>>12039386>If it was simply a normal then what reason could they have to hype that shit to the strathosphere for months?The same reason we still don't have all the DW abilities released two years after the fact? The same reason they didn't tell us the types of the box legendaries? Because they just didn't want to.
Look, there's not always some underlying reason for this shit. I think it's just as, if not more, likely that GF didn't tell us the type simply because they didn't want to, not because they're secretly hiding a new type.
>hype that shit to the stratosphereFans are the ones making a huge deal out of it. GF didn't 'hype' it up at all, they just didn't tell us the type. Fans immediately started speculating and assuming it meant something big.
And I'll say it again, the big deal about Sylveon will be how it evolves, not its type. It'll likely just be normal-type because that makes the most sense without diving into ridiculous assumptions based entirely on subjective interpretations of extremely vague preliminary information and game footage.
