This was already explained in Gen IV when Professor Rowan explained all Pokémon evolutions have already been discovered. Also they hit the final nail in Gen 5 when they introduced the Eviolite - an item that only works if a Pokémon has an evoltion, which implies if it doesn't work for others, it's because they don't have it at all.
The way around this was by creating Mega Evolutions, and now that those have been retconned, by creating evolutions of the regional variants. The regulars keep having that Eviolite not working for them, and so it will keep being.
