Yeah, but Go's pokemon don't need to be onscreen together with Ash's either, and Ash's don't need to come back for longer than an episode or so. So it doesn't matter.

Honestly speaking, I'd like Ash last battle against Leon to be a true homage to his beginning. Meaning, I want his last battle to be with his OG Kanto team. Yes, Pidgeot included.
Save his other regions teams for other Hyper Class battles and his current team for a rival or Raihan.

What good would Pigeot do, anyway? He was an average battler at best for most of Kanto when he was on the team prior to evolving, and even when he evolved all he did was strike Onidrill a few times and didn't even manage to knock it out. I find it hard to imagine him getting stronger off-screen while he's part of a flock of wild Poppo and Pigeon, so I personally don't think that him coming back would be anything other than symbolic, and a rather bad strategic choice.

With SM being the most recent anime is it easier to reuse BANK animation in the new series?

With all of Primeape training i’m sure he can KO every one of Leon’s pokemon.

Yeah, my suspicion is that we will see it reused in a 2019 Episode #37.

Ash could be seen training it first, maybe if he gets it back at around episode 50 (or even much later, as long as it's clearly shown it's being trained) and becomes capable of mega evolving it.
As such, it'd be Ash's Mega of choice in the Leon battle too.

Gonna throw this out: Assuming the writers plan on revisiting Ash’s older reserves, I’d like it if some of them evolved offscreen when they return, specifically ones like Snivy and Gible. Just don’t like to see some reserves still being in their original form esp if they’re older and would like to see some of them evolving offscreen out of wanting to see some actual use in the PWC and not back to background filler.

1. Pikachu
2. Lucario
3. Charizard
4. Rillaboom
5. Greninja
6. Dragonite.
Of his reserves I think he would use Charizard and Greninja in addition to his newer captures

I'd rather see the Kanto team be used against Lance since that would be the most fitting, while Leon would be better and more epic with Ash's strongest line-up.
Ignition
We are so back Zygardebros
Pikachu
Sceptile
Greninja
Snorlax
Anyone of his fully evolved Fire starters (I’d usually go straight with Charizard but having 2 in one match is boring)
I guess Sirfetch’d? There’s other Pokémon I’d prioritize but he deserves at least one Pokémon from his current line up and it’s the only one I care about
What I think would be Ash's strongest team possible for that match and why:
1-Pikachu (G-Max)
2-Charizard
3-Sceptile
4-Greninja (Ash-Greninja)
5-Incineroar (Z-move) or Snorlax
6-Lucario (Mega) or Dragonite
Charizard is his OG ace and his strongest non-transformed pokemon. Sceptile has proven himself against Darkrai. Greninja's transformation makes him OP. The remaining 2 slots could go to different pokemon.
Snorlax has shown incredible endurance and is super reliable, while Incineroar was capable of defeating Kukui's as a Torracat, so we can only imagine how much stronger he is now.
Lastly I think they're hyping up his Lucario to be pretty OP, and I can see Ash getting a Mega stone for him. If not, Dragonite has already proven to be very strong against Korrina and can only get stronger by the end of the series.
What I think he'll end up using:
1-Pikachu
2-Lucario
3-Dragonite
4-Charizard
5-Greninja
6-The last Journey's capture or Sceptile/Incineroar/Melmetal (G-Max)/Lycanroc

Kanto is love. Kanto is life.
Honestly, I would like that especially Rillaboom but I have feeling that Grookey may go to Go instead which is fine. At least Grookey gets love as long as Go's Grookey is like Sobble( aka in "main team").
If Ash doesn't get Grookey though, then I have no clue what his 6th pokemon will be, if he gets any at all.

No way in hell is Ash's Lucario going to sit out this battle lol. If Ash ever does get to the finals and battle Leon, it will definitely be with his newly acquired team if it is a 6 on 6 with the final battle between Pikachu and Charizard. Or it is going to be a 1 vs 1 between Pikachu and Leon's Charizard.
Plus, it would make no sense for Ash to use his OG Kanto team and have him bring an inferior Charizard against an opponent who has the strongest Charizard in the world. Unless there was a rivalry between the two charizards, Ash bringing in Charizard for this battle absolutely makes no sense.
I don't think it would make sense to give Ash grookey or weak pokemon based off how the pwc works. As ash advances up the ranks, his opponents are only going to get stronger. So if they give ash pre-evolved pokemon to use while in the process of battling tougher opponents, it wouldn't really make much sense. Especially cause he already has the Riolu and Farfetch'd.

Kanto is love. Kanto is life.
Who is to say that they wouldn't give Ash Grookey or weak Pokemon? Riolu literally hatched and is training to be powerful. Same can be done with that weak Pokemon and why putting Grookey under same basket as weak Pokemon, what if Grookey was strong? Also what if he undergoes fast evolution to become strong Rilaboom. Precisely he has Riolu and Farfetch'd that doesn't mean he's regressing all the time.

I agree with this list completely, however, if Ash does not get Rillaboom then Sceptile would be a great choice to use as well. I still think that he is going to get it and I hope that when he takes on Leon that he has at least one Gen 8 Pokémon on his team since he will be taking on Leon in Galar and it’s the new generation, so I hope that one Gen 8 Pokémon makes the team whether it’s Rillaboom or something else.
