Posted 12 Jan 2013 I'm mostly going by the fact that the Japanese name is Iberutaru, which is a transliteration of Yveltal if it's pronounced ee-vell-tall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 12 Jan 2013 I'm still stuck on Regice His name is REG-ICE but the anime calls him RE-GI-ICE So mad about that. Mad and confused. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 12 Jan 2013 So there's a thing going around that suggests the final types for the new starters will actually be grass/dark, fire/psychic, and water/fighting. As opposed to yet another fire/fighting type. So, it looks like nintendo might actually be going after that popular dark/psychic/fighting starter trio you see people talking about all the time, while simultaneously keeping their grass/fire/water starting abilities. What's especially interesting about this is that all the roles are conflicting for each other. Normally a grass type would suck against a fire type, and a dark type would kick ass against a psychic type, but what happens with a dark/grass type goes toe to toe with a fire/psychic type? Personally, I still want to see them do the rock/ground/flying thing. Just because that's me. Will this new blue fighting type frog be enough to steal my heart from the blue fighting type frog I'm already in love with? Important announcement: That is highly unlikely as my toxicroak was personally gifted to me by one Mr. Muffin and all the things he gives me are worth their weight in gold.

Posted 14 Feb 2013 So what type is Sylveon anyway? Other than Skyla type according to Cascade The popular choices are Normal and Dragon Type, Normal because Eevee would finally get an evolution that isn't an unnatural mutant maybe, and Dragon because it was originally an attacking type that used Special Attack as it's basis for damage back in the days of Ruby/Sapphire and before then (there were 8 in total and they're all used by eeveeloutions now except for dragon).

Posted 14 Feb 2013 http://youtu.be/xWr_vK15mhA It's throwing playing cards so I'm guessing Vegas type. Ricardonaw likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 14 Feb 2013 BUT REALLY SYLVEON IS ALREADY MY FAVOURITE EEVEE EVOLUTION FOR OBVIOUS REASONS. cutest puppyin' pokémon I've ever seen. So going to be on my team for my first playthrough for X/Y! But I dunno, I'd say it's more likely to be a Flying-type personally. Mostly because it's name totally comes from "sylph", which are like, mythical creatures based around wind? right. That's what I think anyways. someone from another forum I lurk on adds some nice points as well: "Eh, I'm thinking Flying-type - both because I'm skeptical of them actually making a Normal-type Eeveelution, and because I've thought for a long time that a pure Flying-type Eeveelution would probably not have wings. Animals with wings are Normal/Flying-types; a pure Flying-type seems like it would be something that more embodies air in itself and can fly without wings (like Tornadus)." also because it evolves from merging Skyla and Eevee together duh. so Flying obvs. But seriously. if it ain't Flying (or Normal I guess that could work too but idkkkkk), I'll be really surprised. Really everything just seems to point to it being Flying. :C already sick of the legions of people going OMG IT MUST A NEW TYPE FAIRY-TYPE LIGHT-TYPE MAGIC-TYPE!!!! like, no plz... the current types are fine and p. balanced already. none of these proposed new-types even make sense. OH AND also the people who are weirdly insisting that because it's pink and frilly so it's gonna be female-only... like, what? Eevee family is like 87.5% male that'd be so puppyin' irritating trying to get a female Eevee just to get a Sylveon. Pokémon fans are really annoying during the pre-release phase of new generations sigh sheesh i didn't mean to ramble on for this long lol. but yeah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 14 Feb 2013 wut if they release a 2nd eevee for this gen and it's super masculine? They could counterpart! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 14 Feb 2013 a grumpy-looking, badly-designed, manly-as-shit, pure brown counterpart. it would be fighting-type. the pokémon versions of me and pheonix. Sylveon is Flying-type because I'm way cooler than pheo. etc. in other news Eevee-themed Valentine's are the cutest Valentine's pheonix561 likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
