Dex Speculation/Discussion Thread

[Spirit Kitsune]

Looks like a normal or bug type to me due to its eyes and body color and the ribbons. The ribbons look like butterfly wings. The body color though is the colors for most normal types and the eyes look like Audino's. Considering it reminds me of Victini as well though the eyes and coloring isn't much of an argument. However I can't see it as a flying type.
Normal type will most likely mean a Fighting type which would look more male like.
If its a bug then we'd most likely get a flying or rock type.

i hope they reach 800 this region

or at least to 780... any less then that, and id be very disappointed..

The rest of the characters are katakana, Japanese characters used for foreign words. Unlike kanji (also known as Chinese characters), they don't hold meaning. It reads "iivui aki yama furessu". "iibui" is referring to Eevee , "aki" is autumn, and "yama" is mountain. I think "furessu" is fresh, but I can't be too sure. I'm not very good with katakana.

It's furensu = friends. ン=n　　ツ=tsu

[Sneasel Lover]

Why won't it be, again?

Because there's about as much supporting it being Flying-type as there is supporting it's a crossbreed with Tabunne. Colour of eyes or scarfs flapping in the "wind" isn't enough.

[Complexity]

I think we'll only hit like 270. Even gens don't usually have that many new Pokemon, only like 100-130

[Demon Kitsune Yoko Kurama]

Can people stop treating the supposed Flying-type as being canon. It's not, and it won't be.

But, you're saying it's going the be Light typed, but people can't say it's going to be a Flying type? (^.-)

[Sneasel Lover]

because he wants a light type

As I've already said, I don't want Light-type.

[carboncopy]

When I first saw that thing I swore Victini was getting an evolution, those ears and they're basically the same color scheme

And this secret evolution method, wasn't the same thing said about Zorua? And it ended up evolving by level up

Eeveelution always use new methods.

oooh! i can do for a fighting type!!
I just hope this isnt the ONLY new eeveelution....

But that doesn't meant that it won't be a flying type. Right now, there's pretty much nothing supporting it's typing, because apparently, color isn't good enough.

He himself said that he does not want light type. So, dont bash him for that.

I simply said it's not canon. Light-type isn't canon either. But it, to me, makes more sense. Say whatever you want about it being Flying-type, just don't treat it as being the truth.

[Hikari Paradise]

If Skyla and Victini had a baby it would be this eeveelution.

[cascadethewarrior]

guys

Eevee always evolves with a new method every generation introduced in that generation

Anything that's already been done, whether it's level-up or level-up with move or level-up with item won't happen.

That doesn't mean they have to continue to due that. As someone said before Piloswine could learn Ancient Power in Gen 3 yet it did not evolve into Mamoswine.

270 is a pretty high number don't you think?

[AnonNekomata]

What if for the english name the Ninf- prefix is derived from the 'nimbus' par of cumulonimbus clouds. For example Nimbeon?

Yes, this is what I'd thought, if it turns out a Flying-type. I also thought it could come from "nimble", meaning it'd be particularly swift. Its design sure seems to suggest it.

[Raguna]

About Ninfia's design, I'd say people are overeacting to it. It kinda looks like Espeon's little sister, if I'm going to be honest. So I'd say it belongs with all the other Eveelutions.

[Yveltal96]

Because there's about as much supporting it being Flying-type as there is supporting it's a crossbreed with Tabunne. Colour of eyes or scarfs flapping in the "wind" isn't enough.

well in that case its color doesn't support it being light or normal type
sorry bro but a name and appearance is all we have right now so that's what our speculation is based off of
and the whole crossbreeding thing is a joke i mean sure it sounds cool but creating new animations for pokemon that look different from all the others is going to be near impossible in that little cartridge. mind that there is also over 700 pokemon to be in the national most likely

[Bolt the Cat]

I think we'll only hit like 270. Even gens don't usually have that many new Pokemon, only like 100-130

720 (which I assume is what you meant) would be too little, though, that's only 70 new Pokemon. I think 760-780ish sounds about right.

I simply said it's not canon. Light-type isn't canon either. But it, to me, makes more sense. Say whatever you want about it being Flying-type, just don't treat it as being the truth.

Nobody did... It's all opinion and speculation right now.
