>>58773171It's honestly a completely insane choice to decide to not bring back the XY cast and give them a refresher, specially so since this would have been a chance to give them the screentime and deeper characterization they desperately needed. Some may call it daring, since the obvious guess is old characters returning, but in the same turn, it's just as easy to say it's a retarded as fuck move.
My only guess is that they decided they, as in XY characters, were "hopeless" or "not worth investing time and energy on" and decided it was better to come up with a new "Kalos cast" with only a select few getting to return, of which all the ones returning are very obvious and nigh-obligatory picks and even so there's still some crazy skips like Clemont, Bonnie and Sycamore.
