Ok, for people that are saying a new type, like Fairy or Light... Think of it this way.


What types would resist it? What moves would be a light type move?

"Would you like to use Surf on Light Type Sylveon?" Select Yes.

"Its not very effective."

How does that even work. The only thing that would even link to light would be Dark.

Now Fairy. I don't think that can count as an element. Omg, the fire kingdom is attacking!

Get the flutter troops ready.

"The fairy kingdom is going down."

Again how dumb.

Moves:
Light: Flash, Blinding Light, Flash Punch, Shutter Kick?
Fairy: Flutter, Magic Wand Whip, Wavy Wand?

Just think logic. If game freak is gonna make a new type (which they aren't), they're gonna think it though (hopefully).

Well considering that GF is essentially restarting the series in a way it is possible for a new type in the "second generation." When Dark types were announced no one would of guessed that Fighting types were strong against it or even that they were immune to Psychic types.

If a Light type is created it'll most likely be on equal terms as Dark, such as being immune to Ghost attacks or something along those lines. Though it does mirror Normal types. I can see Sylveon as a Light type, but Flying type is my better guess.

I can't wait until its type and evolution method are revealed! Maybe a new stone will be released too...

I can't wait for this generation to be under way so we can stop guessing about new types. Why can't people be happy with the 17 we have? Light? Fairy? This is Pokemon, not Yugioh.

Frost, you'll never believe this! I've just come up with a theory for Sylveon!

Sylveon has four legs, four ribbons, two eyes, and two bows. 4 + 4 + 2 + 2 = 12. Eevee's number in the National Pokedex is 133. If we split the number 12 that we got into 1 and 2, and remove the first and second digits in Eevee's number, we are left with 3, which can only mean....

Highlight to view spoiler.
HALF LIFE 3 HAS BEEN CONFIRMED

way to steal off cheezburger. bravo

Why thank you. It is off of Cheezburger.

I don't see how people think Sylveon is Dragon. The "red alert" sign that it isn't a Dragon is it's appearance: would Gamefreak seriously make a "girly", "non-badass", and clearly not made to please boys Dragon?

You never know. Look at Dragonite and Altaria. Then look at all the others.

(but seriously, the chances of it being a dragon type is kinda slim, it really doesn't look reptillian. Still sticking with normal or flying)

About the Fairy-type: there's the Fairy Egg Group. So, if they create the Fairy type, they'll have change the type to Fairy of the Pokémons in this group, cuz will not make sense Pokémons in the Fairy Egg Group not being Fairy-type.

I saw the chart with the eeveelutions and makes sense the opposite thing. But if we think about the same generation, we'll notice that one of the eeveelution are strong against the other
Jolteon → Vaporeon → Flareon
Umbreon → Espeon
Glaceon → Leafeon

I'm just so tired of people speculating about supposed new types. The chance of a new type is one in a million, and it's pretty much just not going to happen. There's no need for a "Light" or "Fairy" type. The ones we've got already are good the way they are, with only a couple minor issues (Poison could use some reworking). Adding another would just screw everything up. So sit down and wait for the official announcement for Sylveon's type, kiddies.

Oh, I forgot these groups, sorry. Anyway, I can't imagine Fairy being a type...

yeah it is hard to imagin this: http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?hl=en&tb ... x=28&ty=60 as a type

I'll clear it up for everyone. All of the Eeveelutions names have something to do with their element.
Jolt-eon = Electricity
Flare-eon = Fire
Vapor-eon = Water
Umbr-eon = Shadow/Dark (Umbra is latin for shadow)
Esp-eon = Psychic(ESP, which is Extrasensory Perception)
Leaf-eon = Grass
Glace-eon = Glacier/Ice
Sylv-eon = Air/Flying(A Sylph is an mythological creature having to do with air. Think of Sylphymon.)

So I think Sylveon is most likely going to be a flying type, probably with out the ability to learn fly.

Bug, Dragon, Fighting, Poison, Ghost(I can actually see this one happening.) It's driving me nuts seeing all these different speculations that make no sense.

If anyone is on this site and they don't know that then they shouldn't be here.


The sylph theory has been pointed out a few times already. My only problem with it is that the ph would change to a v, and no other eeveelution has the letters change like that. It's still the most likely option though (although sylvian is a close second, imo)

Sorry for the harsh welcome, but welcome to Psypoke!

Thanks for the warm welcome. Lol, I only say this, just as a reminder, because people are pulling random types out of the air(pun not intended). Saying dragon, bug, "fairy"[what?]...



Personally I think they changed it just to throw people off. Maybe just because it sounded nice. Maybe even because it was closely resembled "Sylphymon."

to sum up what this thread has said is:
1)there will be no new types and if you think there will be you are a noob
2)sylveon is most likely to be flying

they are noobs because only a noob would think a new type is going to implemented
