And even if it is actually a different Latias than the one from the fifth movie, they can incorporate the same sort of interest and want from the movie version, which is wanting understand humans and be like them. Just like how Ash wants to understand pokemon. Which builds upon and explores one of the long-running existent themes. That being coexistence between humans and pokemon.
>Example for a what-if episode: Ash, Pikachu, and Latias arrive at a city. This is the first time shes been to one. Ash tells her she might get unwanted attention if she looks like her normal pokemon self. Latias thinks for a moment and has an idea, taking on a human form. This plot point starts and establishes an ongoing thing for later episodes of Latias trying to act like a normal person when around Ash at least in cities or towns.
