>people are surprised that the third version is two games instead of one
Why is that so surprising? Lycanroc is still a thing. Rockruff needs Sun or Moon to decide which form to evolve into. It wouldn't be possible with a traditional third version like Crystal, Emerald and Platinum.

literally just bring back day/night cycle, it's not that hard

Or you know, they could just make it a night/day evolution.
I assume the only real reason is what they ended up doing with the legendaries.
If they just ended up doing a Kyurem or Necrozma game, Gen 5 and 7 could easily have just had 3 games. But since they went the fusion route that's what you get.

Technically, it already is. Rockruff only evolves in the day in Sun and at night in Moon.
>>32705362
Or could have just made it evolve with the corrisponding stones have it happen at the specific time of day.
>>32705349
yeah there were too many gimmicks to put them together really
but let's be real, who cares? the differences are so minimal
Gotta have a new exclusive form for the dogs. We all know they're both likely to get one. The question is if they get new secondary typings...
>>32705391
Moondog should be Rock/Fighting, since it's partially inspired by Ashita no Joe.
>>32705349
Just retcon it to normal day and night evolutions they wouldn't make them version exclusive for the rest of the series

>Ashita no Joe
>>32705418
>>32706146
I will accept both of these.

Going by your logic we'll never get another solo game again because of that furbait
