Hitting the nail on the head. A lot of the cities and towns in Unova felt so flat and small, that it felt like the rest of the areas got the shaft as they focused more of their attention on Castelia City. Which, when you think about it, other than the great camera angle and 3D-ness of the entire city, there really wasn't much to write home about. I really hope that this new region, even if it's specifically based in France, takes in a lot of the different landscapes and terrains as well as the culture and scenery from all over Europe. There's so much for them to use there, that I really hope they take advantage of it. Basically, I'd rather they not spend as much time focusing on one large location just so we can ogle at it. Haha.
They tried so hard to make Castelia such a big deal, when it really wasn't any bigger than any of the other "big" Pokemon cities. Honestly, I felt like Goldenrod had more to it than Castelia. Nimbasa was interesting as well with the recreational/amusement theme, but I think it didn't live up to its full potential either.
Not only was Nimbasa more interesting, it's larger than Castelia too in terms of population. According to Bulbapedia, Nimbasa City has a population of 150 (239, including all Trainers in the Big Stadium and Small Court). Castelia City's population is 127. The bridges are boring as well, although they're good for hatching eggs.
It can only be Normal or Flying, imo, but I think if they were going with Flying there would be more obvious wing motifs. So yeah, probably Normal. (Although I also would have expected that they wouldn't place so much hype on the Normal evolution because, I mean, Eevee is already Normal type... why would I want to evolve it into one? There are more interesting types to focus on first!) It looks like a cross between Milotic and Skitty. :s I don't think I'm really a fan. I really hope its name isn't Nymphia though (ninfia could be translated as such and... please no. The creepy side of the fandom doesn't deserve a name that caters to them like that).
I don't think its English name will be Ninfia or something like that. All the Eeveelutions' English names end in -eon.
Wouldn't stop them from doing Nympheon but I remembered when I woke up today that they pretty much always drastically change the Japanese names for the Eevees because they're all dumb. (Like Blackie for Umbreon or Showers for Vaporeon.) I saw someone theorizing that this one could be dragon. Each Eevee evolution matches the colour of their type icon and this one has both colours from the Dragon type icon. But I think that's pushing it because the blue part is so muted in the design... although I guess Leafeon didn't have a whole lot of green on it either. :P
All I'm finding about "sylv" or similar word fragments are things about forests or resin which implies grass but we know that can't be it. I'd guess bug if I hadn't actually seen the thing. xD; Heard some dudes talking about it while waiting for the bus today and thought they'd said "Sylpheon" so I gave up on it for a flying type but now I guess I'm stuck back at normal too.
