#saw a few decade old threads correctly predicting the Fairy Type based on Sylveon's Japanese name being Ninfia/ nymph

Random thing I feel nostalgic about: that period of time after Sylveon was revealed but before the Fairy Type was when people couldn't figure out what the fuck Sylveon's Type was so they came up with crazy speculation/theories + the memes and fan art about it

#pokémon #sylveon #saw a few decade old threads correctly predicting the Fairy Type based on Sylveon's Japanese name being Ninfia/ nymph #Unfortunately the same logic was used for Sylveon being a Flying Type because nymphs fly I guess??? #Couldn't find it but I once saw a meme comparing Sylveon's bow with Skyla's propellor hair decoration for evidence that's it's a Flying Typ #Sylveon's introduction was before I started playing Pokémon but I bet if I had've been in the fandom I would have guessed Normal Type #Because Sylveon is pink like Wigglytuff Clefable Snubbul and Skitty etc #And some of those Pokémon became Fairy Type! #I don't know the sources of these images because I found them on Pinterest #Never liked how Pinterest doesn't give the sources of the images it takes :/
