Your profile is right: you are stuck into the past and reboot land.Why wouldn't I be? The first episode hasn't aired yet and the preview shows discrepancies from EP001. And I find it ridiculous that they wouldn't at least confirm that Ash's Kanto starters are coming back by now. So no, I don't know for sure what is going on, but I haven't changed my mind just because my opinion annoys you.
Kids are absolutely the target audience. Adults should be used to the minimal continuity and say thank you for the nods, as the show isn't meant for them. Ironically, a reboot could be more referential than the post-DP series were, starting with the rehash of Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden which wouldn't even make sense for Ash's Bulbasaur again (the posters and merchandise prove that some Bulbasaur will recur, rather than Ivysaur).
And these wouldn't be story arcs? Or are you saying that old characters will only be shown one episode at a time and they'll each have to be re-introduced each time? They only did this once for one or two characters in AG, DP, BW and SM and that required two-parters or more. Otherwise, the returning characters are glorified COTDs as far as kids are concerned.
