Though they simply can't do that. They can't include both sets of Paradox Pokémon without them being forced to adapt the Area Zero plot twice. They just can't coexist with each other.
It wouldn't make sense this time due to the nature of the Paradox Pokémon. They can only use one set or the other because of how the time machine works.
At least Misty, May, Dawn, and Iris got to even own Pokemon that weren't considered stereotypically cute and feminine, such as Dawn's Mamoswine or Iris's Excadrill. In addition the four of them also battled quite frequently. Something happened in XY that made it so the female characters were...
They've been leading heavily into gender stereotypes starting in XY. The female leads got in less battles than before and were only given Pokemon that were stereotypically cute and feminine. I'm not sure if they're gonna change that.
Gyms can only work if the saga is specifically focused on a single region. Doing a Gym quest in a multi-region saga would just place too much of the focus on one region and neglect the others. I think that they're gonna do something like the PWC instead (but not exactly like the PWC).
We got some Gym Leaders like Bea, Allister, Opal, Piers, and Raihan in Journeys even though there were no Gym battles. The Paldean Gym Leaders could appear in different roles.
