>>53519676What I mean is that XY could as well be in ICY universe and nothing would change at all in the series, instead fitting enough because it has generally similar Yajima-penned Ash and similar shonen-ish direction.
Also breakdown for the continuity:
>Alexa, a game character, is flexible to be put anywhere, Da! didn't gave her anything notable and distinctive>TR appears in AU universe too>Oak and Delia is in AU universe with same outfit >Dawn's Piplup could be Verity's>Ash owned a Charizard who's never used after ICY>Could be another Squirtle>A special that happened late into the series, might as well that it hardly matters>Steven is objectively rebooted, different VA, different personality>Every AU movies also has mother and daughter cameo>Meowth didn't mention them though? Just a general mention that his relationship was horrible
