If you look closely at the head you see a head band like thing around it. Possibly indicating fighting type. Also Ninfia is its name so Nin=ninja=fighting???

I'm taking a guess that it's either the small legendary, the third legendary, or some other Zoroark-type of being that'll be a movie 'mon.
Either way, my hubby and I see the silhouette entirely different... I thought I'd go ahead and show you guys what we're seeing.

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/25431421/silo.png

H = head, C = chest, W = wing, S = stomach, T = tail. Where the question mark is toward the bottom could be potential legs... The strange circular shape around what I assume is the tail is either a twirled tail or a ring around it, to me. The place I assume to be the head is way too different in shape from the assumed wing to be a second ear. So I definitely don't think it's a furry creature like Fennekin or Eevee. Not to mention there is no snout-like shape where I assume the chest is. It doesn't resemble any Eeveelution I've ever seen.

It seems to be either serpentine in shape or centaur-like if those are legs at the bottom.

YES! That's exactly how I see it. The silhouette is pretty ambiguous.

Oryx February 11th, 2013 8:07 PM

I don't think those two big parts at the top are ears. If Pokemon was going to have spiked fur coming out of one, they would probably having it coming out of both.

Sydian February 11th, 2013 8:11 PM

I hope one of those is wrong...the name Ninfia for an Eeveelution? Either it needs a new name ending with -eon, or it's not an Eeveelution if it keeps that name. idk I just...I'm having a hard time accepting they'd not end an Eeveelution name with -eon. Doesn't make sense to me.

Miss Doronjo February 11th, 2013 8:12 PM

Do you guys still have doubts? :B

The Japanese name for Glaceon and Leafeon are Glacia and Lefia. If this ends up turning out to be a new Eeveelution, which at this point seems likely, then it's more than likely the English names will change to have an -eon at the end of it.

That is its Japanese name. They dont use eon.

Kenshin5 February 11th, 2013 8:15 PM

Looks to be Normal, with some Milotic aspects to it. Maybe evolutions by Beauty and they bring contests back?

EJ February 11th, 2013 8:15 PM

What type would that be? normal? flying?

Oryx February 11th, 2013 8:15 PM

Ah! I see now! It was a ribbon going across the other way, and the snout was facing forward! That's one tricky silhouette.

That makes a lot of sense now. It's quite beautiful! <3 I can't help but feel that it's a normal evolution. >w>

Retro Bug February 11th, 2013 8:18 PM

Oh, ahaha. Yep, I wasn't looking at the silhouette right.

Yes, I want to know typing. It looks Normal to me but I don't think it is...

Ho-Oh February 11th, 2013 8:18 PM

It looks liiiiike Victini kinda? Maybe like part Psychic/Fire, or can be gotten with the help of Victini...?

Or Flying/Fighting. :x

hughes February 11th, 2013 8:18 PM

It's so cute! I think it's a normal type, but I couldn't guess how it would evolve.

Miss Doronjo February 11th, 2013 8:19 PM

I do wonder what "Ninfia" translates to as an eon. That'll be the key to understand it's typing.

So far, people have been betting on it being Normal. But, I'm really betting it to be Fighting... maybe.

Golurks Were Meant to Fly February 11th, 2013 8:19 PM

I'm really unsure what to think of it. I... I don't kno I think i was expecting something cooler for an eeveelution haha. But I'm gonna go with normal for this one. If it flies by ribbon power... @[email protected]

Actually that'd be kind of awesome. Maybe it evolves if you get enough ribbons from contests? It's an eevee evolving to the difficult environment of the competitive pet show world?

True. Better names than...Showers.

Anyway, that thing looks...like an awkward Victini evolution haha. It's cute though. The color scheme makes me think it's a Dragon type...

Well post from Serebii says
Quote:

Picture still unconfirmed but everything matches CoroCoro style. It's said to be 1.0m and 23kg. The evolution method is said to be a secret, as is its type
Let's take it with a grain of salt yea?

Pinkie-Dawn February 11th, 2013 8:20 PM

It's not a Dragon evolution; quit ruining your patterns, Game Freak! >: (

But wait, it says here its type is unknown, so could this mean we might get a new type after all? Could it be, dare I say it, a Light type?

