Yeah def in the special but it's gonna be hard to force some characters in there most definitelyIn the 11 episode series most likely
In the new series 50/50 at best
They couldn’t even acknowledge that Brock and Cilan knew each other or Cilan and Brock. I doubt there would any references tbhIf champions from past regions return, I can see them being vague on whether they are the same Ash met or not
Could be but I think they'll leave it in the same continuity to have Ash being watched by the new protagonists. Just feels like the kinda thing they would doIt could also he a different continuity
