The new eeveelution looks like it'll be normal to me but what is with it's eyes? It looks like it's blind. It's definately not a bug type though, not sure where that idea came from, and it can't be a flying type because it doesn't have wings.

And since GF were definately going for the "cute" factor with this one, I'm gonna say that it's likely to be terrible in the competitive side of things.

and it can't be a flying type because it doesn't have wings.

Shaymin, Drifloon, Hoppip, Gyarados...

Shaymin, Drifloon, Hoppip, Gyarados...

Shaymin has an alternative form, Sky Forme which has wings, so technically it does.

Drifloon is based of an air balloon.

Hoppip, is like a dandelion which float in the air.

Gyarados might be a flying type but the only flying type move it can learn is bounce so it doesn't really count, in my opinion.

...Furthermore Eevee is supposedly based off a rabit or a fox so it doesn't make much sense that it'll be a flying-type when it's pre-evolution is ground based. Flying-type pokemon either have wings or are based of things that are associated with the sky, as I've already mentioned using your examples.

I do like the bug idea. Can't see it being flying just because no pictures support that. Normal seems most likely with the way it look, fur like a wigglytuff with the same eyes as well. Maybe Ghost(?) just because of the ??? typing. I dunno but if it's a new type I will not be excited for X and Y anymore.

[Arceusgamer14]

Wonder if Ninfia is a new-type (Maybe Light type Pokémon) There could be a new type because of Xerneas & Yveltal not having their Types revealed yet.

[Fearless123]

I seriously doubt that Ninfia will be a new type. Why would they create a new type using an Eeveelution, when there have been other types which have been around a lot longer like steel and dragon types which have yet to see an Eeveelution with that type?

[SmartD]

I thought there wouldn't be any new Eevee evolutions because the rest of the types wouldn't work (Can you imagine a Ghost or Fighting Eevee evolution?), but this quite a surprise. I wonder what type it is.

[General Nonsense]

So then, on closer inspection, the bows on Nimfia don't look like bows to me...they look to me more like butterflies. I suppose now I see how it could be bug type. Still not a fan, but oh well.

There is a official pokemon tv app released: http://serebii.net/index2.shtml

But When I went to the app store I couldn't find the app?

[The Eleventh]

I just downloaded Pokémon TV. The images that accompany the titles of the Unova episodes are incorrect. Also, is it just me, or is the video quality horrendous?

[Nibbles4Ever]

That new eeveelution looks like victini with 4 legs >.>

[subterranean_shoelaces]

WTF
this eeveelution sucks. The worst Gen V species as of now.
Its face is almost completely the same as Victini's...
I think it will be Normal-type and learn moves from all elements, like Castform but with a wider movepool.

[Thriller]

What is this? What is this possibly going to add to the Eevee Legacy? This better be confirmation of a new type at the least.

[blaze boy]

WTF
this eeveelution sucks.

On what basis? We know nothing about Ninfia.

The worst Gen V species as of now.

It's a generation 6 pokémon, do keep up.

Its face is almost completely the same as Victini's...

So? That means nothing to make Ninfia bad.

I think it will be Normal-type and learn moves from all elements, like Castform but with a wider movepool.

I am 99.9% sure that it's a bug type, the butterfly bow alone screams that it is.

What is this?

It's a new Eeveelution.

What is this possibly going to add to the Eevee Legacy?

Adding a bug type, if confirmed, eeveelution.

This better be confirmation of a new type at the least.

It's not, since we aren't getting a new type.

[Nibbles4Ever]

I guess it could be a bug type. It might even be a dual type. That would be cool =D

[The Eleventh]

Indeed, it could easily be a Bug-type. It would explain its eyes.

[Alisa180]

I just downloaded the new app and watched an episode on it. Not bad at all. I was just discussing yesterday with some friends that TPC was a bit behind the times. It was almost impossible to watch Pokemon on an IPhone or Android as no episodes were available for digital purchase and there was no mobile streaming. I doubted there would be.

Of course, I am now eating my words. Video quality aside(while not HD is still not bad) this is still a step in the right direction and one we should support.

[FireChick]

I wonder if maybe Ninfia could be a potential fighting type?

[[ACE] Zero]

I wonder if maybe Ninfia could be a potential fighting type?

Why would you say this? What even remotely *suggests* that? Please do so explain
