Second most of the time the evolutions aren't done by one person and in order so there is always some disconnect.
The personality trio is more like the endpoint they want to reach than the beginning. Like the female, Bara, fast trio they arguably had for the past 3 gens and if we can believe the leaks also this time.
So they start with personality trio as starter and role trio for the last evolution and fill the gaps.
