The Pokémon Company International is announcing a new Pokémon that will appear for the first time in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y this October. The new Pokémon, Sylveon, is a new evolution of Eevee, one of the most beloved Pokémon since it was first discovered in Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue. Players with Eevee can evolve it into one of seven evolutions, like Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon. Sylveon will be the eighth Eevee evolution.

More details about this new Pokémon and how it evolves from Eevee will be shared later this year.
 
Yep, i have been expecting a new eeveelution this gen. not quite sure what type it will be, kinda leaning towards normal type, lets just hope it gets decent stats in good stats. and i wonder if there will be more eeveelutions announced, and how we will evolve them

A night's rest and I believe it'll be flying type. The way it's things sway in the wind just makes me think of flying.
 
I wonder if they're going to introduce a new type. It looks to me like a normal type, but I heard something about it being something called a 'light' type. New eeveelutions and new types? Cool...
 
To me it seems its going to be a Normal type. Its pink like most Normal type and it has a bunch of bows and ribbons. I think the evolution conditions are going to be winning contest.

At this point in the game, adding a new type would create balance issues.

Would it? I've had some conversations with friends on this subject - playing singles the metagame is a bit different but I've felt like Fighting- and Bug-types are too prevalent for their own good right now. Adding a new type would help make the one-of addition make more sense, and might offer a chance to make the metagame more interesting again!

...or, not. I dunno. It doesn't feel like a Normal-type to me.

With over 700 Pokemon pre X/Y, making a new type would unbalance the game. The cycle of weakness and resistances are perfect the way they are. Its also not that rare for a Pokemon to evolve into their own type. With the way Eevee is suppose to evolve, it evolving into a normal type seems possible. Eevee evolves to adapt. If it does not need to adapt, like a sheltered Eevee, then it evolving into a normal type works.
