>>52672142calling a few plot points now:
>new female protagonist is Ash's kid>Ash is somewhere around his 30s by the time this season takes place (to line up with the average demographic of the people who grew up watching the series from the beginning)>the writers aren't stupid: Jessie/James will return, but they're older (age in current anime is 25~, would be closer to 45-50 in the timeskip).>James is Director Clavell, which is hinted at by his love of ridiculous disguises and his purple/black/white/red color scheme.>James' full name is revealed as being "James Clavell", referencing the famous writer.>Jessie is his wife and will receive a similar redesign, who will debut in the games in a small DLC story.
