So at first, I thought Noivern was just a boring Dragon/Flying....but I just noticed it is a Flying/Dragon....meaning that it is primarily a Flying type. It's also known as the Soundwave Pokemon. Perhaps Game Freak is now associating sound with Flying type as well? We already have wind, clouds, fog, and the ability to fly associated with it. Given how sound wouldn't be able to exist without a medium like air....maybe this is why Game Freak made Noivern primary Flying.
I don't think his primary Flying type has to do with sound. I think it's just because he's primarily based on a bat rather than a dragon. Unlike Salamence or Dragonite, who are dragons that happen to be able to fly, he's a flying animal with some draconic elements.So at first, I thought Noivern was just a boring Dragon/Flying....but I just noticed it is a Flying/Dragon....meaning that it is primarily a Flying type.

I honestly have no idea why one would think that Sylveon was a female-only eeveelution. That would make absolutely no sense.

Lol, but it is not a nymph, it is a Pokémon with the word "nymph" in its Japanese name. That is all. Also, there is no such thing as a female-only eeveelution. Edit: You know, there isn't such thing as male-only karate and judo fighters, male-only eagles or female-only vultures and yet we have Sawk, Throh, Braviary and Mandibuzz, Pokémon that may have only one gender. The argument that nymphs can't be male (lolwut?) is not valid because Game Freak just don't give a flying squirrel about certain aspects of the "real life" counterparts of certain Pokémon.Yes, it would. There's no such thing as a male nymph. The name itself just doesn't make sense. I guess they didn't keep it in mind while looking for fairy-related names.

My point is that nymphs, by definition, are female. The other examples you listed don't necessarily have contradictory names. Although, I just remembered there are other Pokemon that have opposite-gender-only names.
Maybe it's just me, but I absolutely hate Litleo's design. It's huge eyes are the worst, not to mention it's color scheme on the entire body. And the ironic thing is that I've been really wanting an actual Lion Pokémon (I don't count Luxray since that's a Mountain Lion). So I really hope the evolution looks a lot better.

Punk rock stars have more of a mane than Luxray. But I guess a lynx would suit it better.Maybe it's just me, but I absolutely hate Litleo's design.

I don't see what is wrong with Litleo I think he's adorable. Also, since when is Luxray a Mountain Lion? He is based off of either a lynx or a lion. And Lynx aren't necessarily Mountain Lions.

I don't think that it means they are connecting sound with flying. I think they're connecting sound with echolocation, which is what bats use to gauge their surroundings instead of sight. Noivern is based equally off of a Wyvern and a bat, hence the strong connection with sound/echolocation. Echolocation itself certainly isn't limited to bats, its found in several species of whale and dolphin, again used to sense things out of visual range/in areas of very low light. Additionally, sound actually travels much better in water than it does through air, so by that logic, sound should be included as a 'subtype' of water. Coincidentally, the world's three loudest known animals all live 100% of the time in the water, the Sperm Whale, Pistol Shrimp, and the Blue Whale.
Sound ≠ Flying
When there are water Pokemon that actively manipulate sound waves in the water, why not? It seems as if you're trying to discredit my assertion by saying that because sound can easily be included as a subtype of water, that it should not be included as a subtype of air.Echolocation itself certainly isn't limited to bats, its found in several species of whale and dolphin, again used to sense things out of visual range/in areas of very low light.
