I think I have a new favorite pokemon

What type are we thinking? My guess is bug (based on the English name of Sylveon, possibly drawing from Sylvania, which means "woods" or "forrest). If not, it could possibly be a normal-type?

Doesn't looks like bug to me...

It's a Normal type.

Normal types that are cute tend to be pink as well. There's also a couple Normal types that incorporate things like ribbons and bows into their design.

If not Normal, then I'm going to guess Flying type.

I am with you there Alex.... Normal most likely... fly maybe... unless of course...

LOVE!

Not to bust your bubble or anything Kitten, but I seriously doubt they'd add a new type to the game at this point, especially something as unusual as 'Love'. Normal types already cover that, anyway. <img src=

OK. No love for you... just friendship

Alright, so, I've figured it out. It's definitely a Flying type.

The name 'Sylveon' comes from 'sylph', an air elemental.

The French name for it is 'Nymphali', referring to nymphs, female elemental spirits.

If you look at the chart posted earlier, an official chart from Nintendo for the record?

Pokemon Thread - Page 25 Eevee_Evoli_Graphic_EN-545x600.jpg

Go counter-clockwise from Leafeon to Jolten. Each Pokemon has an advantage over it's opposite. Leafeon beats Vaporeon, Umbreon trumps Espeon, Flareon melts Glaceon, then wouldn't it make sense for Sylveon to be flying so that Jolteon has the advantage over it?

And finally, finally, look at [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pse_I1klRhA&feature=player_embedded:17bsl39o]the battle video[/url:17bsl39o] released for it. See the way it's ribbons are waving and moving? Like they're being blown around by wind? Definitely seems like an aspect a Flying type Pokemon would have, no?

If it's not a Flying type, I'll eat my hat.

EDIT: Also, it's the lightest Eeveelution. It weighs less so it's easier for it to fly, perhaps?