Victini February 11th, 2013 8:22 PM

;w; It doesn't look that much like Victini, sheesh.

I'm gonna take a bet that it evolves through maximized beauty like Milotic. >w>

I... think that'd be interesting of a new way to get new Eeveelutions! I mean, there could be so many different "environmental" evolutions, and it having ribbons on does seem kinda strange.

Dillon_68 February 11th, 2013 8:22 PM

I think it will evolve through the supposed new bonding system.

Xander Olivieri February 11th, 2013 8:23 PM

That definately looks like a Normal Evolution for Eevee. Maybe Meowth accidentally causes Eevee to evolve into the new Normal type?

Bluerang1 February 11th, 2013 8:24 PM

It's really ugly. Wonder what it's type is. And hopefully this isn't the only news this month. The English Pokemon site should update us on it soon.

Golurks Were Meant to Fly February 11th, 2013 8:27 PM

Now that I look at it, it COULD be dragon after all. it's got the coloration, and nothing says dragons can't be furry :P. Plus, it isn't furry besides its ears.. and I feel like its eyes are kind of draconian. It's not TOO far a stretch...

eh maybe it is lol

The type chart seems to be balanced enough as it is, unless they're just throwing in a new types for giggles, which doesn't seem too likely.

Well given that its typing isn't exactly obvious, and one of the typings of the two of gen 2 was one of the new typings, maaaaybe?

On the contrary, I think it looks more like the Eevee version of an Audino. Still cute though.

As far as how it'll evolve. I doubt maximizing its beauty will be the way. It'll have to be an entirely new method as to not leave a gaping hole as to why it never would have evolved before, should someone have maxed out its Beauty levels back in Gen III or IV.

PlatinumDude February 11th, 2013 8:30 PM

I'm really hoping the hidden Pokémon is an Eeveelution and I think it could be Dragon or possibly Flying.

Just cause it says Type Unknown doesn't mean a new type. Reshiram and Zekrom said Type Unknown when they were revealed and Yveltal and Xerneas both say that their types are unknown. Its just the company not wanting to give us all the details on the Pokemon yet.

Sydian February 11th, 2013 8:31 PM

"It's so ugly omg" Give it a few hours like you did with starters and legendaries, guys. You'll be okay. And if you aren't, find a new fandom lmao.

Still banking on the Dragon typing though. Don't think anyone saw this, since my post was at the bottom but, that color scheme reminds me of:

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/4/48/DragonIC_Big.png

Also, this news is so big, Eevee is trending on Twitter lmao. Thought I'd mention that.

Miss Doronjo February 11th, 2013 8:31 PM

Maybe this will be the first actual Eeveelution that actually evolves on a specific level of Eevee?

Yukiiye February 11th, 2013 8:32 PM

Just a random thought, but maybe its gender exclusive? Like this is a female eeveelution that evolved with happiness. Perhaps there is a male version as well? (totally random speculation, not likely)

Perhaps they are both normal

I've also read people discussing that the Ninfia looks very similar to Skyla, which makes you wonder if it could be flying type.

Regardless, I approve, it is very pretty :)

EJ February 11th, 2013 8:34 PM

http://i.imgur.com/ZokbPZv.jpg

Seriously...this is all I see hahaha

it's kinda scary how similar they are

alisaie February 11th, 2013 8:35 PM

I like the idea of it evolved due to gender. But if they add that into happiness then how would it be possible to get an Espeon or an Umbreon? I think it would clash. But now that Syd beings up the dragon type image it could still likely be a dragon type.

They could always change Umbreon and Espeon to using the Moon and Sun Shard respectively. You know, from Gale of Darkness.

I was thinking this exact thing. The logo for the Eevee special reveals a letter with a purplish color at the end not matched to any of the previous Eeveelutions, as well as two stars atop it's letter. Two stars could easily represent two beings.

