Remember the theory that the simplest explanation is the correct one? There aren't two regions, people. Get over it.

I don't think you're fully grasping what I mean by recycled assets. In S/M, all the Pokemon models can be expected to take around 1.3, maybe 1.4 GB in total.Not really. You have to realize Kalos would have to be completely redesigned, then textures and models would need to be applied, potentially doubling the file size of the Kalos region making Sun/Moon possibly reach 6GB in size. While 3DS Cartridges can hold 8GB, it would be unreasonable to have a 3DS game be such size.
Honestly they only included a previous region once, and that was in the original direct sequel with no precedent of how RBY should expand. Since then they found that they can cut off the existing world and make a whole new independent region (RSE), they found that people will buy a whole new game just to access another region (FRLG), and they found that they can create new post-game areas to complement the current region without dumping an entire old one in the game (Sevii Isles, Battle Zone, etc).
I wouldn't expect two regions (one new and one old at least) ever again unless it has Gold, Silver or Crystal in the title.
Yeah, Gen 2 was a rather unique situation in general. I've read that it was Iwata who compressed G/S enough for them to fit the Kanto region in the first place. My pet theory is that by the time Iwata made more room for them, the design of the Johto region was close to completion. So rather than the crazy amount of work it would take to flesh out Johto, they decided to tack on Kanto, which they already had the blueprint for. Whatever was gutted from Kanto was what they couldn't manage to fit.Honestly they only included a previous region once, and that was in the original direct sequel with no precedent of how RBY should expand.

Uhh, pretty sure that's Dragon Pulse, or even just Dragon Breath.New z-move spotted. I think this one's for Dragon https://youtu.be/MS_IV5U0F-E?t=8

Aside from Zygarde just what loose ends are there to tie up in the plot of XY? The origin of the sundial? It came from space, I honestly don't expect much more explanation than that (though we may get a bit in Sun/Moon).I still think the possibility of us going back to Kalos is quite real. A lot of the plot of XY was never finished since a Z version never came out. And since SM has Zygarde and we have the strange souvenir connection I could see them putting us going back to Kalos in the post game to tie up the loose ends that XY left us with plot wise.

But a lot of those don't strike me as loose ends as they weren't at all important to the story.I think it's the implied lore which people want to see most, other than a Zygarde arc. Just who were Kalos at war with, in AZ's time and quite recently? Just what is the secret behind AZ Floette, and why was its model included (though that one drives me nuts; could be as simple as Floette's return being originally intended for our battle against AZ) in Gen VI? Who are the Draconids? Did Lysandre survive? Who was AZ's younger brother, and what happened to him? Does Kalos exist outside of the Mega Evolution timeline, or was it actually destroyed as a result of AZ's ultimate weapon, or the lack of it?
Pokemon hasn't been much of a world building series. There's traces of it here and there, more so in the last 2 gens, but it's never all that cohesive or conclusive.
For something like AZ's Floette, the explanation could be as simple as them changing the ending up a bit. Perhaps the original plan was that he uses it in the last battle. I'm actually fully expecting to see AZ and his Floette in Sun and Moon's Battle Tree.
It would make more sense going to Unova postgame. Pokemon equilavant of Hawaii and the US.
Kanto's had enough games.
