New Pokemon and Type Combinations Speculation

[alienhunterx]

But that new poke Ninfia ore looks like a Fire/Psychic type to me. Much like Victini

I'd be for a ram if we didn't just have Terrakion/Cobalion in the previous generation which kind of fit that somewhat :(

Ninfia does look like Victini in a way. Oh well, Froakie and Chespin are having look alikes as well so I don't really care. But I really think Ninfia will be called Ninfeon because all the eeveeloutions have eon at the end of it. I also think Nifia will be a Normal or Flying Type. Flying cause lots of people say it will be and it really looks like a normal type. c;

I looked on Bulbapedia and I looked at Leafeon and Glaceon's Japanese names and they both end in "ia" So I assume that this will be the case for Ninfia, and it will follow the path of all of the other eeveelutions and end in "eon"

[Logiedan]

I would imagine Ninfia would be the Japanese name. Either Nympheon from the water-lily flower, Nymphaea, or Ninfeon which could just be Nymphaea in a different language (jap).

Hmmm given that there's a new Eeveelution which is -really- creative looking, does anyone else think that the rest of the Pokemon revealed will likely be overcomplicated, like Unova? Because from the looks of it I think they're scrapping the simple designs, and if so something like a Dolphin will be overcomplicated and ruin what we've waited for :(

Nineon would be funny since this is the Nineth Eevee Family member.

Huh. Nine.
Cloud Nine.

Alright that could work for a Flying type.

[Magmaruby and Aquasapphire]

We may get another eeveelution, wonder what it'll be...Steel? So even if one doesn't count eevee they'll be nine eeveelutions...so Nineon would work even better
hopefully Ninfia does get cloud nine or some sort of weather nullification ability, it'll be a big help in double battles,rotation (if first/sent out to replace the first) or triple against perma weather sets.

Also back on the other eevee I imagine it'll remind me of sailor moon like Ninfia, especially if it has to do with stars...lol the eeveelutions can now represent the nine celestial bodies.

[Jubilation]

If we get more than just Ninfia this generation, I'm hoping for a bug or ghost type evolution too.

Aside from that, I'd love a bug / water or bug / ghost type.

[Magmaruby and Aquasapphire]

I want another pokemon based on some kind of sea bird, not a gull though.

Also Nimbus is a type of cloud, and Nimbus is Ninbusu in Japanese. Another way it could work for a Flying-type.

Hey folks, friendly reminder that topics about evolutions/pre-evolutions of existing families are better suited for the Evolution thread. I moved posts about evolutions here to there. Also, you could likely use the CoroCoro thread for all things Ninfia too. I know we're hyped, but let's try to keep things tidy for other readers.

The New Pokemon Thread should be used to speculate or brainstorm what new Pokemon families you would like to see in X&Y.

Do you know how cool a sea hawk Pokemon would be? I'd like to see that, just to say that my uni's mascot is in the game, luls. :D

I just checked it out and you're right it does look cool...I want one! Maybe it can be the regional bird . Or the new Water/Flying type we seem to get every generation.

As much as I complain about over-complicated and otherwise unorthodox designs, I actually think that a big cat amalgam would be a good idea. This is mainly because Arcanine combined a dog, a lion, and a tiger and managed to be one of the best 'mons from Gen. I.

As for the typing of said White Tiger, I'd like to see a Fighting/Ice type. This would especially work if it became a saber-tooth tiger.

[Magmaruby and Aquasapphire]

If anything I see a white tiger being Metal/Ice which would have 4x weakness to both Fighting and Fire...

Sounds more like a sabertooth tiger...

That'd just remind me too much of a certain Digimon. :( It'd just make people think "o no, MOAR DIGIMON in POKEMON", so idk. :x

[Garoucher]

I am curious about the bird of this gen. I hope that his final evo will be better than Unfezant, I don't like it very much.

[Digimon Kaiser]

Forever, Baihumon is my favorite of the Four Sovereign Digimon, he's pretty badass.

Speaking of cats, we need a jaguar Pokemon. Make it look kinda Aztec-y.

[Magmaruby and Aquasapphire]

Another cheetah (if Suicune is a cheetah...) would be nice.
Maybe our regional bird will be a different kind of owl to parallel generation 2 like V had another pidgin...or at least part pidgin.

[Kurapika]

A dual-type Eeveelution. (but not a stupid combination like Rock- Ground...) Maybe Normal - Ghost? (lol) with the ability Justified? We need more awesome Normal+type pokes anyway...
And some Ghost - Steel poke too, for stallers sets, which I hate... but Ghost + steel is a good combination I guess.. :D It could be some kind of an 'alive" knight armor or w/e... Yes, it sounds ridiculous, hehe! But, there are many ridiculous pokes already like Vanillite, Klink, Magnemite, ...

[CaptainDarvin]

What I really want to see is an Electric/Fighting type. Not sure what it would be though. One of the reasons i want this is because my team has every type covered except normal and dark. I was gonna just replace my Haxorus but if there is a Electric/Fight i'll just replace my electivire.

[Magmaruby and Aquasapphire]

An Electric/Fighting Pokémon would be awesome, perhaps it can be the new Lucario (if such a pattern does exist).

[Kurapika]

How about a tyrogue's long lost cousin that shares some genes with Eevee? I mean by that he is Fighting type and can evolve to either an Electric - Fighting, Fire - Fighting , Ice - Fighting, Ghost - Fighting, Dark - Fighting or Seel - Fighting when he levels up after learning Thunder/Fire/Ice/Shadow/Sucker/Bullet Punch, if he learned more than one, the priority will be given in a specific order. (the order doesn't matter ...). or maybe only Fire, Thunder and Ice... to keep it simple...
Also, an Electric - Ice pokemon could be realling stunning, literally. :3
