Hmmm.......

I actually see how that could be possible, it could fit in with Umbreon and possibly Espeon.

EDIT: Oh wait, Psychic isn't super-effective on those types.........

 

[Bodine]

Psychic is super-effective on Ghost. Ghost is super-effective against Psychic. Dark is super-effective on both, ghost does nothing to Dark and Psychic isn't very effective on Dark. The fact that Umbreon and Espeon exists always made me think they'd make a Ghost Eeveelution.

 

[Tragonight]

Psychic is super-effective on Ghost. Ghost is super-effective against Psychic.

waitwut

I thought Psychic was weaker than both Ghost and Dark?

 

[Bodine]

No, ever since 2nd Gen, Ghost and Psychic are weak against each other. Back during 1st Gen, Ghost didn't effect Psychic but Ghost types were still weak against Psychic.

 

[Tragonight]

Are you sure?

 

[Bodine]

Confusion and Psychic always messing up my Ghosts something fierce, followed by "Its super-effective!"

Yeah I'm sure.

Edit: Nvm, I'm thinking back to 1st Gen. My bad.

lolderp

Psychic is currently super effective against Poison and Fighting, and that's it.

 

[Tragonight]

Psychic is currently super effective against Poison and Fighting, and that's it.

I said that already.

 

[Neosquid]

And I repeated it, yeah.

Anyway, Sylveon doesn't look like a Ghost....if they were to roll that way, they would make it more obvious, and like I said before, there wouldn't be this secrecy.

 

[Tragonight]

Golurk doesn't look like a Ghost.

 

[Neosquid]

Eh, it sorta does. And its backstory makes Ghost make a little more sense as well. It also takes inspiration from a suit of armor.

That still doesn't matter. The rest of the Eeveelutions look like their types, and Sylveon doesn't look like any type (not counting Psychic) aside from normal. I've been over the secrecy bit too.

 

[Tragonight]

It looks creepy enough to be a Ghost type, imo.

Tenin in Japanese folklore are ghosts that appear as beautiful women in traditional kimonos. Get this, their wardrobe usually consisted of bows and loosely worn scarfs that blow about in the wind.

Bows and scarfs.... hmmm...

All the other stuff in your post has been countered with arguments I can't be arsed t' find again (yes, I wasted my time scouring Google 'bout Sylveon's type, not that I expected an answer)... but not that one. Still, we're talkin' 'bout this adorable Normal-type lookin' Eeveelution. The argument makes sense, but it literally is the complete opposite of it's aesthetics. As such it's a hilarious stretch for this t' be true. On top'a the point Nick made; Eeveelutions all look their type; even if Sylveon had another form which changes it from lovely t' fugly, it wouldn't be consistent with past Eeveelution designs. T'is a valiant argument, but it's too outlandish IMO.

... In all honesty I also want a Ghost-type Eeveelution. Not 'cause it'd make sense (what with Umbeon's existence), but 'cause it'd clearly look cool.

Psychic is super-effective on Ghost.

Golurk doesn't look like a Ghost.

Yes it does.

Holy ****

There really needs to be more info revealed, it's getting annoying having all the speculation be about one Pokemon.

here have some shitty rumors:

A different set of rumours than Snubull mentioned yesterday. This set is about 2 days old but I didn't see it mentioned in this thread.

• The anonymous poster went on to say that Nintendo will release a new Pokémon trailer in mid-March featuring a baby Pinsir and Heracross as proof of his legitimacy.
• Here is a condensed list of the rumored features of the games.
• Main characters are Jean and Jane; names are non-customizable
• Trainer now appears in the bottom screen during battle, with a speech bubble interface holding the trainer commands inside
• Trainers now have their own leveling system that affects how in-game NPCs react to you and grants various bonuses such as increasing capture rate and the rarity of Pokémon encountered
• A new key item called the Whistle can be used once per battle with differing effects, such as waking up a Pokémon or snapping it out of confusion.
• A bond level replaces the happiness meter from past games; higher bond levels grant bonuses such as experience or stat gain for Pokémon
• Bond level bonuses and the whistle feature can be turned off in PvP matches for the benefit of competitive play
• A new item called the Bond-EYE that resembles a pair of sunglasses allows players to view the nature of wild Pokémon and their capture rate
• The Bond-EYE also allows players to see visual avatars of other players and send them messages or trade and battle requests; this feature, akin to the Miiverse function in Nintendo Land, will be the first of its kind on the 3DS
• Wireless co-op is now possible, with one player being the leader and the other aiding in battle
• Players not able to play cooperatively will be allowed to request aid from NPC trainers in their adventures via a juice bar located in every town
• The PokéDex resembles a tablet with a 3D display that allows players to view Pokémon models, read full paragraph descriptions of them, hear their cries, view their locations, compare their sizes and weights with others, and read comments made by other trainers around the world about them
• Excess money can be stored in banks that grant interest and special gifts upon depositing certain amounts
• Using a special wristwatch device, players can travel 30 years into the past which features different characters, younger versions of current characters, different layouts, and different wild Pokémon
• The rival faction is Team Gear whose members wear purple bodysuits with black clock hands on them; they mess with events in the past that affect the present
• In one part of the game, you must catch a Munchlax in the past to clear the road of a Snorlax in the future, suggesting that past generations of Pokémon will be available from the start
• The professor is Professor Bristle and the rival is Ricki, a magazine writer who documents the strange events occurring in the past
• The new generation consists of 99 new Pokémon, many of them baby Pokémon (something Leviathyn writer Ray G. doesn’t want to see) and new evolutions of current Pokémon
• Sylveon is a Normal Pokémon that evolves based on the new bond level; it is the only new Eeveelution
• There will be a total of six legendary Pokémon that include Xerneas (Psychic/Rock) and Yveltal (Ghost/Flying) along with four black and white Pokémon based on card suits: a cobra with a heart-shaped hood and tail, a tiger with diamond patterns, a t-rex with spade-shaped eyes, and a peacock with a club-shaped tail
• Most of the brand new Pokémon will be new type combinations such as Fire/Ice and Dark/Electric (something Leviathyn writer Ray G. does want to see)
• The types of the final evolutions of the starter Pokémon will be Grass/Flying, Fire/Psychic, and Water
