It seems like with the new Generation 7 games out, that Game Freak wanted to bring out an aspect that wasn't really used when it was introduced: Terrains. With the Tapus having abilities that create terrains and the new Terrain Extender item, people could be fighting for certain terrains the entire battle. Maybe this is just the incoherent ramblings of someone who doesn't play competitive but from the few things I've seen, terrains seem to be the new weathers.
