(Sorry, I meant to clarify that I thought it would be the next region that would receive an arc, probably after an interlude.)
Ghetsis getting his classic design is certainly a possibility, just like with Blue, Misty, and Giovanni, along with other characters getting alts based on their other designs throughout the series, like Elesa and Grimsley. However, I’m not sure if it would be introduced specifically for the villain arc, as so far villains have received new Sygna alts, with Maxie and Archie being exceptions due to the fact that they aren’t straight up villainous in this game and probably because they were already Master Fair units anyway. Most of these older designs were saved for event units and just for the scout system in general, so I can see Ghetsis getting an event unit like Giovanni. They might make a new Sygna Suit for Ghetsis, but they might also not give him a unit at all, like in the Kanto and Hoenn arcs. But if they do either alt, I can definitely see him getting a Kyurem fusion. I’m not sure if they’d need to make an alt for N losing his dragon though, what with all the legendaries coming through rings and all, it could just be another one of the legendary dragons from another timeline or something—maybe a shiny, like in Anniversary Steven’s case.
As for the protagonists, it seems that gym leaders getting villain arc alts may have just been early installment weirdness (for this part of the story, anyway) and we’ve moved on to protagonists and champions getting alts and new characters being introduced. At first, I thought they might just use the Swords of Justice for alts for the Unova protagonists, but Cobalion and Keldeo have already gone to Scottie/Bettie and Diantha, and Hilda already has a mythical alt with Diancie, so they might use Thundurus and Landorus (I’m not sure about Enamorus) and Virizion and Terrakion. They probably will put Hugh in, too. They might even add Colress, but this is just speculation.
While Nate and Hilda aren’t the protagonists, Nate was also featured in the Ghetsis event and Hilda was in N’s introductory event, so they may be more involved. Aside from Leaf, all the player characters have been featured in some way, so this may not be to different. Again, though, this is just speculation.
Also, I didn’t consider Hoenn getting more than 2 chunks, for lack of a better term. In the PML arc, earlier chapters got less story, but got lengthier as the story went on, so we could get another bit unless it was wrapped up really well. (I’ve been pretty busy lately and haven’t been able to finish the Hoenn arc yet, sorry.)
At least let’s hope the interlude will focus more on someone rather than Paulo and Tina. Maybe Lear and his father. Rosa is more of a main character in Masters so she probably will be with the player and Lillie. Maybe we’ll get Hilbert, Hugh, and Classic Cheren (maybe classic Bianca but she’ll probably be studying with Bellis and Sonia). Maybe we’ll receive Benga or the Striaton trio. It was more like who played more major roles in video games.
