>>56256953Honestly I would have seen a continuation of the series with Chloe as the protagonist, combining her design with SV's protagonist would have made it seem like everything had been planned.
And it would have coherence, you have a rookie trainer that connects both stages of the anime and the pretext to bring old characters as a cameo.
>>56256748It doesn't make much sense to use Ash and Paul again, at most watching an episode focused on Ash and his life as Champion having to deal with sponsors, fans and learn about the competitive ranking system, and with Paul adapting to his life as Ground Gym Leader like preparing his battle arena, the rotation of his team depending on the level of the challenger, perhaps to feed the lore showing the tests that one must pass to be named an official leader.
I can easily imagine an episode where Paul and his Ursaring discover an Ursaluna reserve and face all the bears there, forcing the Bloodmoon Ursaluna evolution through combat (script liberties).
