>>23475862In the same generation as Arceus, there was the event where you could bring an Arceus to the Ruins of Alph, with, again, less indication than with the Azure Flute
The point is, the complexity argument is pure bullshit when they could have, oh, I don't know, included pamphlets going, "See this symbol on the spear pillar? Go there with your new azure flute!" or any number of other methods
If anything, I'm of the mind that they didn't release it because Tweaking and the Surf Glitch allowed for uncontrolled access to Darkrai and Shaymin, but not Arceus, so this method was them going, "Maybe we should stop with letting them capture the events themselves to prevent this from happening again", with Victini being the very last captureable event as it could have been that part was developed before they made the decision and they weren't quite committed enough to the idea at the time to just out right remove Liberty Island
