Why is Cosmoem the first mon in 3 gens to have a split evolution? Disregarding Rockruff because they're all Lycanroc.
Why has gf not only abandoned cross-gen evos (which seemingly has an explanation in Eviolite,) but also abandoned split evos, until now? It seems so strange and arbitrary, and gens 1 through 4 each had at least one.
>Abandon split evolutions almost entirely
>Bring them back for a legendary pokemon, breaking the pattern of legendaries never evolving
Why doesn't that table list the different forms of Meowstic?
because the chart is retarded, whith 2 form changes, ad 1 split evolution. OP said form changes are non topic
I do wish they'd make split evos a bit less scarce, I think they add a lot of variety and depth. I guess Cosmoem had the honor of ending that dry spell because they wanted a legendary duo that's part of an evolutionary family, but hopefully it's not an exception and we'll be seeing more of these (and with regular Pokémon, too) in the future.
As for cross-gen evos, they might as well have abandoned the idea completely at this point, but I hope I'm wrong. It was always exciting to see an old Pokémon get a new evolution, especially if it was a favorite.

I think a better question is why Lycanroc is on there, since technically it's the same species in both cases, even if the conditions are different.
To be fair though, I always thought male and female Meowstic would kinda make more sense as separate Pokémon.

We just had Sylveon in Gen 6.

Sylveon it's just a gimmickmon, they abandoned cross-gen evos since 4th gen, and it sucks!!!!
