I'm not saying that the whole type is girly but Sylveon is definitely what is considered girly or effeminate , Lots of pink, with bows and ribbons but that's not a problem, I like it and there are pokemon is almost every different style anyway.
Having a new type can only be a good thing, it adds a new dynamic, keeps older players something new to learn which keeps them interested and Knocks dragon-types down a peg... so bored playing people with 3+ dragons on their team, now if we could get a new 2x damage to fighting types everything would be peachy in my book! I would also like to see maybe dual type moves I think that could be interesting!
On another note I'm falling in love with this game more and more as new information comes out! October will be a long time coming!!
