(most notably in relation to Zygarde)
Part of me wonders if that whole fiasco is why SwSh turned the tables and had the box art Legendaries be the ones to get the super-duper powered-up forms while Eternatus is just kind of a weird unrelated creature from outer space (which admittedly does still have a crazy overpowered form of its own, but this one is just for show), and then the "third version" equivalent simply moved on to developing new Legendaries altogether. Was this them finally deciding to stop shackling themselves with an extra Pokémon that they'd have to get around to fully developing later but might not be able to deliver on in the way that they want, or is it just a natural shake-up after so many years of repeating the same pattern?
