Its Japanese name - Ninfia - sounds like it comes from the word nymph, plus its English name is Sylveon, like sylph - a wind spirit - so my guess is flying. Also, the diagram of all the current Eeveelutions on the website shows each of them opposite one with a type advantage, and Sylveon is opposite Jolteon (thanks to Pokémemes for that little hint)
Interesting point.
Yes, some have said Sylveon reminds them of a kite, and looking at it it's got some things that resemble streamers on it. Also seemed to have a breeze blowing around it in that video, though it could have just been in set in a windy area. Unless that was a subtle clue in itself. It doesn't seem to be able to fly, but Flying does double as the 'Wind' type in the game. Rotom-F and Gyarados both lack proper flight, for example. Although Doduo and Dodrio are forever baffling, haha.

Time marched on I guess. =x Collectable card games always have lots and lots of cards come out regularly, so they need to invent a load of new ones. There's been 56 sets of Pokemon cards so far (54 in Japan).
