And standard cross gen evolutions outside of Eevee hadn’t happened since gen 4 and yet that didn’t prevent gen 8 from reintroducing cross gen evolutions outside of Eevee.That hasn't happened since Gen 4. Since then only one new Eeveelution has been introduced, that being Sylveon, which was only created the then-new Fairy type. Especially recently when the marketing was shifted off the Eeveelutions and onto Eevee itself, making into a secondary mascot role and counterpart to Pikachu. Eevee got its own signature Z-Move and G-Max form, along with being one of the stars of LGPE.
Similarly there hadn’t been a case of an existing legendary trio receiving a new member in a later gen since gen 4 and yet that didn’t prevent gen 8 from introducing new members to the Regis and the forces of nature.
Plus Eeveelution is still a still a focus on Eevee, just because Eevee has been getting more attention lately doesn’t prevent it from getting a new Eeveelution.
Plus considering that Eeveelutions tend to be marketable introducing a new one or two is a good way to hype up Eevee even more.
