OK, so here's my theory on what this new info means.
We see 5 forms of Zygarde here, but as has been said by officials, the "Cell" forms are just mindless pieces that don't do anything.
But we also get a 10%, a 50% and a 100% form, in addition to the core.
The "Core" for all intended purposes is the brain and soul of Zygarde. So what that could mean is that the other forms are shells. So feasibly, you could come across the "shells" at different parts of the game, and put the Core into them, similar to how Rotom enters appliances in order to change form.
BUT, here's what I think will happen:
-=-
Z will be set a year or two in the future, after the Weapon has been fired. Geosenge Town will be basically a pokemon center, a gigantic hole, and probably a bunch of research tents, with scientists studying a mysterious energy, which seems to either be sucking the life from the surrounding area, or making things live much longer than expected.
The player will come across Zygarde Core early in the game, probably after the first gym. It will be pretty weak, but probably get moves such as Mud-Slap and Dragon Rage.
As you progress, you will either gather Cells, or come across the Shells. 10% will probably be before gym 4, and will get multiple "Fang" attacks, Odor Sleuth, and probably Dragon tail or Dragon Breath and probably Bulldoze. 50% will be much the same, except obtainable from about 7th gym on. It will have Coil, constrict, wrap, Dragon Tail/Pulse and Earthquake.
NOW, here's where I think everything hasn't been quite revealed. I think there may be another form they haven't shown. A 75% form. And there will be two versions of it. This is where we could have either XZ or YZ, or just Z. Depending on which version you get, 75% form will either have some blue in it, and look a bit like a deer, and will learn Thousand Arrows. The alternative to it will be have some red, and will be a bird, and will learn Thousand Waves (which the attack animation will be of it flapping its wings).
OR instead of the Cells gathering Xerneas/Yveltal energy, it may tie into ORAS, because what pokemon disrupt the environment more than Groudon or Kyogre? So instead of merging with Xerneas or Yveltal, maybe if you give it the Red/Blue Orbs, it will upgrade forms, because Precipice Blades and Thousand Arrows look similar, and Waves are associated with water (like Kyogre). We also see that on each of 100% forms wings, there is a single hexagon that is either Blue (on the right wing) or Red (on the left wing), so could potentially mean that it has absorbed both orbs.
100% form will breifly obtained right before pokemon League, but then all the Cells will return to the kalos region, and you will have to find more to upgrade 75% up to 100% again. 100% will probably have access to something like Draco Meteor and punch/claw attacks.

Of course, we still have very little info, but this is something that won't leave me alone.
