"The company" refers to that company. I'm sorry to say, but I forgot the exact name of the Spanish Official Nintendo Magazine.He's employed by the Spanish Official Nintendo Magazine, not Game Freak.
That's still baffling. Only two days ago he felt the need to deflect speculation about a new type by pretending that Sylveon's type was Flying, but now he suddenly has permission from Nintendo to tell us the truth? There has been hype about a new type since February and we are probably not going to get any confirmation very soon, so I question the timing.I suspect that some leaks are intentionally released from GF or Nintendo to create hype and the attention centers around Pokémon. Maybe Hiro (who apparently works for Nintendo Europe) wasn't authorized to leak this, and today he was.
But he can be easily spotted even now. He wants us to know that he's the source.Another option, is that by Wednesday, too few employees were aware of this info, and he could've been easily spotted as the "leaker".
While some of the evidence is pretty impressive I don't think so many should be retconned. There is an obvious case for lots of the ones in that picture if a fairy type did come to light. I wouldn't have Chansey & Blissey as Normal/Fairy though, just pure fairy.I'm a fairy type supporter myself (and I also even thought Xerneas would be fairy type) but I'm still a bit suspicious of Hiro's actions. Didn't he get fired after the Black/White shenanigans? Also for the retconning discussion, I've had this image for a while so I'll share it.

A Dullahan Pokemon with the fairy type would be awesome.If the Fairy type is legit, then I hope it's used to its full potential. A person on another board noted that Slender Man of all things can quality as a fairy in the mythical sense.
So your defense is patterns in FANDOM. That is perfectly strong evidence.Deal.Okay, Venator, but if we do get a new type this generation, we all get to act like schoolchildren and laugh at you, okay?
But I'll make sure to quote you specifically and laugh too, then.
There is considerable circumstantial evidence against the possibility of new types. Though what the future holds in unknown to everyone outside of Game Freak, given the circumstantial evidence, it's best to not set your hopes too high in regards to a new type.There's not a good reason that you should just assume that there will not be any new types, either. There's just as much proof that "there will not be any new types" as "there will be more types" so your arguement is invalid. So int he future, that we know nothing about, I will not go back to this exact post, as I will have forgotten all about it, unlike you.
Okay. Given Game Freak's past actions on new types and how premature fan speculation has, in every generation since II, always assumed that there will be a type, that new Pokemon "x" is of said type, and has always been wrong, I'm not sure that their is anything resembling a strong case for a new type.So please, enlighten us with your proof that there will be no new types.
Pokemon who, practically, embodied "Sound" were added as Normal-types, "Celestial" as Psychic-Rock types, and yet others as other types in the transition between Gameboy and Gameboy Advanced, accompanying an entirely revamped Pokemon system. If any time was truly ideal to add a new type, it was then and they didn't add any.
Same goes for many other Pokemon added since then. Even the transition between GBA and DS would have been a good time to add new types, especially for the cover legendaries who represented the very abstract concepts of Time, Space, and Anti-Matter. And for gen V, according to other speculative fans, when Reshiram's (even earlier with Zekrom's) typing was revealed, the ideal poster-Pokemon of the "Light" type was gone.
The circumstantial evidence for the lack of new types is strong, given past examples. It does not rule out the possibility, but the possibility is very low, given the circumstances, and every example cited as "proof" for a new type can be explained pretty well without reaching such a conclusion.
Which countless traditions has Game Freak been breaking? I'm curious.Patterns are invalid, since Pokemon has been breaking countless traditions lately. You not wanting any does not mean that Game Freak agrees with you. Even though there is a chance that there will not be a new type, it's the same chance as the reverse.
And the chances are not nearly that equal.
Given that the same premises were used in every previous generation to support the idea of a new type, (and given the nearly endless design possibilities for every existing type) I find that there is no good reason to think that there will be a new type any time soon, outside of fan games.
I don't really approve of the Fairy-type, since it seems like a lot of things could cover that, such as: anything in the fairy egg group (which is also a reason why I don't like it). It just seems too broad a term. Also, other types are generally an element of some sort, and "fairy" doesn't seem to be an element to me.
That said, if this "leak" or post or whatever turns out to be real, I'd hope they give Fairy a different name. I mean, am I the only one who looks at Xerneas and doesn't see fairy? Sylveon, maybe, but not Xerneas.

No more of an element then dragon, or fighting(unless we count Bruce lee's kicks as energy)~
There's plenty of types that aren't elements but rather more species, so fairy could fair well(see what I did there?)
@Zistal; when is this supposed 'Fairy type' supposed to be revealed/confirmed anyway?
