After the name "Sylveon" was announced, it made me want to search which word begins with "sylv". Then I saw
this post, and it matched it perfectly!
You know what? I was thinking Light-type was going to become it's type, but then I realized that since it's name is based off the word "sylvania" which mean the trees and forests... it could
still get a new type that relates to it's name. How about Natural-type? Not to be confused with "Grass-type" which does actually refer to nature, but there's more to nature than just plants. Nature consists of lighting, animals, plants, water, wind and pretty much anything that isn't man-made.
But even so, I could still be sticking to Light-type, but there's definitely a chance it could be Natural-type. So either one or the other. Also, on the Japanese Pokémon website, did anyone notice the typing below Sylveon saying "??? type" with the box as a bright pink colour? I know there's another type that has the colour pink... which is Psychic-type but Psychic-type has a darker pink to this one. And also... in nature, some flowers can be bright pink which could also mean it could be Natural-type.
But also, light is also natural and could also fit into the "Forests and trees" meaning, since light fills the forest during the day and the plants photosynthesize. So there's still a chance it could be a Light-type. ;)
But we'll see what the new type will be in the next CoroCoro.
