Speculation sounds as if this'll be introducing a new type!
If that is the new evo I'm not that impressed
I can believe it, and it certainly has the bow/ribbon theme that relates to normal types, so i can dig it. I mean I don't think we need more eevees, but a normal type'll be a pleasant addition, to be sure.
I want to believe it's not normal, mostly because I like to think they'd do different eeveelutions before doing normal.
For me the ribbons make me think it might be some sort of flying pokemon. That's my wager. That, or, surprisingly, a new type.
those look like butterflies to me. And ribbons would look cool flowing in the air, so I'll throw in with flying. Or maybe bug, considering how its eyes look.
Its certainly not rock, ground, or steel looking, and probably not poison.
I think it's a flying type.
But doesn't look good imo
It's most likely Normal.
I'd laugh if it did turn out to be Poison tho ^_^
I'm gonna make Bug my final answer.

Thats what i thought, the ribbons also look like feathers at the tips so im going to say flying myself
I've never been a Pokemon person, I used to watch it as a kid, so I guess I know the basics (Is there anything not basic in Pokemon?), but lately I've been wanting to check out the series. I've been thinking about reading the manga Pokemon Adventure. Is that a good idea or should I play the games first?
If it were Bug or Flying, you would think they would make it more obvious.
Bug: add antennas or something and change the color scheme (light green and blue)
Flying: Wings instead of…multiple butterflies attached the body. The color scheme seems fine though. This would be my second guess.
I am placing my bet on Normal. The color scheme seems to give it away (much like all the other eevee designs and their color schemes. Though I wouldn't know what color scheme flying usually has...)
i place my bet on fighting…. although i understand the bug/flying thoughts it reminds me of mienfoo in some kind and the colours aswell could fit for fighting type....

There's a lot of stuff that's not basic about Pokemon, but for now you don't need to know 'bout it. I recommend you play the games, if you want to get yourself into the whole thing by playing something with a touch of nostalgia - you can play Pokemon FireRed (a remake of Pokemon Red with better graphics) or Heart Gold/ Soul Silver (remakes of Gold, Silver and Crystal). In my opinion it's great to re-read the Adventures manga, I myself want to read the whole thing up to Yellow, but if it's Pokemon - you have to play the games, man!
Btw if anyone is curious, its name is "Ninfia". Doesn't really help much in speculating what type it could be though.

The manga and the games overlap, but neither is needed to enjoy the other. Both are very good. The manga for the story, the games for the gameplay. (The games have the same stories as the manga, but not handled as well.)
That said, its the games that make it the behemoth franchise that we keep coming back to, they're where the main experience is at.
It can help a little if we keep shooting wildly.
From what the word makes me think, Ninfia could be from Ninfu, the japanese word for Nymph. That doesn't help much since these are feminine creatures that are linked to nature and woods (and we already have leafeon), but then while googling I found this:
"In biology, a nymph is the immature form of some invertebrates particularly insects which undergoes gradual metamorphosis (hemimetabolism) before reaching its adult stage. Unlike a typical larva, a nymph's overall form already resembles that of the adult. In addition, while a nymph moults it never enters a pupal stage. Instead, the final moult results in an adult insect. Nymphs undergo multiple stages of development called instars."
And that is my shot in the dark. Maybe it is Bug after all.
Considering how clear the designs have been in what type everything's been so far, I think some of you are perhaps stretching a bit in what you want it to be.
The Nymph thing is interesting though, as the whole fairy thing (if we ignore the nature part) fits well with another normal type parallel, with the fairy egg group, where of course most are normal-types, save plusle and minun.
Clafable was bug type too.
I'm pretty sure that a Flying- or Bug-type Eeveelution would be a little more obvious than this. xD
What would be cool is if Eevee got a two-stage evolution. Yeah, I know that's not his gimmick, but it would be a funny thing to see the fans reaction to such a little change.
EDIT: Wait, how can it's name be Ninfia? Every Eevee evolution ends with -eon, right?
Here's a better scan, and now we can see an image from in game that looks like its using a flying type move.

