I guess you could also add Steven returning in XY, but honestly, he hardly felt like the same character. They even changed his voice in Japanese, which isn't the most common thing.
To be fair, AG steven was a glorified CotDI guess you could also add Steven returning in XY, but honestly, he hardly felt like the same character. They even changed his voice in Japanese, which isn't the most common thing.
Not actually mentioned to be anything related to him having powers, it's most likely just Riolu calling for him through auras, but could be a nod for older fans at least.PM2019:
-Ash's Aura Ability (M08 and Riolu Two-Parters)

That can just be a visual representation for Riolu sensing Satoshi's spirit through aura, not him literally sending off energy waves.Well, we did see that Ash was releasing some kind of energy whenever he went into battle-mode.
Even the first time that Riolu (from inside its egg) called Ash was because it sensed Ash's energy which he released during battle against the Tauros.
Riolu also sensed the same energy again when Ash & Pikachu started to fight against the Onix, after which when Ash & Riolu started fighting the Onix, Riolu seems to be using the energy released from Ash to boost its own power (i mean how the Vacuum Wave which wasn't able to damage that Onix suddenly become powerful enough to even scare that same Onix away, once Ash joined up with Riolu).

Look, obviously you guys who are invested into the whole aura idea will want to interpret this as your ideal scenario and that's fine, just rationally speaking it doesn't seem like they're going anywhere with it so don't get your hopes too high, it might just be a nod.
Still, if a character from Johto is appearing, then it is continuity! Reason you mentioned is plausible, but the fact won't change!Elm is more of a reference to the games, they said he was the one who first discovered Pokemon eggs (since eggs were introduced in gen 2) which was never mentioned in the anime before, so I wouldn't really count that as anime continuity (like yeah he was in the anime, but that's not why he was brought up). But yeah this series will surely have more little bits here and there than most.
Kakui will appear in this series, there is no way Ash will not go visit him as he and Burnett are like a second family to him and they have his Pokémon. I will tell you what I am going to make a bet if we don’t see Ash meeting and Interacting with Professor Kakui at anytime that Ash is in Alola then I will put any Pokémon of anybody’s choice as my profile pic, it can be any Pokémon that I don’t like or care for. I am going to pull an @Ignition who said that Torracat would evolve before the SM series ended. So we will see Professor Kakui again before this series ends. Ok I’m keeping my word and can’t go back on itI mean if they reference Elm (still the most underused professor both game and anime) I am sure Sycamore or Kakui will be referenced
