Reunion movie idea scrapped in favor of a movie focusing just on Ash and Pikachu.
OS characters replaced in the movie except for a single non-speaking appearance from Gary.
Ash's friends in SM getting reduced emphasis compared to previous series.
Team Rocket getting reduced screentime in SM despite being a perfect fit for a more slapstick-oriented series.
Team Rocket not appearing in the so-called anniversary episode, despite being the second biggest constant in the series after Ash and Pikachu. They also don't even interact with Ash in the movie.
It really seems like they're treating Ash and Pikachu as The Only Characters Who Count™, everyone else seems downplayed.