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/25431421/1360643370133.png

Except my theory, considering how colorful and extravagant Ninfia is, that they both evolve through maximized beauty and/or happiness. Ninfia is pink accented by blue with blue eyes, while the male version could be blue accented by say, red, with red eyes. If you combine blue and red together they create purple. And there you have it, bingo, final letter. :D

Jake♫ February 11th, 2013 8:39 PM

I'm just going to call it now and say it's a fighting type named Ninjeon. I don't know why, just a gut feeling =P

Golurks Were Meant to Fly February 11th, 2013 8:39 PM

Honestly I think from a different angle, instead of the face being straight forward, Ninfia will have a snout and look less like victini. And maybe more like a dragon...

But also, I could see it being flying like how Shaymin-Sky was flying yet had nothing characteristically flying about it. And maybe it's ears could fold down to be like aviator goggles? With the insides actually being holes.

MY GOD HOW ADORABLE WOULD THAT BE.

True! Could introduce new stones or shards that are exclusive to the gender specific evolutions, that would solve that I suppose.

And I do like the Dragon theory as well~

PlatinumDude February 11th, 2013 8:40 PM

Okay, forget what I just said earlier about that Eeveelution's typing. But still, I'm confused as to what type it'll actually be, considering its appearance.

Well, Dragons can be as friendly as they want to be.

Like Dratini. It looooked kinda too cute to be Dragon pokemon to be honest. Dragonites also tend to be not very hostile... until it needs to be. I dunno, I don't think it's a Dragon type too, but... the possibility is up in the air.

The only close thing the new eevee evo is to Victini is the eyes. The colour however is the same as miltoic.

I was thinking that but I was too lazy to bring it up lmao. That's a possibility if they wanted to go that route.

Altaria, Dratini, Dragonair, Axew. All of them I find cute. Cute Dragon types do indeed exist.

Gender + Move? Or just Move related. Unless they introduce a new evolution method.

Well no, I meant like a specific level, (eg level 30). Umbreon and Espeon can only be technically evolved when you have a maximum amount of friendship.

Victini February 11th, 2013 8:47 PM

AH! OMG!

Found the origin of 'Nin'!! If you review the Japanese names of the Eeveelutions you'll see they are all based heavily around English words.

So based off of that, we came across this : Ninon.

Quote:

Ninon is a sheer fabric of silk, rayon, or nylon made in a variety of tight smooth weaves or open lacy patterns and/or open mesh-like appearance.[1] It is described as very delicate or lightweight and is sometimes referred to as "French tergal".[2] Available in a variety of solid colors and tone-on-tone woven vertical stripes. Some ninon fabrics have embroidered borders. Pronounced "nee-no". Because the fabric is made with high twist filament yarns, it has a crisp hand.[1] End uses include eveningwear and curtains.
Considering that the games are apparently based in Europe, the fact ninon is referred to as French tergal, it only makes more and more sense.

... Oh yeah and the ribbon in the middle of the logo was just pointed out to me to be the ribbon of Ninfia. Tricky that was. >w>

Ahhh that does make a lot of sense! I can see what they went for in that picture now!

But still, with this 'ribbon' origin, what can that mean for this eeveelution? Does it evolve with a ribbon-item? Or maybe by maximum cuteness or beauty?

Press the 'B' button and stop the evolution before the evolution that you want it to evolve to? Shawn's idea is far better than this though. :b

After looking at the image I do like the idea of it evolving by a ribbon or something. Perhaps that is the item that is to be used? Or a bow or something.

Nah. In the past people thought the bow was Espeon. But if it isn't Espeon then I suppose the purple Kanji would be Espeon, making all the eeveelutions present. Otherwise we're missing an Eeveelution.

Yukiiye February 11th, 2013 8:59 PM

What about items like "Silk Scarf"

and yeah that's the only item I can think of.

But it can be held while leveling up + happiness, etc.

I would rather GF just bring back the contests. Then I am all for contest ribbons. Maybe instead of beauty, it'd be the cute category?

Doesn't work that way sadly. Once the point has been reached, it'll keep trying to evolve under the current settings until something changes. So if by level, you reach the appropriate level with Max Happiness, the only way to get the new one would be to lower the happiness as every time it would try to evolve it would evolve into Espeon/Umbreon.

