I see it happening when the gang are at Aether paradise for the first time, Nilihigo comes through the Ultra Wormhole and as Ash steps up to battle it we see him turn into XY Ash through quick pans of his updated SM self from shoes, shirt, to his hair and which ends on his eyes followed by a upwards pan starting from his feet up to his face, his entire SM design redone in XYstyle.
I genuinely think it could happen if SM goes darker towards the main plot. I can't see Aether and Lillie and Lusamines arc done in the current art style without it losing some intensity in it.
I mean, could you imagine the response if none of his updated self was shown in the episode previews? Everyone would lose their fucking minds during the episode when it went down.
