As someone who's loved the concept of the World Championships since their introduction back in BW, I'm cautiously excited. I still don't love how the show handled the island challenge in SM, so I do have concerns about being let down by the World Championships as well. I do wish they had delved into the finer details a little more, but I understand there's only so much time in one episode and we can't spend half of it going over the semantics of the tournament.
My ideal vision for this kind of tournament would be for former characters + Galar gym leaders to be appear. And by former characters, I mean anyone ranging from former rivals to gym leaders to Elite Four members to champions. If this is supposed to be a tournament for the best of the best, I want to see pre-established trainers competing. If they want to throw some randoms in there at the lower level, that's fine, but I wouldn't want that to be the whole entire tournament. I'd also love for Ash to use a combination of reserve Pokemon and whatever new Pokemon he's (hopefully) going to catch over the course of this series.
Realistically, I don't honestly expect any of this. And will I still, even without high hopes, inevitably be disappointed? More than likely, yeah.
