There are lot's of initial forms used by riders that fall to the way side though. Look at some other Heisei riders. Kuuga Growing Form, Ryuki Blank Form, Den-O Plat Form. These basic suits either come back very rarely or not at all. I think standard Zangetsu is no different. Urobutchi has no toys to push of that suit any longer so I don't think it'll be returning.

Based on what we saw in the first episode. I guess it can be argued that they just didn't want to show powered up forms there, but I'll be surprised if we don't see the energy riders come to an end before long. We do know that things are going to turn into an all out rider war eventually though and that Ryouma and Takatora won't be on the same side. I don't see him continuing to use the energy driver beyond that.. But this is a discussion for another place.

Regardless, base forms are always going to be regulars over powerups, even if the powered up form becomes used more than the regular one.
