That's a great observation! People often fixate on the "even-Generation-pattern" for new Eeveelutions, but what you mentioned makes a lot of sense:I like the fact that each time new Eeveelution are introduced uses a new method that is new to that gen. I think that stops Eevee from being predictable and I want them to continue that.
Julia Artemis said:Definitely unoriginal but want Steel and Dragon. But if it's a swerve and it's actually Ghost and Fighting that would be amazing!
I haven't really considered what a Steel-type evolved stage of Eievui (Eevee) would look like. I generally view Steel-types as being bulky or heavy, so it's hard for me to imagine an evolved form of Eievui that's a Steel-type unless Game Freak makes its design look sleek like Eievui's other evolved forms.
A Normal-type eeveelution with an ability that changes its typing every 2-3 turns.
I know we don't have every type yet, but adding a bit of 'pazaz' to the eevee line would be cool, as opposed to "here's another eeveelution, but in this type now,". Like.. I feel, this far in, a new type is no longer interesting enough on its own.. it needs something unique, like a move or ability, to make it noticeable.

What about:
EDIT: Or they could just keep giving us new single type eeveelutions for the next 30 years, and if/when they actually run out of types they can think of some new gimmick like a regional variant, dual typed eeveelutions or new eevee-like pokemon.
- Galaran Eevee: Which retains the current 8 eeveelutions but their Galaran forms are from the pool of missing types. (i.e. G. Vaporeon is Poison, G. Espeon is Ghost, G. Jolteon is Steel, G. Flareon is Dragon, G. Leafeon is Ground? G. Umbreon is Fighting, G. Sylveon is Bug, G. Glaceon is Rock.)
- Obviously some of the above don't sound right so what about the Galaran Eeveelutions are Dual Typed? (Vaporeon is Water/Poison, Leafeon is Grass/Ground etc)
- Or the Galaran Eevee just gets entirely new eeveelutions.
- Or they add another pokemon like eevee which gets its own set of evolutions from the missing types.
EDIT2: OR Eevee gets a pre-evolution with a new incense, and that pre-evolution (Ivi?) gets a split evolution into something other than Eevee (Let's call it Oovoo - working name - And Oovoo gets its own Oovoolutions.)
I just want them to keep adding new Eeveelutions. The variations of new Evolution methods is enough change. They need to finish what was started, an Evolution for each type.