I've tested this with Glaceon/Umbreon attempts. All attempts to evolve an Eevee near Icy Rock resulted in Glaceon. Once I moved away it would evolve in to Umbreon. So it goes by a heirchy, Location > Status (Move/Happiness) > Level/Item/Trade

I was, for the most part, joking. Using the 'B' button as a effort to stop the evolution would have been a broken way to do it, because of the reason as you have just said.

As for items they can always make a new evolution item for it to evolve from.

Agreed. The Eeveelutions are not technically in number order or any order to begin with considering Eevee is after the first three Eeveelutions rather than in the front where it's supposed to be. So Espeon would very much be that Kanji at the end or else... yeah. What Peaches said. XD

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire February 11th, 2013 9:05 PM

It looks like it's a normal type...crosses fingers that it is and that the other one is Ghost type.
Though it could be our much awaited Dragon eeveelution as the colorful part of it's "ribbons" seem to have the red/blue coloration of the Dragon type's label.

Oshamaru February 11th, 2013 9:07 PM

It looks really cute....Must...Draw...NOW!
Man, whenever a new Pokémon is released, I ALWAYS want to draw it.
I think it could be a Fighting, Flying, Dragon (although not much) or a Normal type. It could evolve by trading it while holding a Marvel Scale or Pretty Wing perhaps?

Still, I´m expecting more tomorrow. : D

Sheep February 11th, 2013 9:08 PM

Holy moly it is so cute. D: Was wondering why I was seeing all this Eeveelution talk on my Twitter feed, haha. This one is definitely one of my favorites yet; looking forward to more info.

Not sure if this is what you meant, wasn't sure if people were speculating another eeveelution based on the stars.

But I think this covers the relation to the logo?

jellotime91 February 11th, 2013 9:49 PM

HA! I KNEW the Zu represented Espeon!

This new one looks really stupid. Can't imagine I'd ever use it, and it looks like a normal type. Wah, wahhhh...

Swolligator February 11th, 2013 9:52 PM

Also, just a quick thing, didn't Iwate or Masuda say there was going to be more focus on Pokemon-Trainer relationship? Could it be that this relationship is how Ninfia could evolve?

What if it is a bug type? I mean, the symbol on the Japanese logo is a butterfly! I hope, I hope, I hope that there is gonna be a more masculine one. Try to convince me this thing is NOT related to Victini :/ *finger crossed* for a rock, steel, poison, dragon, or ghost.

Tsukiyo February 11th, 2013 9:56 PM

I've always thought the idea of a Normal Eeveelution was completely ridiculous. What would be the point? Eevee itself serves as the Normal type. It seems a waste of a perfectly good opportunity to release, oh, say, a Ghost type. Or Poison. Or Dragon. Heck, ANYTHING else.

That said, Normal was unfortunately the first thing that came to mind when I saw it. It's just so...unreasonably cute. It seems the most logical conclusion, but I'm truly hoping that I'm 100% wrong.

Symbol on the Japanese logo is a bow. Like the ones on Ninfia XD.

Looks like a butterfly to me! And it's eyes look soulless and bug like :P and all of those "ribbons" could be antennae or something...

Also, you can see a couple of 3D battle scenes when you look really closely to the top left of the scan. And, you see one of those ribbon/antennae things next to the heads of Flareon/Umbreon on the left page, making me believe even more it could be a bug type.... (Due to it sparkling)

Edit: on the 3D battle scene, it looks like it may be using a fire move?!

In any case, I really am stuck on Normal as a possible type here, because usually when you have a Pokemon if another type, there's some sort of distinction on their body that gives it away(of some sort, anyway). This one looks pretty Normal to me, unless they do create a new type.

Look at my post before this^ also, on the battle scenes, it's glittering, and using what looks like a fire move....still think its normal?

Tsukiyo February 11th, 2013 10:23 PM

Just to be clear, it could be of Normal type and still capable of using Fire-type moves.

Actually, I'm leaning it to be a Pure Flying type now. I mean, take a look at it's sort of... ribbiony-scarf things. They do remind me of the clothing features that the flying type gym leaders, Skyla and Winona possess.

Maybe that's something?

