I remember all the hype and hullabaloo over what type Sylveon was going to be. people speculating right and left, some thinking Flying, others Normal, some holding out for Bug (which was not ever a viable option), still others leaning towards Fairy (which was not technically a type at the time), and those on the fringe banking on Glumprang (which was not technically even word)
But in the end, Fairy it was. and holy catfish, those ribbons are going everywhere! Sylveon, take care of your bows, girl! They'll tangle in your ears and trip you up!
If you take away the ribbons it's terrible generic, but in my mind the ribbons mess up the silhouette something awful. Maybe if they were just bows, without all the trailing? or maybe if it had tiny fairy wings instead? I don't know, its face reminds me too much of Victini, and I apparently don't care for Fairys that much.
I also feel like we're just prolonging the eventual day when Eevee will have an evolution for every type, and I'm not 100% sure I want to get there.
Overall: 4/10
Kind of reminds me of Nui. Fairies aren't that different from bugs, just look at the Tontatta. It has antennae, big, shiny, pupiless eyes, and little butterfly bows.
