UPDATE

: The Pok

Beats a box of chocolates, eh?

Check out the original story below.

Eevee fans certainly aren't spoiled for choice when it comes to evolving the little Normal-type monster in Nintendo's various Pokémon games – in his debut he could ultimately take on one of three advanced forms, and over the years that number has expanded to seven.And now, eight.Joining Flareon Glaceon and Leafeon as the newest "Eeveelution" in the Pokémon franchise is Ninfia, an all-new monster just revealed in the most recent edition of Japan's CoroCoro Comics. Ninfia (that's just its name in Japan, mind you) is a pink-colored take on the same style of quadrapedal creature design as all of the others and comes equipped with two butterfly-shaped "bows" attached to its body, both of which are trailed by two long "ribbons" whipping in the wind.

That's pretty much all we know about Ninfia so far, though. CoroCoro did not confirm its type, leading Pokémon fans around the world to begin theorizing as to what it will be. Normal? Lots of Normal-types have pink bodies. Bug? The "bows" do look like butterflies. Flying? Ninfia's design does bear a resemblance to Sklya, Pokémon Black and White's Flying-type gym leader, and the whispy "ribbons" could point to that too.

And then there are those claiming Ninfia is the first of an all-new, 18th type of Pokémon. "Light," perhaps.

That kind of speculation will likely continue for a while, but more information on this newest Pocket Monster should be unveiled when the next Pokémon movie hits theaters in Japan this summer. It's set, as always, to be accompanied by a Pikachu short film – and this latest short will feature the little yellow series mascot interacting with all of the different Eeveelutions. Perhaps we'll even learn Ninfia's method of evolution as part of the short film's plot?

Lucas M. Thomas is voting for Flying-type, and not just because Flying is his favorite type. (There needs to be another mono-Flying besides Tornadus.) You can follow Lucas on Twitter, @lucasmthomas.
