Okay, /vp/, I know you guys are still frothing over what type Sylveon will be. But we’ve neglected a very important Pokemon – the other Eeveelution. GameFreak hasn’t released a single game with one without another. So what will it be? I’ve got an idea on what it is, but it’s based on Sylveon being Fairy, so if you are opposed to that, go to the three threads dedicated to bitching over it. The last Eevee evo with a brand new type was Umbreon, in Gen II. It continued the trend of Eevee evos being Special typed, and worked as a foil to Espeon; Umbreon was immune to Espeon’s Psychic attacks, Umbreon was defensive while Espeon was offensive, Umbreon was night while Espeon was day, etc. So the next hypothetical new type Eeveelution is Sylveon, Fairy Type. From what I’ve gathered, Fairy types are immune to Dragon types. Dragon is also the only formerly Special type to not be an Eevee; I can easily imagine Fairy type being set up as Specially-focused. Not only that, but they work as foils. Both are mythical creatures, Fairy being stereotypically ‘cute’ while Dragon being stereotypically ‘tough’. If Sylveon is Fairy type, its counterpart will be Dragon type. What do you guys think? What do you think the unrevealed Eeveelution will be?

Didn't Hiro say Sylveon is the only Eeveelution? If so then fuck off.

Since WPM's source has been proven true, I feel it's going to be Dragon. Not only will that exactly compliment the "one eeveelution has an advantage over the other" thing they've all had going on, but it directly parallels Gen 2 with Umbreon (the new type) being immune to and super effective on Espeon (the pre-existing type, which needed a nerf, and received one in the form of the former's type) Not to mention it would appease my autism by finishing the special typed eeveelutions thing.

If there actually was one, and the new type is Fairy and the expected type advantages for it are right, I'd say Poison. So far, the Fairy type seems to have inherited the healing properties Normal type used to hold, so Poison would be a nice counterpart to it.

>>12350709 I really like the idea of Fairy being the "opposite" of Dragon.
I fucking hope to Arceus it doesn't become Normal 2.0.

To be fair, the Eevee in the short is trying to impress Sylveon, right? I guess I would have to assume it evolves into another Eeveelution.

ITT: Fun ideas for legendary Pokemon that you would be happy to see implemented in XY. I'd like the Mew/Celebi/Jirachi of this generation to be able to switch between Psychic/Dark and Psychic/New Type. Mostly as a way of offering some explanation towards the new type, if it's added to the franchise. Maybe like, the Psychic/New Type used to be purely that typing combination, and then it was cursed by Yveltal and and became Dark type, and all of the fairy/light/magic abilities and types were sealed with it by the curse. I'd also like a Steel/Poison Steel/Fire and Steel/Ground trio that sort of represent mankind's destructive effect on their surroundings. Ideas like nuclear power, land moving machinery, burning energy sources. Anyone have any other fun ideas?

Or keep the trend of two eevelutions by having two sylveons, one male and one female. Thus ties in to the xy theme and the gender diferencea that will be prevalent this gen.

>>12352530 I can see that, having a blue one for male and pink for female.

I was leaning that the second would be ground because the "unknown symbol" when they show the eeveelutions on smash is clearly the kanji for mountain. but this was based off the fact I thought Sylveon was flying. If she really is fairy [spoilers]god save us all[/spoilers] then I would think that OP would be right. I could still see them going for ground and then focusing more on the Male/female thing rather than typing.

Personally though, I'm still hoping we also get sound type pokemon, along with light (which will probably be fairy) types.

>>12350647 That's actually valid in this case. OP thinks there will be another eeveelution because Gen II and VI did even though evidence points otherwise.

>>12354393 There should be pink in there somewhere if that's supposed to be male Sylveon.

If we are getting a second Evvelution I also think it would be Dragon, but as they haven't so much as hinted at a second one I personally doubt it.

The whole Dragon vs. Fairy thing is interesting. Can see Xerneas being Fairy type and Yveltal being a Dragon type. I mean, Yveltal looks like a dragon anyway.

>>12346367 I think is a girly evolution, because almost all eevees are males, so wont have a counterpart. But more probably ghost than dragon.

Nothing gives any sort of hint there will even BE a Fairy type. It will just be a Normal type. not "Fairy" or "Light" NORMAL

Where is the precedent for 2 eeveelutions? We've had, by generations: - 3 eeveelutions - 2 eeveelutions - 0 eeveelutions - 2 eeveelutions - 0 eeveelutions There's no pattern. Yes, we've had 2 eeveelutions together. We've also had 3 eeveelutions together. There is NOTHING to suggest we absolutely HAVE to have 2 eeveelutions any time they appear. You're just pulling this stuff out of your asses. They are most likely introducing a new type this generation. They want to use an old pokemon to help familiarise people with the new type, and Eevee was the perfect choice. There is no hidden second pokemon. They've specifically highlighted this Eeveelution for months now, and it's clear it's the only one they're introducing.
