Are they? So if you opened up a Magnemite or any other robot Pokemon there would be like organs n' blood n' stuff? Though I get what you mean, Pokemon is dumb and has no logic or has just a little logic. I guess Steel Eeveelution could resemble a robot, but I just find it silly that a furry little dog thing suddenly evolves into a chunk of metal, like how does that evolution actually happen? Do you use a stone? Do you give your Eevee to some kind of a scientist and it will modify your Eevee into a Mechaeon though actually that would be pretty cool. Though I just think a Steel-type Eeveelution would just be a grey dog with metal spikes or whatevs.
Everyone loves them, this is clear.
If Eevee gets another evolution aside from Sylveon, I think it would be a Dragon-type since it's a formerly Special type and Dragons and Fairies oppose each other in Pokémon.
Is Mawile a robot, too, because it's a Steel type? The Steel type means that the Pokémon are armored with metal or a similarly hard substance, or they are made out of metal.

Being made of metal =/= robot
Robots have their own distinct features, would a Pokemon based on a knight's armor automatically be considered a robot because it happens to be based on something made of metal? The answer is obviously no.
The reason is that they advertised one Eeveelution already, and if there was another, it would be stupid to not advertise the other one in the Pikachu short.

That's a good point, but why would they break out of their tradition? Eeveelutions are very marketable, so why wouldn't they design two of them again? The reason why it didn't appear on the film though was mostly because the only thing we know about the fairy type is that they are super effective against dragons, nothing else. While some people might speculate a dragon type Eeveelution, I expect an Eeveelution that is super effective against fairy types, and those weaknesses haven't been confirmed, afaik. The ones that are speculated though are steel and poison, so both are viable options.
Then there's the fact that Sylveon is pretty much the mascot of the fairy type, and fairy type needs promotion in the lime light, so Sylveon is the way to go. Having another Eeveelution steal even a bit of Sylveon's spotlight is a no-no, since Gamefreak is trying to hype the new typing, as well as keep fairy type a bit of a mystery on what else it is strong against or weak against, so people will be more eager to find out. We haven't had a new typing in a while, so this is a big deal, plus some old Pokemon are getting retyped too, so whoah, what a massive treat.
Though maybe you're right, but that would be ridiculous to not design a counterpart for Sylveon, when they have designed counterparts to in every generation (afaik I'm not that knowledgeable I'm just speaking out of my ass). Though I wouldn't really care if they didn't release another Eeveelution to balance Sylveon, since I'm very indifferent about 'em, but if it's a poison type, gimme gimme.

Remember, that could also be the reason of why they may not make an Eeveelution. It's because of the massive advertising of Sylveon and that they introduced the fairy-type. If they introduced another Eeveelution at the last moment, nobody would care or it could steal the spotlight.

What did you think that I was implying? If it was an eeveelution, then of course it wouldn't be a robot. Eevees evolve in order to adapt to their environment, so why would it become a robot? Also, there isn't anything that you could accurately classify as a robot except arguable the Magnemite line.
Well be that as it may, if we have gotten two eeveelutions every time a new generation of Pokemon games are released, I don't see a specific reason why we wouldn't get two now. I'm hoping for a poison type Eeveelution though!
I get what you mean, but the Fairy-type is clearly the exception to the rule, since as you said, it is a type introduced after the Physical/Special split. Before Sylveon, every eeveelution was from a previously Special-based type and the only one left is the Dragon-type, so if I had to guess the type of the supposed second Generation IV eeveelution, I would certainly say Dragon-type.The Fairy type cannot be considered either a Physical or Special type because it was introduced after the Physical/Special split that occurred in Gen 4, so I cannot see why it would be a dragon.
Are implants really "robotic" to you? How would implants also imply that it would be a Steel-type in the first place? Also, modern technology is likely to use electrical power!

You were the one who, earlier in the thread, said this:

What's wrong with it using electrical power, is it because Jolteon was already made and a Steel type Eeveelution should just be a fox wearing armor and nothing more? It doesn't NEED to have electric-type attacks, there is no rule that says that all robot-based Pokemon have to be Electric/Steel types like Magnemite is, just look at the Porygon family for instance, they're robotic Pokemon and all three of them are Normal types, the Klink family is no different. Also, Eevee doesn't need to evolve specifically based on it's environment, the Pokedex says it has unstable genetics, which implies that, while Eevee can mutate based on changes in it's enviromnent, it can also mutate based on genetic engineering and alterations to it's biology as well.
Generation VI you mean ?
Otherwise, I'm pretty sure if the Fairy type was introduced before Gen IV, it would have been a Special-type. I don't see fairies being too physical. I'm sure most of Fairy-type moves will be Special.

That doesn't mean that Eevee would become a robot by having implants inserted into its body. Porygon isn't a robot: it's an artificial Pokémon created from scratch. It's like a computer program. Also, the Klink family isn't composed of robots! Also, would you expect any scientists in the Pokémon world to genetically engineer a Pokémon that is already genetically unstable? The Pokédex says that changes in Eevee's environment would cause it to evolve.
