Now we all know it's due to because they weren't created until Gen 8 but in-lore it's because they were displaced by settlement (Perrin confirms fanciers have breeding stock) to die out in the wild.
Lumiose is a city, had been a city since long before the events of XY and is looking to renovate itself as a city by providing habitation space for wild pokémon during the events of L: Z-A. We also know from context clues, it's after the events of XY, but not so far after the events that everything's utterly changed (AZ is running a hotel, that Flare bint now working as Sycamore's assistant, seemingly, Emma being mid-20's which gives us our clearest indication of timeframes). And of course the elephant in the room, the wild pokémon mini-boses are mega-evolved ones, indicating theyre going full-bore with the megashit and tying it to the plot (why are trainerless pokémon achieving a bond form said to only occur when a pokémon is trained and in perfect sync with its trainer). Th proof is right there in their released canon and the marketing for the new game they're currently pushing. It's not my fault you're ignoring all that to patternfag like a braindead retard. Oh yeah and leaks outright said no regionals, but 26 megas too which is apparently confirmed with M-Dragonite's reveal.
