Legendaries and a couple of Specific Pokémon manage to retain their original name, all the rest get revealed and change their name from Japanese to English. Given how every Eeveelution have different names between Japanese and English, I'm pretty sure Ninfia is the Japanese name, so when it translates to English what ever they put in the front it must end with an eon. However based on Leafeon and Glacion's Japanese/English name, their is a high chance that Ninfia's English name will be Ninfeon.

Now about evolving it, I think it will a be a new Item that will be introduced in Gen VI that specifically evolves Eevee into this new Eeveelution. I guess they could use a currently known item but recent Eeveelutions don't require the use of items to evolve so it doesn't necessarily need an item to evolve.

Finally about it's type, I am certain it is a type that hasn't been used for Eeveelutions so far and from the looks of it, Ninfia looks like a Flying Type. Any other Type that hasn't been used just doesn't suit Ninfia's looks and because it looks elegant Flying fits it perfectly. I guess it could be a Normal type as well but with other Eeveelutions being Pure Types I highly doubt this one will be a duel type and I also doubt it will be a completely new type.

Either way I like the looks of Ninfia and I it will be a nice addition to my collection, who knows it may be on par with my favorite Eeveelution which is Espeon.

Ninfia IS the Japanese name yeah.

Looking at Ninfia, I really really REALLY doubt that it's a new item. It will make use of the current item, the Prism Scale. Here's a picture of that scale, it resembles the patterns on Ninfeon.

I like the new idea of Ninfia/Ninfeon. I like how it gives us an entire new Pokémon altogether. I can't wait to see more information on Ninfia itself. There is going to be so much speculation on how to obtain Ninfeon. Speaking of speculation, I'm speculating that for there to be another evolution for Eevee as there were always two per every new generation it was released in. 2nd Gen: Espeon and Umbreon, 4th Gen: Leafeon and Glaceon, 6th Gen: Ninfeon and ??????

I really do hope for there to be another Eeveelution. :pikalove:

Well... it's a hell of a lot better than Glaceon and Leafeon >.>... Still waiting on my poison-type Eveelution.

Eveelutions always come in pairs, I wonder what the other type will be?

I'm still waiting for that Dragon-Type Eeveelution. lol

Indeed. I am surprised to see that they went with Flying type this time [allegedly]. Odd.

It would be odd if this Pokemon was anything but Flying-Type.

Oh ****, what if it's the new Light-Type ppl have been talking about?

The colours on the Prism Scale and Ninfia may vaguely be similar, but I don't think the colour of an item is enough to say that it will definitely be used. It's plausible definitely, but not decisive. There are many other plausible ways to evolve Eevee, and seeing as Ninfia is likely to be a flying type, it's possible that the item that is required to evolve it is a flying type based item, that's if Ninfia even needs an item to evolve.

Highly doubt it. I don't even think new types will be introduced, otherwise they would of revealed them by now. and looking at Ninfia, it doesn't really look like a Light Type to me.

>implying anyone knows what Light-Type even looks like (lol)

To me, it seems it could be either or. If you look at it as a Flying-Type you can see how it would be a Flying-Type, and if you imagine what a Light-Type would look like I'm sure this would seem like a Light-Type.

Also, I feel if they were to introduce and new type (I'm sure they will eventually) I'm more than sure they would make the Eeveelution they are introducing into that game the new type they are implementing.

But of course I could be wrong.

Moving on, let's take look at Ninfeon. Hrmmm..... Well. I say she's Xinn's new favorite. (Of course.)
Tied with Espeon actually. Ninfia is cuter, but Espeon is a cat =P

Personally I still want the English name to be Nympheon, since nymphs are actually a thing. I think "Ninf" may just be a Japanese transliteration of nymph for the name, honestly.

As far as how it evolves, as long as it's not location based I'll be happy. Also I would love for it to be a flying type, we need more pure flying types. Those ribbons would look so kyoot flapping in the wind up in the sky >w<

I sure hope so. After all, the name I coined is still speculation. Who knows in a month or 2- Heck a week or so the name could be Nympheon. Time will prove me right, or prove me wrong.
 
New Eeveelution Announced!

Spoiler tag for those who didn't want to find out about it until the game was released.

Called Ninfia in Japan, I believe. I'm not sure if the type was announced. Any thoughts on a new Eeveelution? I'm thinking it has a good chance of being flying type.

To me it seems most likely it's a flying type. That really seems like the only thing that fits unless Nintendo threw a curveball at us and made it a double-type of some kind.

My friend and I were discussing this throughout the day today, as we just got word this morning about this announcement. I actually really like the design of this particular Eeveelution, but I'm stumped on what its type could be. We both agreed that there's a high probability for a Flying type, but we weren't quite sure. My friend mentioned that it could be a Normal type, but I quickly rejected the idea because I took Eevee (a Normal type) into consideration. I would love confirmation on this Pokémon's type as soon as possible, but I suppose patience is a virtue.

The only types that I could see it being are Flying, fighting, and normal.
I know normal seems weird, but why not evolve into a stronger pokemon of the same type?

I do know that I want this cutie added to my party ^^
