I have pretty strong faith in Bulbapedia. They tend to do their research. |

Nah, Ninfia is legitimate. But those other scans, with the bird, bug, apparent fossil dinosaurs, and the ghost thing? I dunno. The fact that they show "in-game" screenshots of them, complete with their 3D models and proper/consistent shading DOES lend to their credibility... The only ones that I think actually look like Pokemon are the bird and the ghost, which I think are pretty cool designs. |

Ninfia looks legit. I hope it is because I really do like this Pokemon. I might actually be excited to play this game, I really like the Pokemon I've seen...... the elk, the frog, Ninfia, as well as the fact that's it's 3D. Last gen that I played (Diamond) I didn't really care about any of the Pokemon or about catching them. Edited by Pyroll7, Feb 13 2013, 09:26 PM.

I'm sure it's legit. I mean I could be wrong, but I realllly hope I'm not. It's pretty much the cutest pokemon out there. I just hope it's usable. Flareon is a great pokemon, but was practically useless because of it's moveset up until White/Black/2, and he still kind of sucks because of it. |

^ Agreed. What would y'all think about the inclusion of a new type? I mean, from a metagame standpoint there is no need for a new type (you know, that's why we haven't HAD a new type since genII); at least as far as attack-move types go, things are pretty darn well balanced. But fans have been clamoring for a new one for years. Of course, the one that always comes up is the "Light" type - a kind of antithesis to Dark type. It seems like with every gen the clamor for Light type comes up again. Last time, when Reshiram/Zekrom were shown, everyone was thinking Reshy was the new Light type, with Zek being the Dark type. Obviously that didn't happen. And here we are again, with people wishing that Ninfia could be a Light type. While I'm sure they're more than capable of balancing everything out either way, I personally I don't see it happening. Although... the fact that they're being so secretive about Ninfia's type DOES make me wonder; I'll admit. |

I doubt its because of a new type, though. Its likely that they're keeping it a secret simply because its a secret - why show it at all? I mean, I think that's more likely than a new type at this point. That aside, a light typing would be cool, though they would HAVE to retrofit older Pokemon, and six generations in, that seems unlikely. Instead of a 'type' it could be a status - like an ailment, only permanent. Or an ability. Something like - Light - This Pokemon is now weak against dark. Normal attacks are now 'light' attacks. Light deals double damage against Dark/Psychic Pokemon. It would have to be more specific, but I think that kind of mechanic would work well and make battles even deeper. |

We now have the official English name for Eevee's new Evolution. It's Sylveon and is featured in this trailer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wh8oR_IAR6s This news confirms my suspicions of a flying type. A Sylph is a mythological creature that has control or influence of the air. The design makes sense too, because a sylph is often in the shape of a young, thin girl.

He sux Nah, I didn't know he was flying. if so, he's still the only one, and he's a legendary. A pure normal that isn't flying would be awesome. |

It's still not confirmed by Nintendo, but all the signs are pointing in that direction. |

Pure flying would be neat. I wonder if there will be a second Eevee evolution because they usually come in groups of at least two. Dragon maybe? Rock? Ground? EDIT: Now that I think about it, ground would work. Umbreon and Espeon were rivals to each other type wise (light/dark) so maybe this time around it will be flying/ground? I'm just thinking out loud.

^ Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Where's the counterpart Eeveelution? My bet's on Dragon, if we get one at all. EDIT - oh, yeah, Ground would make a lotta sense. I still don't understand why they're making such a big deal about its type. I mean, are they simply taking advantage of the fact that its design is more ambiguous than other Eeveelutions in order to build up hype/speculation? By the way, I like your idea about Light as a 'status' condition, Ice. I think it'd be neat if they added another kind of Status and/or Weather condition. Edited by Togeshroob, Feb 14 2013, 11:27 PM.

Yeah. I think it would make for a really unique, new addition to the game play. I doubt they'd add a new typing this late in the game, unless it was unique to newer pokemon added, which would be kind of lame. Also, is anyone here thinking pre-evolutions/post evolutions? Like, will we finally get a Pinsir Evolution? There have been many pokemon that have been left in the dust because they weren't retrofitted with new moves, or with better stats. I'd personally love to see something done with Pinsir, and loads of other pokemon as well. |
