So, we've talked about this a bit in the evolution thread, but a recent image has been revealed that has pretty much confirmed it.



This is the Japanese version of the Eevee evolution chart that was shown off when Sylveon was unveiled, complete with "???" being used in Sylveon's type. Notice how Sylveon's type is represented as pink. That usually means Psychic, but Psychic is represented by purple here. It's as if they changed it to make room for a new type to be represented by pink. So yeah, the color further points to a "magic" or "fairy" type.

Personally, I would have preferred light or sound but a new type is exiting nonetheless. I have to say, I'm exited for the possibilities of new Pokemon designs that'll come out of this, even if most of them are probably going to look girly.

Thoughts?