The -eon ending is just for the English names if I'm not mistaken
So its only one Eevee? Ninfia? Normal type?
Maybe it evolves by giving it the Dawn Stone or the Shiny Stone
Maybe it evolves by giving it the Dawn Stone or the Shiny Stone
Doesn't make much sense or it would evolve before, they come up with new methods when a new Eevee is introduced because if said Eevee didn't evolve before when the method existed it doesn't make sense that it does now.
Well it look like either a Flying type or Normal to me, Nifia the N migth come from Normal.
I'm hoping we get some more pokemon and some details not just Nifia.
I wonder why they are hiding the typing, weird.
Hum some people are saying bug due to the eyes and antenas.
Antenas? lol.
Those are the ends of the ribbon of its head.

I was trying to figure out what the antenas were anyway, not me a guy posted that on serebii forums :D.
I am sticking with normal or flying.

Basic as in what? fire loses to water but beats grass? otherwise no, its a pretty complete game nowadays but go some pages back we talked about that already, well the games was what started the series and what I first did, I'm a fan because of the games, even though I still watch the anime and read the mangas so yeah I would advise you to play the games and if you haven't played them getting to know 700 pokemon in a row is probably going to be fun(if you are into that).
–--------
Anyway talking about anime for those interested it seems Mewtwo will indeed come back and figth the Genosect, so its TR creation vs TP creation in the next movie, pretty excited for the movie now, also for the Charizard fans Satoshi is getting his Charizard back this arc and its also going to be part of the movie.
yeah normal or flying seems most obvious.
unless there's a new type like light :ninja:…
it looks cute
it could be normal of fighting
or maybe its a new type!!!!!!
When I first saw it, it made me think of that flying Gym chick, so I was like 'o O o ermahgerd flying type ftw'
but what if this one is actually different and is evolved to like with how you evolve a Feebas?

:D I actually saw that, a lot of people say its looks like Skyla.
Beauty? like i said they didn't evolve the pokemon a certain way before I doubt they will use an old method, that would mean that people in Hoenn/Sinnoh, should know how to evolve it, even Feebas now evolves due to trade evolution because those stats got removed.

Ohmai, I see…
If it IS flying and the ribbon has something to do with it then maybe you have to like get the ribbon in an event or something, put it on an Eevee and trade up to X/Y? [/el shrug] though that would make it more exclusive so I doubt it…

My Eevee also evolved into a Pikachu, I'm glad I'm not the only one.

I think its going to be related to this new bond system that will exist in the games.

Pikeon.

I see.
So it will evolve via bondage. :ninja:
Looks like butt, to be honest.
Looks like Eevee and Milotic mated. Those glassy eyes look kinda creepy compared to its brethren.
I'd say flying . . . . . except I'm not quite sure how that design would make it fly. No wings? I wouldn't say Normal, because it looks way too different from normal Evee. The glossy eyes would make me think bug, but those flowing ribbons . . . . . I guess I'm putting my money on Fying.
The name in the image is "Ninfia", which I have no idea what it means. The closest thing would be ninja . . . . . . . oh dear god please not another fighting type.
Can fighting types be that cutesy?
I like it.
It makes me laugh whenever somebody suggests "light" as a new type. Yeah, sure, okay. (Note: It's only called "dark" type in English, in Japanese it's literally EVIL type)
Seems like Ninfia comes from Nymph not Ninja from what people are saying.
The eyes for some reason I never noticed that on the other Eevees but now that this one made it so obvious, looking at the poster the other Eevees eyes are equal but in diferent colors.
Another thing that people are using as a justification for a flying type is that its the ligther of all the Eeveelutions apparently(didn't bother to check myself).
I'm either going for Normal, or Flying.
Though i'd love a new type.
Someone posted a cleaned version of the Eevee on Serebii
Also it seems like the magazine just focused on the movie(Mewtwo returning) and the short(new Eevee) this month so thats all we are getting in terms of new pokemon atleast from CoroCoro.
I see.
So it will evolve via bondage. :ninja:
At least now we know where those ribbons come from.
Maybe, just maybe, instead of getting 2 new evolutions of eevee with 2 different types, we'll get 2 different eevees–one male (not seen yet) and one female (the one just revealed)--that is of the same type; it would represent the "X" and "Y" theme of the game, through chromosomes. You catch a male eevee it can turn into this, you catch a female eevee it can turn into that.
Eevee normal evo. It has to be.Also, totally using it when it comes out. Its adorable.
So, Nympheon's looking cool. still looking completely like a normal type. i'm amazed there's a debate in this, and I hope i'm wrong because i love egg on my face
