Fair enough. They might not have known at the time that the exclusivity contract would be torn-up or expire, so it might be incorrect to label it as a deliberate red herring.

It does however illustrate the point of never say never, since they eventually (once they were legally able to) changed their minds.

They did, of course more recently pull an actual red herring recently with the Reveal of the Psychic Element.

Also also, from Live #47:

Question: So what are you going to do with the teams of Air, Cold, and Earth?

Sydney: I think a lot of people were saying for example, “If Team Cold didn’t win, Sooza will never be on an island.”

Matt: I will remind everybody that the Monster World is vast and that there are still many locations, many mysteries to solve, to discover. So, “Never say never” of course, those monsters aren’t available at this time in MSM1. But, with the continued exploration of the Monster World and different expeditions of monsters being led by Fire elementals exploring more of the Monster World, I may just stay tuned, keep an ear to the ground, because never say never.
