>>27761815The point is that, as
>>27760737 said, the XY anime was completely disconnected to everything before it. Unlike AG, DP and even BW, they tried really hard to make the season as self-contained as possible, making only vague references to the previous series.
Having Iris appear out of nowhere for a couple of episodes, and then disappear again for whatever reason, would feel forced as fuck and be completely out of place.
