Yeah, that's the downside. It's really cool though to watch all the old episodes. Great app overall!

I think it is amazing considering it is free, and no ads.

There is a annoying as heck rumor going around that it's been confirmed that Ninfia is a "Light" type by a user called "Tinsares" that apparently "dug into the official pokemon X and Y Website source code" and people are aggressively defending it.

In all honesty i think it will be a Normal type, it follows the common "Pink and Peach" pattern normal types have, like Skitty. Besides it fits normal much better then anything since it's obvious what type a Eevee Evo's are.

[Dr.Chaos]

I don't know why but to me the new eeveelution looks like milotic combined with eevee.

[FennekinFTW]

Stupid question-is Ninfia it's English name as well or just Japanese? I like the -eon suffix, would miss it immensely

[MastersOfMonsters]

No, that's just it's Japanese name. I would guess that will be Nympheon. Glacia became Glaceon and Lefia became Leafeon. ^^

a Light type would actually be wonderful because pokemon like spiritomb and saybleye would finally have a weakness

[your boss]

Except the fact that it isn't. Ninfia is a land creature while Milotic is a sea serpent. And don't get me started on the ribbons.

Masuda please announce you will never introduce new types.

A rumour is a what it is, nonsense school ground gossip. It isn't true and should be ignored until Game Freak confirms it.

Ninfia isn't a normal type since that what Eevee is meant to be. It's likely that Ninfia is a Bug type.

No it wouldn't as it make the type chart unbalance and would result some pokémon being retyped. It was a terrible fan idea that existed from generation 2 and still is.

They have one, it's called fighting.

[Hidden Power]

You're stating the obvious.

Personally I'm reminded of Victini when I looked at it for the first time, probably due to the eye color and its forehead.

Uh...let me guess, they're weak to Electric too?

[Hejiru]

No need to get snotty, Captain Obvious. He was saying it looks like an Eevee/Milotic is, not that it actually is one.

um...no, their dark and ghost, fighting does nothing to ghost, do you research, here's the proof: http://serebii.net/pokedex-bw/442.shtml http://serebii.net/pokedex-bw/302.shtml fighting: 0, pyschic: 0, normal: 0...everythng else: 1

Uh...let me guess, they're weak to Electric too?

they can be with soak and electric move combo but their aren't many pokemon that can learn soak but still...my point is light type would give them a geniue weakness

[your boss]

If you use Oder Sleuth then actually it does.

[siny]

maybe it sounds weird but with the name Ninfia it doesn't look like it but i could also be a fighting pokemon because of the nin (from ninja)
Als i like the idea of a ghost type, with does i eyes of her

"Nin"? Where does the f disappear to?

[Roald]

I hope it isn't a new typed Pokémon, I mean, it would be a good way to introduce a new type but we have enough types as it is.

Foresight,Odor Sleuth and Scrappy.

Maybe you should take your own advice before other people what to do.

[Excitable Boy]

or alternatively you could just hit them both with strong neutral attacks, since Sableye has crap for offense and Spiritomb is out and out walled by any Steel-type and its low HP kinda counterbalances its good defenses

[Atlanta-hammy]

First of all, I know it's just annoying as all heck to have to see that being posted EVERYWHERE I go that it's going to be a light type, which would knock everything out of balance and would be extremely redundant and not to mention would just break the game again.

Ninfia isn't a normal type since that what Eevee is meant to be. It's likely that Ninfia is a Bug type.

You seem to be discrediting normal type much to fast, why wouldn't it have a normal evolution? I mean Lopunny, Skitty, Meowth, and other full normal types have evolutions, what makes Eevee so special that it can't grow into a stronger normal type? It be nice to have a stronger normal Eevee Evo that does not have such a low and sadly cr**y move learning pool for leveling up. Besides, Eevee it's self does not count as a Evolution, it counts as a base.

Also how does it look like a bug type...? It looks nothing remotely close to a bug, if it's because of the bows I can't say that a legit reason to label it a bug type, people though Gothorita was a dark type and tuned out to be psychic.

They have one, it's called fighting.

I love how people seem to be forgetting "Dark" types are basically "Evil" while Fighting types are "Hero's" that counter them. Ex: LUCARIO.

[Arceusgamer14]

Will Nintendo ever release the Pokémon TV app for the Wii U & 3DS?

If Ninfia is a Light type my predictions on what Light type is?
Offense moves: Strong against
-Dark (Darkness & Light)
-Ghost (Ghost fear the light)
-Ice maybe (Light can melt Ice)

Not effective on:
-Steel

Defense Type
Resistant to:
-Fire (Too bright for Fire)

Weak against:
-Grass (Plants can absorb light)
-Dark (Even though Light can bright up darkness, Darkness can also block Light) So it'll be a Light VS Darkness A type strong and weak against the other type strong and weak against it.

[dman_dustin]

Foresight,Odor Sleuth and Scrappy.

Maybe you should take your own advice before other people what to do.

Those are called strategies and tactics to defeat Sableye and Spiritomb with fighting type moves.

There is no Foresight Type, No Odor Sleuth Type, No Scrappy type.

Type wise, they have no weakness, which is the point.

Liz Azzimagica wasn't saying is there some strategy/tactic that you can use to make said Pokemon weak against some other type.

No. No tricks, no tactics, type wise, Spiritomb/Sableye have no weaknesses, just because there is a way for them to have a weakness, doesn't change the fact that type wise they have no weakness.

A normal fighting type move isn't going to hurt ghost types, unless odor sleuth, foresight, and or scrappy get involved as well.

Not that I'm agreeing that there needs to be a new type to hit said Pokemon with super effective damage....I'm just saying.
