-Sure, when new types were added, magnemite and magneton had steel added to their typing, but there are much more pokemon now than there used to be, and so you'd have to change many more pokemons' types than that, and adding a new type could throw off veterans and force them to change their strategy altogether.
-They don't want to reveal too much. It's good to have some surprises and it keeps more people interested in the upcoming releases, and I do believe that it was said that its type would be revealed, assuming you're talking about Sylveon.
-You mentioned the word spirit, which, just saying, fits ghost more than some "light" type. Also, when the average person thinks light, things that may come to mind include good, heroic, holy, happy, nice, etc., and annoying, distracting, and useless don't fit the characteristics of light.
-When I see Gyrados, for example, I think water and dragon, not flying(it also has quite a bit dragon type moves, much more than it can learn flying type moves. It also learns what I believe to be 3 dragon type moves while leveling up, but not a single flying type move). A pokemon's looks and even movesets don't always exactly follow its typing. And as for looking like other pokemon, still assuming you mean Sylveon, it resembles jigglypuff and wigglytuff a good bit, especially the coloring and the eyes.

I agree as well here.
Earlier when I said something about the 4-way circle of Light/Sound/Flying/Grass, it was just a theory behind the Pokemon team's designs. To add on, I would believe Sylveon to be a Light type and here's a few reasons;
1. Its color scheme is pretty different, as the other Eeveelutions are pretty obvious what type they are, as this isn't.
2. The developers are keeping it's type a secret, when they could have just revealed it as they revealed the starters' types (but those are pretty obvious anyway).
3. When they've introduced new Eeveelutions, they came in pairs in which 1 type will have advantage over the other and following my 4-way type advantage wheel it would make sense to add in a Sound type Eeveelution.
-Why not reveal the other 'Sound' Eeveelution, you ask? Well, Sound in itself would have a pretty obvious design, if being designed for an Eeveelution, and therefore wouldn't be revealed until it was relevant to do so.
Again this is just a theory I have, for if they indeed are developing more types. I myself don't believe in it, it's just a possibility
GrizzlyEatsKids:
Well, allow me to break this down once more.
1. There a plenty of pink normal types with that color scheme, i.e. Igglybuff line, Miltank, Clefairy line, Lickitung line, Happiny line, Snubbull, Porygon line, Skitty line, Audino, and there's also a pink Deerling. Those large, round blue eyes can be seen on several of these pokemon. It actually seems pretty obvious.
2. See my second point from earlier. Plus, as you said, the starters typing was obvious, but that's only for their primary type. There is a good possibility that the starters will at some point in their evolutionary line be dual-typed, and those second types have not yet been revealed.
3. Introducing 1 new types seems unlikely, and so 2 new types is even less likely. Plus, normal types have a weakness, which is called fighting type if you didn't know. Reason for not revealing this fighting type one? See #2 above. The first three eeveelutions did not come in pairs, as it was a set of 3, and Flareon was not super effective against any of the other eeveelutions at the time.
-How do we know its typing would be obvious if a so called sound type existed? We probably wouldn't that the type actually exists, and Sylveon's type apparently isn't obvious to some people like nearly all eeveelutions are. And when would it be "relevant"? They could reveal what pokemon they want when they want, and nothing controls how much sense the timing of the reveal would make.

Fenror, I'm so glad you felt like making these posts.
I agree with you 100%
Miss Wednesday:
Fenror, he divorced me because he wants to marry you, thanks for ruining my life by making that post. </3
GrizzlyEatsKids:
I agree with me 100%, too! ;D
And besides, what are all of these claims and theories of new types based off of? ONE new pokemon, not to mention the first official non-starter/legendary from the new generation, that looks an awful lot like a type that already exists, which as I've clearly stated is normal. I'm not saying it's normal, but if I had to bet on Sylveon's type, that's where my money would be.
--- Quote from: Meowth on March 12, 2013, 04:52:49 PM ---Oi, there's a theory I saw somewhere, that:
A:Sylveon's a normal type, and
B:it's female only.
It also says that the other Eevee for this generation, would be normal. And have more of a black and blue and red color scheme.
Also, I'm expecting a lot of gender specific pokemon this generation. Why? Think about it. X and Y. DNA. X and Y chromosome. Just. Just think about it.

I do kind of like this theory, though. I understand it's purely speculation, but out of all the theories I've heard about the new pokemon, and eeveelutions specifically, this one actually seems the most logical. I'm not saying it'll happen, though.
You're welcome! And it was 2 posts, actually. XD
