With "Silva" meaning forest, foliage and all sorts of things, why does that equal Bug? Wouldn't it more likely be associate with Grass? Yeah, Leafeon exists, but that's not the point here. The point is that Silva doesn't immediately make you point to the Bug type. Even less so with Poison.
If you argue that Bug types live in the forest...so do a load of other type of Pokémon. Like Normal, for instance.
Yeah, they could be doing this on purpose to get the debate going about Sylveon's type, but that argument can be used for literally every type theory out there.
