Thread: Speculation: New Eeveelution to be revealed next week?

Well, it wasn't announced on the 6th, but we still have CoroCoro to look foward to, so that will at least give us SOME hints.

CoroCoro issues are always released on the 15th, but are usually leaked 3 to 5 days beforehand, that's how it usually is.

If he recorded the show today, it should be broadcast on December 30th or January 6th. In fact, I think that even December 16th and 23rd are possibilities, since Smash is apparently recorded once a month in a batch of four episodes.

But right now I am more interested in Masuda's autograph session next week (on the 14th). He will answer questions posted on Twitter, so he may foreshadow a later announcement as he did earlier this year with B2W2. During the Q&A session in February, a fan asked Masuda about the sequels to Black and White, to which he replied that he would announce some information the following week on Smash. That led to the announcement of B2W2 and the Kyurem Formes. Chances are that the fan who asked that question didn't just happen to do so, since most people had expected to see a third version.

Jump Festa (the event in which Conquest was announced last year) is scheduled for December 22-23, which is around a week after the autograph session. Perhaps that event is what Masuda will foreshadow, but it is definitely possible that only a spin-off game will be revealed then (unless, of course, CoroCoro announces the next spin-off game next week).

So you've also noticed all of this? The only real reason I can see to doubt an upcoming game announcement is that December seems a bit too soon to show a new Pokemon or announce full titles, while at the same time a mere "it's coming" announcement would be too unsubstantial for an appearance on Smash and Jump Festa attendance. But then again, Diamond and Pearl were announced quite early weren't they?

Hmm, if only I cared for Twitter. I'd ask Masuda a question or two myself.

Given the revelation that Ash will in fact not be facing Virgil in the League, I've lost all confidence in an Eeveelution being introduced any time soon. I'm sure it'll happen at some point given we're up for an even numbered generation and either Dragon or Poison/Steel remain undone according to the two possible patterns, and Virgil could even come back to show it off during Episode N, but just not now. Not until the Gen 6 hype train is at full speed.

Someone explain to me how eevee could evolve into a dragon? Eevee evolves due to stones/friendship/environment( icy/moss rock).

Eevee evolves due to many different methods. Stones for Vaporeon, Jolteon and Flareon, Friendship and day/night for Espeon and Umbreon, and Location for Leafeon and Glaceon. If a new Eeveelution were released for Gen 6, it will likely use a new or different method of evolution which could allow it to evolve into a Dragon type.

I feel like a Dragon-type Eeveelution wouldn't make sense. Eevee and its evolutions are all roughly based on foxes. So for a fox to evolve into a dragon...it just doesn't work. I know everyone likes the whole pattern of the special-type evolutions or whatever, but I just can't see a Dragon-type Eeveelution happening.

They can make the new eeveelution (if they are actually making it) extremely rare by making some stupid condition for them to evolve.

For one example that is useful to keep the new eeveelution rare but it seems stupid.
The Eevee must be atleast level 50 and battles in a double battle with a Dragon/Steel Type Pokemon, and BOTH of the must level up at the SAME TIME at the end of the battle (which means if the Dragon/Steel or Eevee level up upon the defeat of first Pokemon in the double battle, it will not work)

In these way that these Pokemon will be rare and can actually become valuable to Trainers.

For me, some Pokemons are meant to be rare.

Does a Water type Eevee make sense? Vaporeon to me dosent look very fox like, I feel like if they could make up an Eevee that lives in Water and make all those other typings for it's evos, they can make a Dragon type or any other they please.

It makes more sense than a fox evolving into a dragon.

Despite being a Water-type, it still retains its fox-like features in its face. To be specific, its face resembles that of the Fennec fox.

Then make the dragon Eeveelution a fox with dragon features. It doesn't have to become a stereotypical dragon just because of its typing.

Hmmm a fox face pasted onto a dragon's body...nope, still doesn't work. Unless you want it to look like something from Deviantart. There's too much contrast between the features of a fox and a dragon. I really don't see how it would be a cohesive design.

Pokemon has done all sorts of weird things. A dragon-fox would be the least of their worries. And I'm pretty sure it would be more than "a fox face pasted onto a dragon's body".

Depends entirely on what kind of dragons were talking about. A good deal of dragons actually do look more mammalian rather than reptilian, especially some of the eastern ones. (some Sea Dragons/Serpents are even horse faced with fur lol) I don't think it would be too much of an issue, Pokemon is mostly fantasy anyways.

A new typing being introduced would be cool as well, but after that last disappointment I'm honestly a bit wary on the new Eeveelution idea as a whole. Virgil just seems to be there to advertise the known Eeveelutions, sadly.

I'm not even holding out on December bringing any Gen 6 news, at most if were lucky something could be foreshadowed, but the best bet is around Jan-Feb for sure on any Gen 6 reveals. I really don't mind being wrong though and getting something early.

Oh duh I didn't even think of the eastern-style dragons. I've been playing too much Dragon Age. u_u
