SPECULATION
So this is interesting! It’s the logo for the Eevee short that’s gonna be featured alongside the Genesect movie. It’s a pretty standard logo, and it’s just the name for the short. But, there’s a little, interesting detail.
[spoiler]
See how every letter corresponds to an Eevee? Each one matches the color pretty dang well, and then there’s that last, mysterious letter. Sure, the words themselves aren’t relevant to the Eevee’s, so it’s not like they’re naming all of them by the letters, but there’s something to consider here.
Every Eevee evolution is based off special-based types. Fire, Electric, Water, Psychic, Dark, Ice, Grass; all of them are special types. Know what the only type that’s left in the special category? Dragon. Know what color Dragon type is shown as? A light, purplish color with some hints of blue. That’s the exact color I’d say that last one is.
Sure, maybe it represents Psychic, but Psychic is normally a bright, hot pink. Not really a dim, bluish purple like this. So there is a good difference here.
Now with that difference in mind, they added a bow to fit Espeon in. They could have just made the last letter Espeon, but they added room for it. That’s kinda interesting, wouldn’t you say? The Pokémon are also ordered by generation, and it would be a bit odd for Espeon to be last, they simply could have coloured it differently to let it fit in.
Completely unworthy of being news, the American Pokémon company posted a trivia question that seemed oddly related to all of this:
Thanks to Simbo for the tweet.
Honestly, this tweet is a pretty normal tweet, and there’s almost no reason to talk about it. Still, it seemed oddly specific with all of the rumors floating around. There’s only two days to the big reveal, whatever that reveal may be; to post about Eevee rather than their usual trivia is kinda interesting. Keep in mind this is still pure speculation on our part. Thanks to NeoGAF again for the heads-up.

Hopefully, the announcement on the 8th clears up all this speculation; but we can say one thing for a fact: Pokémon isn’t dying, so thankfully, they’re not announcing the end.

Maybe it could represent the setting of the movie the Eeveelutions are set to show up in?
What if they introduced a dragon type Eevee to complete the special types, then added a new normal-type pokémon like Eevee but a different species, like a puppy or something, and started a new set of Eevee-like evolutions to do the physical types? There’s absolutely nothing that indicates they would do this, but I think it would be cool! It’s a stretch, but the two stars could represent the dragon Eevee and the new base pokémon because one is smaller and one is bigger, so one is unevolved and one is evolved.
probably one of my favorite suggestions. plus it would be benifical to the creators lol as they love marketing these things.
They didn’t deliberately choose “special” types for eeveelutions.
Special types were the ones that were more energy/element related instead of being physical things.
Eevee evolves when exposed to a strong energy source, gaining full elemental powers in the process.
Both of these had a similar train of thought for choosing, but the latter is not a consequence of the former.
In short, eeveelutions just happen to be special types because both are very elemental.
well rock type and ground type are physical types and they’re pretty elemental, I’d even say they’re more so elemental than psychic and dark types.
The preview of the episode BW108 shows eevee use iron tail. The new eevolutione is steel?
so with Genesect being Bug steel-type it could be a bug or steel Eevee!
There are other rumors, but I see them as 100% fake.

Yeah, author was confirmed to be trolling. I know that I post rumors that are like that during the lead up to game launches, but I didn’t feel like giving him more attention for games that haven’t been announced yet :p
ya i know , there are plenty of people who make jokes in this period of time, when something is going to be revealed. poor guys 😛 but i like your rumors the more 🙂 love them 😀
New eeveevolution with a new type.
The starters will be Grass/Flying, Fire, Water/Poison
The legends will be about nature, with the epic mascots being Grass and Ground
The villains are Team Gaia (their goals are similar but different in each version, one being pro-nature and the other anti-technology. Both are the first villains to use more natural oriented types instead of Dark and Poison, either focusing on Ground or Grass (like Sharpedo & Camerupt) depending on the version)
The third legendary is Poison (but will get a pure Water form in the sequel)
The traditional legendary trio are Ground, Poison and Ice types all with a secondary Dark type and are hidden in special underground caves.
Many Hoenn characters show up during the plot because the regions are very close.
This is so as to set up the stage for a Hoenn-game 15 years after RSE, which is the time these games also take place.
There is of course a bunch of new Pokemon (~90) including a 3 stage fish, a Grass/Ground “Oddish-clone”, an Electric starter-like Gift pokemon, a Dark/Flying-bat, several interesting Ice combinations, an Electric/Psychic levitating Pokemon that looks like a galaxy, several exotic underwater Pokemon like catshark and underwater volcano, a 3-stage fossil that is Rock/Dragon, a freaky Bug pseudo-legendary… along with a few new evolutions too (Banette, Luvdisc, final Eeveelution, alternate Trapinch evo…) and babies (Skarmory, Torkoal, Tropius..), bringing it up to 750.
But the casual roles are palyed by older Pokemon (Magikarp, Tentacool..) again, with barely any Unova pokes.
The advenutre gives a lot more freedom, so the 1st and 8th gym are fixed, the other 6 can be challenged in any order, their levels simply adjust depending on your number of badges.
There is an extra Normal gym at the beginning which gives you the badge case.
Some of the interesting locations are a heavy industrial area (which also inhabits a Poison/Steel gecko->komodo dragon), several stone-henge like places, an abandonded lighthouse, a forest with 3 areas, a long snowy mountain that consist of 3 routes, a sacred Dragon mountain, a huge underwater diving area and a desert with “aquatic” looking Pokemon ‘swimming’ in the sand.
There are some game mechanic fixes, like a more balanced type chart (most noteworthy being Ice resisting Dragon/Ground, and Poison being SE against Normal/Dark..)
Stealth Rocks are nerfed, but more hazards are added (Burn and Paralysis spikes), along with new ways of getting rid of them.
HMs now don’t need to be learned, you just need to have a Pokemon that can use them in your party when needed.
Assist/Challenge are standard options from the beginning.
Arceus’ formes now also have different stats, 120 HP, 120 speed, one 150 and one 130, with the rest being 100.
I read this on pokebeach. Hope it is real.
Love the pro nature and anti tech team, the type combos
! But i hope its fake. Poison SE against dark?? Wtf. Poison was a better type when it was SE against bug.
How about an eevee pre evo or better yet… A NEW EEVEE THATS A DOG!
Why does this picture start showing up everywhere NOW?????
Where were you a month ago when we debunked that thing as inaccurate, duh.
It does seem like we are getting an eeveelution, but the picture is simply wrong and not a hint to that at all.
The exact same stylized title is on this page
http://www.pokemon-movie.jp/pokemon/short.php
without the pink bow separating the 2 words.
Espeon is purple. And the last symbol.
Random thought
Not saying I think were getting a dragon eevee evolution but if we do I hope the name is more along the lines of Galeon, Drakeon, Wyrveon/Wyreon, or Scaleon than the often said Dragoneon, Draconeon, or Drageon.
im confused. Espeon is represented by the “bow” symbol. It’s not last its between Umbreon and Eevee.
and you were WRONG! 😀 I effing knew it!
THE ONE THAT IS ? IS ESPEON THE ONE THAT IS EPSEON IS NINNFIA !!!!!!
