>>32263326GameFreak loves retconning positive things, for some reason.
Remember how Gen 6 had "Mega Evolution is cool because only those with a strong bond and perform it and it superpowers the Pokemon!"
And then Gen 7 had "Mega Evolution causes extreme agony to the Pokemon and makes them into aggressive killing machines and a strong bond is required, but it only mildly suppresses the suffering. You horrible monster, you should be using Z-Moves instead."
Speaking of, Gen 8 will probably reveal that Z-Moves shorten a Pokemon's lifespan by 5 years each time one is used because of that Pokemon having to release extreme power in such a short time without even getting a new form more capable of handling it.
