  1. Actually seeing a new pokemon in a screenshot for the new game makes me really want it 😀 But I’m kinda sad because I wanted a ghost eeveelution..It does kinda look like something from the pokemon musicals, like dressed up with random stuff, and they talk about it’s beauty and stuff. I’m wondering if you evolve it by dressing it up in a musical.. Ninfia could come from Nymph (which stems from ‘nimphe’, an old *french* word) making it a bug type, especially with that butterfly adornment and those very bug-like eyes, also those two top tassles kinda look like antenna, they seem to stay pointing up and the colours at the end remind me of those parasites you get in snail antenna that make them pulsate colours.. or maybe it is a new type, it would be a neat way to introduce one, via a new eevee evolution with a mysterious typing. Hmm so many possibilities, but I’d go with the bug theory, definitely sounds the most plausible

  2. So the Pokemon X and Y will have mechanics to strengthen the bond with your pokemon? And Ninfia is covered with heart bows and the color scheme it has….I think it’s pretty obvious what the evolution condition for this one is!

  3. I’m surprised no one’s mentioned the sparkles coming off of Ninfia in the first page (unless they’re made by the camera). That combined with the apparently secret type and evolution method, as well as there seeming to be only one Eeveelution this gen (Why wouldn’t the second one be revealed in the Eevee short too?) makes me think there’s a possibility that it’s the Light type.

  4. I dont think we can rule out the possibility that Ninfia’s evolution method might have something to do with the double helix in the logo…?

  5. THIS CAN’T BE THE ONLY X AND Y INFORMATION 🙁 I really wanted to know Xerneas and Yveltals type, I seriously thought that Xerneas would end up part fighting because it looks like the master of the musketeers, a bit like Ho-Oh and the Legendary Dogs. And something similar with the weird genie trio and yveltal? And I was thinking, essentially Fire/Psychic is Light type, if you think about it. And this eveelution looks so similar to Victini, it’s ridiculous. It has the same eyes, ears, tail and color scheme. I hope it has something to do with Victini, or else, to me, it’s too similar. Apart from the similarity to Victini, the design is pretty awesome for me. It also could be possible there is a new type, hopefully more original than light, as I kinda thought of Gen 5 as a new start for Pokemon, they were starting to base their generations on places out of Japan, Older characters etc. So Gen 6 to me is a bit like the new Johto. And they introduced new types that gen. I’m probably wrong, but just a thought 😀 Is this actually how little they’ve released? :-O

  6. These are my thoughts, though they may seem Farfetch’d and I may be reading too much into things but oh well.
    If you look at the picture with all the Eevee evolutions there is a rainboiw in the background, plus, except for orange, all the Eevee evolutions make up the colors of the rainbow. And Ninfia has those bows on it. Could they be referencing rainbows? And when you shine a light through a prism you get a rainbow. Perhaps it is a Light type Pokemon?

  7. inb4 this Ninfia is shiny.. didn’t the logo had stars? also, in the Eeveelution poster, Ninfia is all sparkly.. AND they aren’t revealing the type/evolution method… so I’m guessing they revealed the shiny version first to confuse people (also, because of the eevee short)

    This is all a theory of course

    Reply
  8. To tie in with the theme of X and Y I wouldn’t surprised if this is one of the two new possible evolutions. A female eevee would evolve into this while a male eevee would evolve into another new evolution?

    Reply
  9. She’s got to be a flying eevee. Look at her design. She’s a kite!! She has the bows like they do on kites, and she has the ribbons like kites do. And her name could be Kiteon. XD

    So, could this be hinting a new type? What do you guys think?

  11. Is it just me or does anyone else notice the strangely dark silhouette behind Eevee? It has a spiked tail so it can’t be Umbreon. New Eeveelution?

    Reply
    • No, the cover was the silhouette, and the colored eeveelution and the movie information was all inside. We will have to wait til Pokemon Smash for something new, if anything at all (most likely a recap of the leak).

  12. Does anyone else think Ninfia is a Bug ? I mean its “Bows” look like butterflies and its got blue tips of the end of its scarf things. Dont some Butterfly use their wing colour to scare off other animals and stuff that would eat them ?
