Re flag: This doesn't break our rules, but nobody here develops PS so if you want a first-hand answer, you should go to Smogon or maybe check the GitHub repo.

Answer 1

Most likely because gen eight is still relatively new. Showdown is fan-made, so it would probably take longer to code the cries in than an official organization.
