There's already a thread on the protagonists of the game, but I'd like to have a more generalized thread to talk about the characters as a whole. Could we see other characters' ancestors show up, such as Cynthia, Cyrus, Prof. Rowan, the gym leaders and Elite 4? Do modern characters time travel? Maybe we see the Draconids make an appearance? What kinds of characters do you think will appear in the game?
 
I'm interested to see what route they'll take with the characters. Will we see character ancestors as you said, or will we have a fully original cast of characters we've never seen before?

Personally, I think I would like to see a mix of the two. I think there's a lot of cool concepts they could do if they have these ancestor characters. Some of them could be very similar personality-wise to their modern-day descendants, while others might be different. I think it would also be cool if the ancestor characters don't look completely like their descendants like the player characters do. I think it makes more sense for the player characters, but the NPCs all have some cool unique traits to them that they could keep while changing up the design. Like maybe a Cynthia ancestor also has her eyes, and that same design for her bans, but has completely different-colored hair.

Of course, I would like to see some original characters too. I'm always down for my characters, and I think the games would benefit from having some of them.
 
Considering they're being coy with the Professor, I say the entire game is just made up of identical ancestors. I doubt that outside the updated trainer classes, we'll be getting any original NPCs.
 
I would really like if we kept the whole "identical ancestor" thing to an absolute minimum. Let this game stand on its own without having DP as a ball and chain.

Anyways, I hope that despite the narration calling Sinnoh a vast wilderness there will still be people outside of your initial town as just running around a bunch catching PKMN for the Dex sounds otherwise really boring.

I don't think every ancestor will be identical, just Lucas and Dawn's to maintain a connection to the player. I think if there are any other ancestors present in the game, they retain some similarities while having distinct appearances and identities.
 
There has got to be something about Riley.

"You're acquainted with a fellow named Riley, aren't you? He's a mystifying sort, that one. I have no idea how old he is, to tell you the truth."

I found it interesting that they would deliberately put that line in. Riley is certainly an interesting character to think about.

Oh yes, that's another one. I'd be shocked if there wasn't an aura related character like Riley or Sir Aaron in this game (probably not them, more likely Riley's ancestor).
