>>37541583Babysitting legendaries is nothing new (Meloetta and Zygarde) but SM really went all out with it.
But still:
>Nebby was part of the story so it's okay.>Poipole at least was properly caught, and it could return in the future like Goodra.>Meltan is apparently getting caught as well.And for the last two, it's understandable that they're released at the end, because the other option would be leaving them to rot in Oak's lab, and no "legendary" deserves that. It's the same reason Greninja was left behind as well.
Mallow's Shaymin had absolutely no reason to exist though. It's not promoting anything (yet) and she's a minor character. It really came out of nowhere.
