>>16331206Names don't mean shit. I don't remember that source specifically, so I won't comment on it.
The Pokémon Smash thing happened like a week before the official reveal, after Fairyfags were already in full hype mode.
The hype could have meant anything. It could have been Normal-type, which would have been completely unexpected for an Eeveelution. It could have been any new type, not just Fairy.