Well yeah, sure, but that's kinda weird to show it in an Announcment, unless its not a fire move, even though it has flames...I hope it's not flying, they completely messed it up if its flying. My best bet is that it's either a normal or bug. Wait...It's name is Ninfeon? Doesn't that lean towards fighting?

FrostPheonix February 11th, 2013 10:46 PM

If it were flying type, how in the world would it evolve? Flight stone? Normal seems too... normal, gamefreak (hopefully) would never do that to us. I'm guessing at either a new type, which would be nice, or something like psychic. Unfortunately, we already have that as espeon, but it doesn't seem to fit much else other than flying, normal or something of the sort...
Fires seems logical ish, seeing as there is a resemblance to victini. Bow suggests otherwise though. Seems normal, despite my hope that it isn't.
Also, it doesn't look like a bug. I think. The bows? Seem more normal-like than butterfly-bug type. And to be honest, the two things that could be antennea seem to relate to flying more than bug as the person somewhere above said, as it does seem to resemble the flying type gym leaders. Although, flying type would be wierd.

Gyarados, Hoppip, Skiploom, Jumpluff, Gligar, Gliscor, Emolga, Thundurus, Landorus.

All are Pokemon without Winged appendages being part Flying. Gligar, Gliscor, and Emolga have skin like webbing that take the place of wings, but still aren't actual wings. It wouldn't be the first time we've had a wingless Flier.

That said though, I'm shooting Normal. Kinda hope Syddy's Dragon idea is right though cause that would be awesome.

Wobbu February 11th, 2013 10:58 PM

According to the new scans, the new Genesect movie will be called "Extremespeed Genesect and the Reawakening of Mewtwo." Could Mewtwo have some sort of significance with Pokemon X and Y?

Moist February 11th, 2013 11:02 PM

I think Ninfia will be either a Normal, Flying or completely new type (Friendship type? Idk)
But it is really adorable, I hope they release more pokemon this corocoro.

fluffydukki February 11th, 2013 11:04 PM

Not sure if it's been said yet, but I've seen a lot of people elsewhere saying the in-game screenshot looks like it's using a fire move or something.

To me, though, it looks more like the new evolution animation, or rather, the end of the animation showing your newly evolved Ninfia. What does everyone else think?

If it evolves as flying, maaybe it'd evolve at a certain tower? Like if you go to a specific tower, kind of like Glaceon/Leafeon work...?

Maybe it's outrage, as that move does tend to have flames in it's past depictions despite being a Dragon type move. If so than it's proably a hint at it being a Dragon type, either that or it simply knows fire moves, or the new evolution animation as you said.

Perhaps they could introduce sky travel, and if eevee levels up in the sky it evolves into this ;)

Eeveelution Co-ordinator February 11th, 2013 11:47 PM

NEW EEVEELUTION!!!! YYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!! I think it looks like Skyla in my opinion, so it will probably be a Flying Type.

Phoenix-f- February 12th, 2013 1:11 AM

I think Ninfia looks like a domestic Eevee, an Eevee that adapted to home life. Those bows makes me think that someone brought it home and take care of it. I think it's normal type, it looks like Skitty/Delcatty line to me.

What I think about the evolution method is that it is associated with the "a new battle mechanism that allows your Pokemon to become even more powerful when the bonds you share grow stronger" lines. If it's a brand new mechanics rather than friendship, maybe Eevee evolves into Ninfia when this bond is stronger.

lightfurret February 12th, 2013 2:04 AM

I'd say it looks like a light type eeveelution. And it's adds with pokemon X being a light type and pokemon Y a dark one, too.

Else, it's a normal type eeveelution (which seems kinda dumb).


Just a note: This is the new and only single ugliest eeveelution of all time. It's somewhat like Cinccino meets Melotic meets Luvdisc and it's overly huge eyes just freak me out.

