Man this game is gonna introduce some real wackiness for spinoff media
-What's Horizons gonna do for its inevitable tie-in special? If this happened even one generation earlier the obvious route would be XYZ anime fanservice, but with Ash gone from the protagonist's seat they're gonna have to make the decision on if Horizons is set in the Ashnime continuity or not. If it isn't, what then? For instance, suppose Z-A decides to run at least in part with a plotline about the vengeful remnants of Team Flare. In that case, who defeated them originally in the Horizons universe? What about OCs like Alain or characters best known for their XYZ portrayals like Clemont and Serena, what's happening with them? Now you could point out that the yee-yee-ass Journeys Legends Arceus special just dodged doing much in Hisui and went with a non-descript Team Galactic plotline, but with this game being set in modernity and with no faithful XY remake accompanying it that won't be possible this time around.
-If it's still in operation, what about Masters? Sure, they already have a few classic vs last appearance character alt costumes, namely for BW2 Unova and Kanto guys. But with something like Unova VS Alola Grimsley you're dealing with relatively small in-universe timeskips that don't change much, just a couple of years. What happens to Sycamore, Emma, the XY friends etc when they suddenly face their counterparts from potentially a decade or more down the road? Do the new versions take the old's places as the "defaults"? These questions are probably why they haven't added Alola Red and Blue yet, but they're not gonna be able to dodge them for much longer.
-Lowest rung because it already skipped Hisui but I wonder if Pokespe will find the time for a Z-A arc or if its scheduling is still too cooked to bother
