Corocoro: Pokemon XY information trickling out

Eh looks bluish to me, but I guess violet is more apt. Same shade. For me purple is the shade of Barney :P

And how can Haunter die, it's a ghost!
 
Nah, Gastly from this episode is.

Turned into a real animal

Then turned into perfection.

So why exactly is Flareon hated so much? It's definately not my favorite Eeveelution, but it's not the worst IMO.

As a Pokemon, it has a stupid movepool. It's a physical attacker yet it doesn't gain any good fire attacks that utilizes its high attack stat (or hell, any physical attack). Even with people requesting Flare Blitz (strongest fire physical that has a recoil damage), Flareon doesn't have the speed or HP to utilize it well.

As a design, personally I think it's lazy. It's just a fatter Eevee with a fluffier mane.

Don't you dare
I didn't say anything~
 
I think there's something in its eyes that are the give-away to its type, and I realize this now. No other Pokemon, including Victini and Audino, have eyes that are that light of a shade of blue. The only other Pokemon with this shade of eyes is Yveltal. Let's put our brains together, guys! We can do this. I'm expecting a new type.

But Pokemon's eyes have never signaled their type.

Hmm, I'm thinking they are Modern type, but maybe not since they aren't green.

I agree, but this would be the first of its kind with this color of eyes, and it also happens to be the same color of a new version legendary. Meh. This speculation is driving me nuts. :(((

I believe one of these to be the answer:

1. New type.

2. Normal type, evolved through contest/beauty/ribbons (making a return in Gen VI).
 
I'm going to assume the eye thing is a change in art style so some Gen Sextants are more easily identifiable. They could also pull a Mew route and have Xerneas be some sort of life-seeder, being a keystone in Poke-Europe's long-term evolutionary growth.
 
I remember this episode but forgotten nearly everything about it... and that's shamefully including the Venustoise. How did that I forget that?!?!?!

Unlikely since a new type will throw the type chart out of balance.

Dark and Steel were only add, since they meant to be in generation one and to stop Psychic type being broken.

2. Normal type,

It clearly a bug type, we will never get a normal eeveelution since Eevee is a normal type to start off with.

evolved through contest/beauty/ribbons (making a return in Gen VI).

Won't happen since Eevee didn't evolve in generation 3 and 4 when contest was in the game

Furthermore ribbons have no effect on Pokémon so you can rule that out.
 
Really? woo gen 6 shiny. Hopefully it's color is unique like the rest of it's siblings aside from leafeon and glaceon who were just a different shade.
 
so wait.....They possibly revealed the shiny version of it? That's weird if true. I wonder what it's supposed regular colors look like.
 
The clearer scan shows it sparkly, as well as the in-game model after being released. Credits to smogon of course.

Sparkles in sunlight. Vampire type.

The scan where it shows all the Eevees drawn in a consistent style does make it look like it fits in better, for whatever that's worth.
 
Also the "swift stars" look pretty shitty if it is for Swift. Swift stars tend to be huge and "strong looking", the stars shown in the model definitely look like something you'd see for a shiny release.

Yeah this one too.

If it is a shiny, it's a pretty lame one. I can barely see any differences. Par for the course for the eevee family I guess :/

Unless the Sugimori art is of the shiny, which would be weird...
