>>28490832Game Freak has been pulling a lot of bullshit on us for a while now.
They've been rather... quiet on new things as of late. They basically treated the Alola form 'mons as if they were new 'mons, and even the Z-Moves aren't been critically panned as a lot of things have been in the past.
X/Y showed Fairy types, but they showed us Sylveon and teased us about it. Mega evolutions? Same thing with Mewtwo.
This time though, they've just been showing us new shit on a whim.
Not saying we'll get this new "type," but there's a bit of stuff to back up the theory of it, at least with how a lot of this shit is space-based and a lot of 'mons somehow originate from space.
