I'm not sure on the new names for each line.
You should ask Mustang Guy about it.

Because
1. they've run out of planets, and
2. the initial motif was one of chivalry, mysticism, knights and stuff like that: remember the older names: Epic, Saga, Quest, Battle, Odyssey, Mystic, Oracle, Vision, etc.

They are simply branding all three lines in a common theme.  Now when they run out of "Epic" or "Horizon" ball names, so does that performance point change.  Then we're on here asking is the new ABC ball a replacement for ball XYZ.  Think about Storm's recent past having the "Flash" line still in place when there wasn't a Flash named ball in the lineup.  I remember that was confusing for me.  When a ball comes out of a certain line and new one goes in, it's easier for us to know what replaces what and it's easier to match up the performance we need in our arsenals
