Why are simple cosmetic changes so hard to implement?

[Bishop81]

Because not all the pet glamours would be implemented like that most likely and then what do you do about the ultimate moves. Wouldn't it be awkward to see carbuncle use an enkindle that clearly doesn't belong to them?

I don't see anything wrong with the carbies using Aerial Blast or Earthen Fury.

Aerial Blast is just a brief cyclone. Earthen Fury would look fine with the Topaz Carby having the same color.

That's not a 'fix' it's a hack, and a poor one at that.

A hack is better than nothing.

They can "do it right" later.
