First of all:Fairy will be a new type. It is weak to Poison and Steel, immune to Dragon, super effective against Dragon, Dark, and Fighting, and Fire and Psychic-type Pokemon take half damage from it.
Sylveon is Fairy-type. Some older Pokemon will be reclassified to Fairy, such as Mawile (Steel/Fairy).
Mewtwo has two new formes, not just one. Both are activated via items.
The professor's English name is Patrice.
The Starter final evolutions are Fire/Psychic, Grass/Fighting, and Water/Dark.
The first Gym is Bug, the second is Fairy, and the fourth is Fighting.
A few attacks will be dual-typed.
There will be a new type of battling style that Flying-type Pokemon and Pokemon with Levitate can participate in.
You will be able to see a Pokemon's EVs at a certain in-game facility. You will be able to boost the EVs through mini-games. It will take about two hours to get one stat to max EVs.
so did everyone see these? from pokebeach.
So fairy type is pretty much confirmed. Yay! new type!
If this is true then that's huge. Dragon would be significantly worse, Poison and Steel would actually have offensive uses, Psychic won't be a worse Ghost type defensively, etc. Just the fact that something could potentially wall a Dragon type and not be Steel is a pretty big development, though this is still not confirmed so I won't look too deep into it.Fairy will be a new type. It is weak to Poison and Steel, immune to Dragon, super effective against Dragon, Dark, and Fighting, and Fire and Psychic-type Pokemon take half damage from it.

The bolbed statement pretty much invalidates the entire rumor.
GameFreak doesn't care about fanmade patterns. There will be no dark/fighting/psychic starter trio.
The 2-hours are probably just an estimation, of course it wouldn't be 2 hours on the dot. I agree that dual-type attacks are pretty odd but hey if Pokemon can have dual-types why not moves?The part about the minigames taking about 2hours to max out a stat is what makes me think those rumors are fake. How would they know that exact time frame? Seems awfully specific. dual-typed attacks also seem to be a bit of a stretch.
Do those type details line up with the Sylveon shenanigans taking place on Pokemon Smash?Fairy will be a new type. It is weak to Poison and Steel, immune to Dragon, super effective against Dragon, Dark, and Fighting, and Fire and Psychic-type Pokemon take half damage from it.

I think we'd have other things on our minds if that happened.Hell I wouldn't care if Jesus himself came down from heaven and confirmed Fairy type. If it's not from an offical source then it's fake.
Bulky rotom that doesn't have to rely on Pain Split for recovery? YES. GIVE ME THAT.Now we could have Rotom-W's that make you guess between volt-turn or volt-heal. Entry hazards countering volt-turn be damned.
Or, Gamefreak made changes to the type chart. People jump on the "new type" bandwagon waaay too fast.How come nobody has paid much notice to Bleck's post about Pokemon Smash and the Sylveon type testing they did?
Sylveon is definately some kind of new type by process of elimination. The only thing I can think of which would possibly upset that is if Sylveon had some kind of new ability which gives it a flat out type resistance it shouldn't normally have.
I doubt they'd even go to the effort of doing the type test thing if they didn't want to build some kind of publicity around its type being a big deal. Even if it's not 'fairy' type (which I think is highly possible) it's definately a new type that's weak to poison.
That said, I really like the new pokemon. Parting Remark sounds like an amazing move. I really hope that Yancham is slow and bulky enough to use it well.
When steel and dark came around, one pokemon got retyped and it didn't lose another type for it. It think that limits the possibilities.Personally if we do get a new type, I just hope it's not called "Fairy-type"
And I can tell a lot of Pokemon will get retyping if it does happen. Then there's Hidden Power...
Which is funny because this generation has a lot of new features, yet you feel like it's the most boring.When steel and dark came around, one pokemon got retyped and it didn't lose another type for it. It think that limits the possibilities.
Let's not forget that in japan some of the types have different names. Fairy could be mythic or light here. (If it happens... IF)
I think the reason it's so hard to stay on the actual info in this topic is because... well... the rumors are actually more interesting.
To be honest, if there's not a new type or something huge like that to shake things up I might not even buy this game. So far it feels like all the other generation announcements.
"OOOWA! NEW POKEMON! LOOK AT THAT COOL GUY! LOOK AT THE SMALL BIRD AND FIELD MONS! LOOK AT THE LEGENDARIES! LOOK AT A FEW SUPERFLUOUS FEATURES TO MIX THINGS UP! LOOK AT ALL THE USUAL!"
And that's why it took me all of gen 5 to play through white once... on double speed... with double exp... with wild battles disabled... and a hacked team... yeah...
Game freak still trolling us by not revealing the types of the legends or the starters
If it affected battling, I was using it on Smogon for quite some time before I even touched the game. When I started playing, I got in a few gyms and realized it really was the same game as all the others. Adding in a bunch of side features really didn't change the experience of going through 8 gyms and defeating the evil team much at all. I finally gave in when I heard of white deluxe, which presented some challenge and variety of pokemon.Which is funny because this generation has a lot of new features, yet you feel like it's the most boring.
They don't need a new type, just make Ice resist Dragons and Poison to be super effective against them and voilá!
