learn, which is a shame.
I know Vaporeon can be a decent tank
Jolteon is a speed attacker
Espeon is a special beast (Both on attack and defense and its speed aint shabby)
Umbreon is a tank
Leafeon.... i dont know much about as I never used one
Glacion (I am an Ice lover, so this is my eveelution of choice) is a special attack beast
In the ever expanding world pokemon rumormonging the latest one is that their will be two new types coming with X and Y, Light and Sound. While Light has several sources pointing to it being included (including some stuff supposedly datamined from the Pokemon website that was then promptly taken down once it became known), this is the first I've heard of a Sound type. Note though that this sounds like a pure rumor (see what I did there), but it could be true.
In the other article from the same website is some stuff supposedly leaked from a Nintendo editor via 4chan. The interesting thing here is the over 130 brand new Pokemon and new forms and evolutions of "old friends".
Just so everyone knows, the Light & Sound types were widely debunked as an April Fool's gag.
The other rumor that Guardman mentioned, though, does seem to have a bit of merit. They introduced more new pokemon than that for Gen 5, so it's not infeasible that they'd do it again.

No more info on light type but the new trailer has what looks to be Mewthree
Pokemon.com of the U.S. hasn't really confirmed yet as to whether or not If it's a New Forme of Mewtwo or If it's a seperate new Pokemon species possibly known as "Mewthree". CoroCoro Magazine which is the source for Pokemon Info in Japan confirms that the new "Mewthree" is really Mewtwo's New Forme in X & Y. So Pokemon.com probably didn't have time to post the updates or something.
I also remember there was a pic on the Internet going around about a possible evolution for Jynx in Gen VI but according to PokeBeach when I asked one of the Mods about it he told me that it was confirmed to be fake and Serebii.net hasn't posted any official confirmation regarding it but I got a hunch that it could be real. It's still looking like it's possible to transfer Gen V Pokemon to Gen VI with the last X & Y Trailer with Machamp, Cloyster, and Zangoose in it.

Normal does make sense.
How many more before you run Eeveelution Mafia Part 2?
I am actually working on it right now. But don't worry about the Eeveelutions. I am more than capable of making my own.
