CoroCoro Magazine just revealed the newest Eeveelution for Pokemon X&Y to be Ninfia.  As of now, it's unknown what type this Pokemon is, and the method of evolution.  Fans online are guessing that it might be a Bug type due to the ribbon looks like a butterfly.  Also, a Flying type due to its design similar to Skyla, the Flying-type Gym leader from Pokemon Black and White.  Or it can be a brand-new type that's going to introduce in the newest generation.

Pokemon TV app Announced and Reviews

A new app is now available for iOS devices called Pokemon TV.  This app allows you to watch free Pokemon episodes.  While there are only about 50 episodes now, the app promises to update weekly to include more episodes from the 15 seasons run off the show- which are over 700 episodes.

Also from February 15-18, the app will feature the newest movie Kyurem vs. The Sword of Justice.  Which is great, because I've been meaning to review the movie so this will be a great opportunity.  Also, on February 15, the app will also have the short Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade.  What a great way to catch up on missed Pokemon episodes.

I tried the app on my iPad already, and I have to say that I'm really impressed by it.  The quality of the video is excellent, and the loading time is super fast.  Interface is really friendly as well.  I can't wait for the app to have a more complete collection so I can have a Pokemon marathon from the beginning to the end.

Score: 8.8/10
