Ah let’s see. I think it’s out of question that they did not have his win planned from the start considering how more comedic and less battle-oriented Sun & Moon was. Some people even thought they were going to drop the concept of Ash doing the Island Challenge half way into the series.
They must certainly have known Ash was going to win when they started planning for PM2019. Which if we look at the production schedule. I suspect they start writing for a New Series a year before it begins. If we look at XY, Alexa appeared in DA! in July 2013. And since an episode is worked on 9 Months before it airs. They must have had some premise of the XY Series planned out in October 2012 when the Alexa episode was in the works.
So we use the same schedule for PM2019 which might have been in the works in November 2018 then they must have known at least that Ash would win when the third and final year started. And the episode in which Kukui announces that The Winner will face Masked Royale aired in May or June I believe. So it means it was written around September or October 2018. So certainly they knew he was going to win when the final year started airing and the time slot change happened to Sundays for sure.
