From what I remember of the announcements regarding the Whispering Celestial art change, it was apparently an effort by LOC in their own words "to improve the artwork of the cards". Celestial was a very early rare from back when the PM art was often just a flipped version of the base with some slight color changes. This effort was obviously scrapped after just a single base/EX card change. I'm not so sure it was legal reasons that they only did the one, as much as that they just realized they were better served using new artwork for new cards rather than trying to spice up rares that everyone's going to just junk anyway. I also think that changing a card's artwork mid-stream presented them with more technical issues than they were ready to deal with. I remember there being discrepancies for a few weeks with whether the old Celestial art or the new would appear in game for the thumbnail, battling bosses, evolving, etc.

I'd basically chalk it up to a failed experiment lol.
