This just in: "Sylveon" is confirmed as the name for this new Eevee evolution. Judging by the way that they seem adamant about hiding its type, I concede that it seems possible that it may be a new type altogether. Wikipedia assures me that "Silva" means "Spirit of the wood", though I'm not sure whether or not that is related to its type.

Perhaps I should just trust Game Freak to not screw this up.

ono they shoulda went with Ninjeon ;-; i like the ninja part of its name

unless syl is a play on sly ._.

In this demo video, Sylveon seems to be using "Light" moves. And the way they have been so quite about the typing makes me believe there will be a new type or two in this generation.

thats the same video as on pokemon.com o-o

*reads the YT comments* what would a bug type eevee evo look like? xD

im totally gonna get the fire starter just bc it looks like a fox

illusion if they add in new types i will give you my anka set, now shush.

btw second last move was growl and last was swift

The second attack, I believe, is Trump Card. The first one looked like a fire-type move. And Ashy's right about the last two.

I'll hold you to that ;D if there is a new type in the 6th generation I get an anka set.

types plural, two or more

Awuh, more types? :| I don't like the sound of this. I hope it'll just be one type, then... >_>

what so i dont lose my anka?

for illu

xD That poor Nintendo Worker..

Who said ghost types had to be scary/ugly D: I'd love it to be a cute ghosty ouo

Drifloon is a ghost, and is cute. Personally I think it might be a normal.

I personally think it's flying, but I would be very happy with either ghost or dragon as well. Dragon is the last remaining special stat type before the split that doesn't have an Eeveelution. ;A; Poor dragon.

i think it might be normal

I hope its not normal ono

seeing as eevee is normal and needs the elements around it to evolve.. the new evo being normal makes it feel like.. eevee grew up with out the usual hassle of searching for a moss rock or waiting for day >x<

i do like the idea of the beauty stat; thats what i loved about milotic, the hard work made it that much more rewarding :D

Ashy! hyjin wants your friend code and a genosect

That would make a lot of sense if it was the beauty stat that makes it evolve.. Overall I'd like more Pokemon that you have to use the various contest stats to evolve. I like unique evolving Pokemon that doesn't require trading to evolve.

i agree with you illu, also you shouldnt HAVE to challenge all the gyms. i want to be able to choose my own path in my pokemon adventure :s

I wish there were more gyms, but it doesn't matter which one you choose to battle as long as you get 8 badges.

or you could get more than the 8 :o

I would definitely prefer getting more than eight badges for the fun of it. I love me a good challenge. X3

wasnt there a hard mode setting on b/w2?

I dunno. I haven't played it yet cause I don't own it. D:
Am too poor for new video games. :(

There is for one of the games.. I forget which one, I never use it though. :/ I prefer playing the way the game was originally intended. Somewhat easy, and a little bit hard.

I believe that there is a hard mode in B2/W2, though I can't say I know quite how it differs from the standard fare. I'd imagine that enemy Pokemon are on an all-around higher level. I wonder if the difficulty of the game could affect one's ability to train post-game e.g. higher level elite four members allowing for faster training.

yeah and all you gotta pick up is a vaporeon or gallade and you can sweep the shit out of the elite 4

i should really play white and white 2 again... but i really want genesect... and my hunt still on

o3o The elite four in W2/B2 are that weak? D:

no, but i am pretty amazing

....... *punts Ashykins* Hmph. >_>

The Elite four is so easy! You just have to catch 6 durants and theennnn Sweep. ;D

In Black and White 2 your kind of bumming on that though, I conquered the elite four easily though because I came prepared for my first go.

and you had a really crappy party >.>

>.> You wanna go girl?
I bet that my Pokemon can kick the grass out of your Pokemon.

If you have any Pokemon with Dragon Dance, then you've basically already won the game.

anytime illusion

Yo, Ashykins and Illusion, if you guys do battle with your Pokémon, then please record the match and upload it to Youtube or something as I wanna watch it afterward. >_> Especially the part where Ashykins whoops Illusion's butt. :P

That sounds like fun! XD
The winner gets bragging rights!

i remember what your team is, i could sweep you with my jolteon xD
