And so we bring Gen 6 to a close. A few regular pokemon, and then it's a slew of legendaries. Who could have foreseen the plot twist with Carbink? Why didn't they write anything for Zygarde to do? Why is Volcanion? So many questions. We don't have answers to those. All we can tell you is, will these pokemon stay, or will they go.
