I could see Ninfia/Sylvion being a Bug type. Maybe I'm just making something out of nothing, but those bow-ish things kind of look like butterflies, so Bug? I dunno, to me the whole design screams Normal, so maybe just a Normal type?
I agree. It's not as though the rainbow was added in any particular way to signify anything special. It's more or less just eye candy for the background as far as I can tell. It's too much of a reach in my opinion to say the rainbow plays any sort of significant part to Sylveon, it's typing, or its possible connection to the rest of the Eeveelutions. Honestly, I just prefer they keep it simple with this. A new Eeveelution with its own special way of evolving and its own type just like all the others.Or it could just be a promotional add-on by the company that's promoting the movie(The Pokemon Company, I think?) just to make it look prettier so it could sell a lot more, cause companies are like that. u___u Not to be a killjoy or anything like that, really.
I thought this was cute and funny.

Apparently there are more Gym Leaders other than Iris and Skyla that have Ribbons and Bows in their designs XD
Love how the artist highlighted the ribbons and bows in Sylveon's colors.
All part of the plan. An ambiguous Eevee is type ambiguous, and it can cause the biggest buzz around a game, and we fell for it, big time. Don't mind though, cause in the end someone's gonna be right, be it the flying type or a new type. Personally still going with a new type, but not exactly love. Something more....elemental perhaps, but still a bit mystical.They certainly chose a good Pokémon to release early.
If only one thing had to come out of next month's CoroCoro, then I pray it's Sylveon's type.
Starter evolutions won't be released until much later in my opinion. I mean, for B/W it was like, two weeks before the release and if they reveal it sooner it might kind of kill the hype/wondering that is generated by that.