Ho-Oh February 12th, 2013 2:12 AM

...small hint to it being flying buut,

http://i.imgur.com/ZgHZnWU.png

It's facing Froakie. Usually the Pokemon they face is stronger than what they are (maybe?) and the only type Froakie's evolution could be would be Ice, and if so it could learn Icy Wind? idk long shot buuut still. :(

Ace. February 12th, 2013 2:35 AM

It really doesn't look like a flying type to me. But it looks so cute <3 omg I'm so gonna use that in X and Y :D

blue February 12th, 2013 2:44 AM

Hmm... It looks similar to Skyla, Im hoping its flying but judging from its design I just cant tell. Also this is the only single Eeveelution weve had unless they reveal another ine next month, but yeah if its not Flying then maybe Normal? idkk. If its a secret then it could easily be a new type i.e Light....

Treecko February 12th, 2013 2:53 AM

I don't know, Ninfia doesn't exactly look like a Eeveelution but sort of. I think it's pretty cute though! As others said , it does look like Skyla and Victini had a baby.But it's still rather cute. As for it's type, it looks like it's gonna be either Normal, Flying or Dragon. To me the bows look like they could work as wings.

I like the idea of it's evolution method being gender-specific. This could be it's female-evolution form and they yet to reveal it's male evo-form. The male form will obviously be cooler looking and and more masculine. It also goes along with the theory that X and Y/Gen VI are gonna based around gentics/chromosomes. I think this is a neat speculation.

blue February 12th, 2013 2:56 AM

Possibly, the Female could be Flying type with the Male counterpart being Dragon since they both have similar characteristics.. assuming there is going to be two.

Haza February 12th, 2013 3:00 AM

I think the creators are well aware that we're gonna speculate on the Light type with each set of Pokemon they reveal... it's getting tiring, but everytime something new is revealed it comes to mind.

Mithel_Celestia February 12th, 2013 3:44 AM

Ninfia...Ninfeon...Nympheon. Bug type? The moment I saw someone mention Ninfeon, I thought "hmm...it sounds like nympheon." Does it bring clues to it's type?

cosmicdeoxys February 12th, 2013 3:55 AM

It had better not be the normal type that would suck! Love the design though she looks awesome. If it was a dragon type that would be amazing but somehow I don't think so...

Platinum Lucario February 12th, 2013 3:56 AM

Awww. x3

As soon as I heard about Ninfeon, I was soooo excited! ^^

Ninfeon is soooooo adorable! Now this is one Eeveelution that I would love to have as one of my Pokémon in Pokémon X and Y. Something tells me that this Eeveelution is rather special, something tells me that this Eeveelution could change to be any type, depending on what other Eeveelution is on your team. It probably starts off as Normal-type but changes type.

But who knows? Ninfeon could very well fit into the category of being a Light-type if Light-type was introduced into Pokémon X and Y. Even though we've known through from Generation II that the Polkadot Bow had raised Normal-type attacks to the holder, but that item was replaced with the Silk Scarf in Generation III and later.

But look at the Eeveelution, we see alot of white and pink colouring, so it does kind of tell me that it could very well be a new type, like Light-type. ;)

But having said that, if Light-type was introduced... what do you think Light-type would be weak against, strong against, immune against or uneffective against? I'm thinking Light-type would be strong against Dark and Ghost types, weak against Fighting and Psychic, and have no immunity or uneffectivity.

Cerberus87 February 12th, 2013 3:58 AM

Has it even been confirmed it's an Eeveelution? The eyes definitely don't look like Eeveelution's eyes.

Miss Doronjo February 12th, 2013 4:05 AM

Here's a bigger picture:

Take a look at the right page; I wonder what attacks it's using?

Hmmm, if Eevee is gaining one more evolution, then it means something else might as well... :D

I think it might actually be a new type, don't see it being any of the current types (doesn't look like a Dragon for example). A Normal-type Eeveelution would be pointless IMO.

On a side note, this means the coding of the games is different from the DS games. In DPPtHGSS/BW there was a maximum of seven evolutions allowed in the code for a given Pokémon (because of Eevee).

It also means there's a pattern of even-numbered generations introducing new evolutions. I'm being strict with the term, though, because 3rd gen introduced new babies as well, but they aren't higher forms of existing Pokémon.

Bluerang1 February 12th, 2013 5:00 AM

Is that it for CoroCoro this month? Any news was good anyway.
