I have high hopes for the World Championships, this could give us some much needed enjoyment with battles after the Sun and Moon series.

The subtitles of episode 18 reveal that all regular Trainers and Gym Leaders in the PWC start at the Normal Rank, regardless of their previous achievements.
Proper battles with Brock
Right. Even ignoring the Kanto Gym leaders he didn't beat (the most likely to show up since Kanto gets the most attention), we also post-game facilities bosses from after gen 3 (he did battle Palmer though), various Elite Four and Champions, I think BW2 Gym Leaders (didn't play gen 5 so I can't comment).If the writers want to retread gym victories (do they?), that's fine, but I don't see the point when there are so many game characters that Ash didn't defeat or even fight to begin with.
This concept is a great chance to bring back old characters and introduced ones that were skipped earlier, like some Elite Four members and Gen IV Frontier Brains.
It could be Forrest with some of Brock's Pokemon. Yes, Delia isn't the first character who lent her Pokemon to a family member.
Agreed, but chances are that won't happen.
Why bring back old characters and let people out of the Not Animated Prison when you can just make up a COTD, say he or she is a great trainer, and call it a day?
Mind you, I'd like to be wrong, but I know this series too well. Especially THIS saga (even if it hasn't been going on very long)
Have you watched the latest ep subbed? It's very strongly hinting at a rematch with Lt. Surge.
Didn't stop Dawn from entering the Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup despite being a Pokémon Coordinator. And as evident from his rather recent fight with Kiawe, he still enjoys a good battle regardless of his profession; so much so, that he even acquired Mega Evolution.Don't see why Brock would enter the PWC, since he's focused on becoming a Pokémon Doctor (unless they decide to say "screw it, Brock's a Gym Leader again", which I really hope to Arceus it won't be the case).
-Ash will likely sit down during many episodes just so Go can catch a Cherubi or something making him passive again.
Well, yeah? I mean you can't expect Ash to be active in every episode. Even previous sagas didn't have Ash take the lead role in every episode, so this is sort of a weird prediction to make imo. The best compromise would be that Ash might do some training in Go focused episodes so that he isn't just sitting on the side lines, but I don't even see that as compulsory.
