They'll never release new Pokemon/moves/abilities/items through patches. They have such a strong focus on local multiplayer, thus they don't want someone to be out of date and unable to battle/trade with someone who has a newer version.

So as soon as the event legends are released, people who don't have them will still be able to see or receive them through battle/trade.

I can understand patches involving everything you listed not being practical to the everyday player, but seriously. Have they not realized by now that their "elusive mythical piggymen :ooo" can be easily obtained through cheating devices for the past FIVE generations? FIVE. GENERATIONS. It still fucking baffles me that they keep them a secret just to extend a generation's lifespan. With patches, this is basically the best possible workaround to keeping muh events actually secret.

They care less about "muh secrets" than about local multiplayer. Likely the only thing they would possibly add is new forms, but even then they still do that pretty sparingly.

Let's take a look at gen 5, shall we?

The genies all got alternate formes.

Kyurem got 2 formes (I don't fucking care if they're considered "fusions", they're still alternate formes with alternate base stats)

Keldeo got an alternate forme, and it was purely cosmetic.

Meloetta got an alternate forme.

That's seven formes for thirteen legendaries. That's over half the amount in Gen 5.

Also
>They care less about "muh secrets"
Then why don't they reveal the pokemon right from the get-go if they don't care? Tradition?

Was Meloetta ever released without her alternate forme?

Genies got added in with Dream Radar, and the rest with BW2 around the same time. 7 formes for 6 Pokemon out of 156 that gen is only a few. And they were all added in one update (the BW2 games).

Meloetta can change formes upon using Relic Song in battle.

I'm not talking about the enormous 156 roster, I'm only talking about the legendaries.

There's no point to limit it to the legendaries. Out of the 156 Pokemon they released that gen, they only released 6-7 new formes partway through the gen, one of which was purely cosmetic. And they released them all in one game as opposed to spread out over time.

Hence why I said they only release them sparingly, because compared to all the new Pokemon/items/abilities/etc... they release every gen the amount of new formes they introduce is very small. And since it was limited to only legendaries, we likely won't see much more than a Zygarde buff since only 3 non-event legends were introduced in X/Y.
