Corocoro: Pokemon XY information trickling out

Hmm Ninfia has Skyla's colors, could be flying type?

The ultimate hunting species pokémon from pre-historic times revived as a fossil cyborg by the regional evil team. An entire anime arc partially tie-in with the movie. The freaking star of the first movie.

This movie has everything to the best Pokémon movie from all time. And you just know that they are going to fucking blew it :(
 
I reckon Ninfia will either be Normal, Bug or Dragon.

Normal: Well, look at it. No overwhelmingly obvious type giveaways in its design, and pink is a reasonably common colour for Normal-types.

Bug: The ribbons resemble butterflies, a nymph is the name for a certain type of immature bug.

Dragon: Tenuous, but we've seen pink ribbons very prominently featured in relation to dragons very recently with Iris and her champion's dress.

Out of these, I'd actually say I'm willing to believe it's Bug, with Normal just behind and Dragon pretty unlikely.
 
I like the design, though the eyes are a little off-putting.

Also, I hope Dan Green returns to voice Mewtwo, assuming he speaks.
 
I'm SLIGHTLY being won over to the idea of bug being a possibility. But I still think flying or normal are far more likely candidates.
 
I'm guessing Ninfia is a Normal Type evolution of Eevee? I can't really see it being any other type besides normal, since Eeveevoltions design's usually match their type and this one doesn't really match any known type.

I guess it kind of makes sense that Eevee would finally get a Normal type evolution. I suppose this evolution is what Eevee would normally evolve into if it's DNA was stable.
 
Like the design a lot more than Glaceon's, and I'm going to guess it's probably Normal, Flying or a new type (as to why they are keeping it a secret...but what do I know?).
 
I struggle to see how else you'd do Bug without fundamentally changing the look of Eevee too far.

Hell, the same goes for Dragon, too.

Eh?

Give it bug eyes and wings. Bugeon.

Give it scales and wings. Dragoneon.

There's no way Ninfia is either.

The Eeveelutions all have very uniform designs.

Seriously, look at the scan with all of them on it. Look at how they've all got exactly the same eyes, just with different colours.

The look of the Eeveelutions is cutesy and mammalian. Bug eyes and scales take away from that.

Not anymore than a fin and fish skin does.

In actuality, the Ninfia revealed here is one of two formes of a bug-type Eeveelution.

And the Vicious Forme

Why do so much people want another type? Is there any sort of thing you want in the game that can't be added with the current types? I mean I want some sort of Chimaera made out of parts of several Pokémon and that would probably not fit in anything right now but as always they could give it Dragon type. And there's always Normal. Light type is flawed to begin with as Dark type is actually Evil type.

And this Ninfia pokémon doesn't look like a Bug at all. A Bug eevee would have, like, bug eyes. I'm betting on normal.

Truth. Truth everywhere.
 
So this is it for Coro Coro? Just curious...never kept up to date on the release of Pokemon info till now.

We have the most important information of all: Mewtwo's return.

Although, I do wonder what the plot is supposed to be? Considering Genesect is a modified predatory insect, I wonder if he is going to hunt Mewtwo? Or is Mewtwo going to suddenly and inexplicably challenge him in order to establish which of them is the most savage? Have no clue.

Unless something weird has happened with Mewtwo that I don't know of, Mewtwo in the anime is supposed to be nice now. So he'll just show up to show how Pokémon aren't supposed to be tools that humans can use and fight a Genesect, win, but then he'd be beaten by the rest of them until Ash does some shit that makes the Genesect realize that even though they're Bug terminators they can choose and free will and shit.

Also, he'll beat the Shiny Genesect by using Psystrike.

So he's pretty much the Pokémon version of N now?

I won't be surprised if this is 90% accurate :P

The second Mewtwo movie shows he'd most likely be there to defend the world.
against Gen V Pokemon. teehee!
 
I can see the bug now in Ninfia. The ribbons could be representing moths or something.

Considering the context so far, it seems like the Genesect aren't being controlled by TP at least.

The concept of good design is really strange these days.

oh please, you guys think Charizard is a good design

Well I don't know, I can't say I've watched the anime a lot. But he ended his movie having learned the value of life so obviously he'll be totally a nice guy now.

To see Evil Mewtwo again we'll have to wait till he gets back in Smash (plz plz). What a fucking badass.

Mewtwo would get destroyed by Genesect.
In the anime? No, they wouldn't have that many Genesects if Mewtwo was going to be beaten by just one.

In the games? Bitch please, Fire Blast.

oh please, you guys think Charizard is a good design

Charizard is generic but boss as fuck.
