>>49586522>>gf stops doing third versions the same gen they introduce a pokemon that desperately needed his own platinumOP pic unrelated?
Third versions stopped in Gen 5. It was just Gen 7 that decided to bring them back in the worst way possible despite the 3DS being capable of DLC.
Also, beyond that-- even Zygarde didn't need a third version. He just needed Sun and Moon to be good and a true successor to Gen 6.
