SPOILER ALERT: New Eeveelution

[TheManyFacesOfGlalie]

I've heard rumors for a while (I think ever since 3rd Gen) of a possible "Light" type, so you would have Light & Dark. If this does come true in this Generation, I can it being revealed this early to possibly announce a new type. It makes sense, the weight, color, etc and that would make sense as to why they are keeping it a mystery.

But "Light" would be Psychic. I mean, it's possible I guess, but I seriously doubt it. They added two new types during generation 2 (Steel and Dark), and that just made no sense in my opinion... Why would Dark be weak to Bug and Fighting? I never understood that. I would like a Light-Type, but I feel like that would be too much for Nintendo. They'd need to create an entire set of new moves of this type, not to mention review old Pokemon and see if they'll have this type, etc.

Fighting is like having Bruce Lee kick Voldemort in the face.
Bugs just eat away at the darkness!

But honestly Dark should resist Fighting, and Fighting should be neutral to Dark, because you wan't fight in the dark unless you have like Psychic powers of some sort... Thus, Psychic should also be powerful to Dark, yet it somehow doesn't even affect it. I bet they made Bug powerful to it just because Bugs had no power virtually in Gen 1.

When the franchise first introduced Dark Type, the Japanese あくタイプ did not have a direct transliteration for the phrase. Some translate あくタイプ to mean "evil" when in context, あくタイプ would more accurately mean "trickery" or "dirty fighting". This is why Fighting Type has an advantage, it's noble and fair fighting rather than cheating and trickery.

When taken in a literal sense, insects and other bug species are predominantly nocturnal. Many compound eyes are equipped for seeing in minimal light or total darkness. Being able to operate, regardless of light or dark, bugs have the advantage.

Hope that helped

[Asuna]

I want Sylveon to be flying or fighting... Although I wouldn't mind a groud type Eeveelution.
imo ground types have not been so great. except Golett and Golurk.

[Asuna]

By looking at the trailer and reading other peoples ideas... I have a feeling it's either Ghost or Normal.
If it's Ghost, I will so be getting one of these! Although it will have to live up to past awesome Ghost types (imo Gengar, Froslass, Golurk and Chandelure)
Even if it is Normal, I will still be getting one of these cos it's so adorable :3

[CammyCoolPants]
