So before the DLC comes out and GameFreak cowardly disproves my very smart and especially very serious PokΓ©mon theory for which I have utterly ironclad evidence, I'd like to call attention to a number of Official Zygarde Personality Traits. Canonically, Zygarde:
is unable to Mega Evolve for most of the plot of Legends Z-A, as well as for all time preceding Z-A, therefore including X&Y
dislikes being unable to Mega Evolve, because it knows that harnessing the power of Mega Evolution is vital to protecting Kalos
seeks out the Z-A protagonist for help because they are a strong Trainer who can wield Mega Evolution in a way that Zygarde can't
saved Lysandre from the ultimate weapon
believes in second chances, particularly seeing potential in Lysandre to correct his old mistakes and become a better, more emotionally balanced person capable of doing better things, particularly after losing his memories/experiencing ego death
has its Cells and Cores stored in the Zygarde Cube
gains access to Complete Form, requiring all Cells and Cores, in Sun & Moon onward
could be reasonably argued to "have beef" with Fairy-types, eventually learning a signature Dragon-type move that Fairy-types are not immune to
So, it sure would be suspicious if there was a human NPC, or should I say, "human" NPC, who canonically...
once trained at the Tower of Mastery to learn about Mega Evolution, but "didn't have what it takes" and left
instead recruits the protagonist of X&Y and guides them on their path to help "solve the mystery of Mega Evolution"
has a well-documented soft spot for Lysandre
described the player stopping Team Flare as an act that "also saved Lysandre," way back in X&Y when all reasonable people assumed that Lysandre was just fucking dead
desired for Lysandre to "put his ego aside and lead everything to greater heights"
entrusted a different former member of Team Flare with a new job and opportunity to reform her old life
associated with Garchomp, a Dragon/Ground-type PokΓ©mon
"discovered" the Zygarde Cube, with absolutely zero details ever given about how he "discovered" the Zygarde Cube
tasked his assistants with collecting Zygarde Cells in Alola to reassemble Zygarde's fully-powered form
has not appeared since X&Y, and by extension does not appear in ANY main-series game where Zygarde Complete Form is accessible, i.e. ANY game where all of Zygarde's cells and cores can be accounted for at the same time
most famously and conspicuously, has not appeared in the Zygarde-centric game set in the literal same city that said NPC used to live and research in
has an utterly half-assed excuse about "doing research in another region" to explain his lack of physical appearance in said Zygarde-centric game
had a huge role in scientifically formalizing the Fairy typing. you know, almost like a Dragon-type sick and tired of not being taken seriously when it tried to explain "hey these little pink fuckers SUCK actually" might do.
...But, of course, I'm sure there's not really an NPC like that. Because that would be just too suspicious.
