The Butterflys on it make me think bug, but, man I hope not. I love Bug types and this thing just looks awful. I have been seeing that way too damn much! What is everyone's problem with Sylveon's design? I think it looks adorable.

It's a terrible design and doesn't look good with the other Eevees and it's dumb.
Anyway I don't see how it can be anything but a flying or another normal type... If not one of those it'd have to be a new type.
I'm inclined to believe that they wouldn't do a normal type on the grounds of that being a stupid cop-out, and I'm also inclined to believe that they won't add another type because that would cause far too big a stink...
Also the name seems to be derived from a Sylph, which is a wind spirit.
So in light of all that, I'm leaning toward flying.

What is everyone's problem with Sylveon's design? I think it looks adorable. it might be because everyone's comparing it to Eevee's design, if it's actually a new pokemon/ if the other Eevees didn't exist, people would/might adore it more.

Anyway, how bout dem Starters? You've got the unique choice of picking a Grass, Fire, or Water starter this time around. I can't wait to choose between Hipster Chipmunk, Foxcat Chihuahua, and Crazy Frog.

This may be so, but the fact of the matter is that it IS an evolution of Eevee, and the other evolutions DO exist. And it looks out of place compared to them. I don't hate the design, though. I did at first, but it isn't completely terrible. But anyway, thinking it's gonna be bug type just because the bows resemble butterflies is a little silly... I would hope they'd come up with something more creative for bug type. Or maybe not more creative so much as less stupid.

Something about the concept of a bug type Eevee is nothing short of terrifying and weird for me. Not to mention a tad bit unfeasible.

I don't really see how it's unfeasible. It's just that so far Eevee's evolutions have all been "special" types, so seeing something physical would be a bit strange. Another eason why I don't think Sylveon is Flying. Just saying.

There haven't been "special" and "physical" types for years. Stop using that argument, it doesn't make sense anymore. Get with the times.

I'll be happy as long as the fox isn't another Fire/Fighting, but what I'd really like to see them do is Grass/Dark, Fire/Psychic and Water/Fighting so none of them have a complete advantage over the others.

Eevee is a fox. I can see how you can make a fox a fire type. I can see how you can make a fox a water type. I can see how you can make a fox a lightning, psychic, dark, leaf, or ice type. I can see how you can make a fox a flying type even (fox magic? I dunno them pokeymanz float around sans reason all the time.)
I however cannot imagine how you'd make a fox a bug type. Bug fox seems like a terrifying concept and Eevee would kind of have to cease being whatever it is to pull that off.
I can imagine Eevee getting a poison type down the line though... Steel or rock maaaaaybe but that'd be kinda weird... Dragon (loldragontype) also seems a little out there. Fighting I guess is possible but also a little weird (though not as weird as those other things.) Ground or Ghost aren't that weird but just kind of dumb.
I guess for me, Flying seems the most probably of new Eevee types, then there's Poison and maybe Fighting... Ground or Ghost if you really want a stretch. Anything else just seems a little unfeasible, like I said. Just by that logic I feel like this new one can only be flying or it would have to be a new type altogether.

Holy crap, Nightmare said stuff about Pokemon that I can actually agree with. What is this?

Holy crap, Nightmare said stuff about Pokemon that I can actually agree with. What is this? I don't think any type is too out there for an Eeveelution. I hope that eventually there is one for every type. I just don't think Sylveon looks like a flying type. D: Why would they make it so obscurely related to the type it's supposed to represent? And I know the types are no longer exclusively physical or special, but the trend has still held up for 5 generations. Also, this: THAT looks like a Flying type Eeevee. THAT looks like a Bug-type Eevee. We shouldn't have to speculate this much about an Eeveelution if it's a type that already exists. It just doesn't make sense.

That's some nice fanart you dug up there... but still, I don't see how you think Sylveon doesn't look like a flying type. I don't see how it could be anything else but that. And yeah, you can repeat "New type. New type." until you're blue in the face... but before you can convince me that it's going be one, you first have to convince me that there's actually going to be one. Dark and Steel were introduced 13 years ago... there have been three generations since then. Why would they start introducing more types now? Why not gen 4? Why not gen 5?
I'm not even against a new type being added... I just think it's one of the most unlikely things to happen. And that hoping for one is doing nothing but asking for disappointment.

We shouldn't have to speculate this much about an Eeveelution if it's a type that already exists. It just doesn't make sense. Yeah, I've seen fan art for pretty much every type of Eevee and some of them actually look pretty good. The thing with Sylveon is it just doesn't seem to fit with any existing type, which is the only reason people are even speculating about Light types and whatnot. I stand by the earlier statement that it looks more like a normal type than anything else. Except it looks more like Chansey or Clefairy than Eevee, if Eevee were to evolve into a normal type you'd think it would just look like the bigger Eevee on Ruin's chart, not this white, bug eyed thing. And I don't think its a flying type Tony, mainly because it doesn't look like it can fly. Although I will say that the bows and frilly scarves remind me of the Flying gym leader Skyla. But I think they're pink bows, as in the item which powers up normal moves.
