>>51410012>>51411533Zygarde is in an interesting position.
Since precious little media EVER elaborated on its relationship to Xerneas and Yveltal, it's been softly retconned out of the trio.
GF and TPC have done everything in their power to bury Aura Break and hype up Power Construct instead. Zygarde has stood on its own for two generations now.
Factoring in its place in Alola, which (1) further removes it from Xerneas/Yveltal and (2) juxtaposes it as a force of Earth vs. Solgaleo's Sun and Lunala's Moon, it's clear that Zygarde's role has changed over time.
USUM really should have done more to involve Zygarde against Necrozma or the UBs. That I think was their last chance to capitalize on its assload of "suppress those who endanger the ecosystem" flavor."
