I'm a little disappointed that if you include mega types that less than 90 new pokemon, less than 70 if you dont include mega types. But were the gengar, aerodactyl, abomasnow, gyrados, and gardevoir actually announced? I missed any news of them.

Not to avoid your question, but to spin off of it and go in the opposite direction. I don't think it's fair that Blaziken got a mega evolution. Just for the sake that Blaziken is in a starter evolution-tier, regardless of how cool or uncool some people view that starter's evolution-tier, I just think now everything kinda loses balance with that reveal (unless every other starter will get a mega evolution, which then I approve).

I checked the search function and I found a similar topic but the thread (involving world openness) made me think of another question.
In this region I know we will be able to travel all around, although levels of other NPC and encountered pokemon may influence us otherwise. But in turn it made me think about gym order. Between the 17 gyms, will we have to go through a set order?: to get to gym "B" we have to defeat gym "A" first? I know like most of the games some areas will need to be unlocked by using certain moves or HM's to travel to the next area or you can proceed to the gym but a sprite blocks the entrance to the next gym. However, what if you could choose a path to gyms "A" "B" or "C" and complete those in any order, for example. Then a certain item or move or HM or quest takes us to the next area where we could complete gyms "D" "E" "F" and "G" or something like that.

Not trying to dive into gameplay, but just checking if there could be a feature like that or if the mapping would be pretty much straight forward. I know I read somewhere that Miryus would definitely have a series of islands but I obviously don't know how much the islands influence gym placement.

Namesake. Glaceon. Flareon. Espeon. Umbreon.  Leafeon. They all go back to names, lol

It could be namesake still. If light type pokemon are coming to fruition, then my guess would be Sylveon plays on silver... as in shiny... as in light. 

I know its not completely thought out, but there are some names in pokemon that in the english translation I just think...REALLY?!?!?
But with the ribbons and what not, its a good chance for normal or flying is my guess.

Finally made up my mind.... lol 
(and yes, I deleted a post from slightly earlier to make some changes)

My gym is going to be a straight path going up four stories with multiple battles along the way. One last battle among the final level.

It is going to be a mixed type,
     but all of the first level will be stage one/ baby type pokemon....and an eevee
          The second level will be stage two pokemon...and an eevee
               The third stage will be stage three pokemon...and an eevee
                    The final stage will be me as gym leader with the lineup

Vaporeon
Jolteon
Flareon
Umbrereon
Espeon
Leafeon
     My badge will be called the Eon badge

Im a pretty classic guy, I would most likely choose to live in pallet town, but something also fascinates me about living in Curulean for the water pokemon and nugget bridge or Viridian for the tough training that goes on there!
