Cilan was one of the best characters in the series in my opinion. It would be nice to see them develop his character more.

I'm not sure if the producers of the series could even afford to use Miyano Mamoru on a weekly basis anymore.

Ahhh, that brings me back to a couple of years ago when we had speculation threads regarding the likelihood of Iris and/or Cilan lasting past Best Wishes. I distinctly remember at least a couple of times that I said that while Cilan as a character had 50/50 odds of lasting past BW because of the role he served, the real deciding factor of Cilan's fate was Mamoru Miyano. XD On that seiyuu's whim, Cilan could literally stay forever or disappear and never be heard from again. IF ONLY WE KNEW MIYANO'S TRUE AGENDA...(sure the same can be said for all characters but not everyone is voiced by Mamoru Motherfucking Miyano)
but lol yes, IF they were to bring Cilan back, no way would they keep him on as long as they had Dawn in Best Wishes for monetary reasons alone. Which is probably for the best anyway. That was what, 8 episodes? And the cameo felt like an afterthought in most of them. 4 - 5 episodes feel like a more reasonable cameo length, but IF Cilan was brought back I wouldn't be surprised if his cameo was even shorter.
Since they did recently establish that Connoisseurs are a thing in Kalos, though, that alone leaves a good window for Cilan to sweep in for a visit. He was only going to Hoenn for a fishing thing anyway; surely a man with a ridiculous number of hobbies wouldn't be stuck there for too long. Kalos by nature gives a lot of opportunities for Cilan to make use of his skills, and really, I think Serena in particular could benefit greatly from his services. I would honestly hope that Cilan's either achieved his S-Rank upon his arrival to Kalos or before he leaves (maybe helping Serena could lead him to that?). Wishful thinking, but since he is one of the older main characters and already went through his main tenure in the series, it'd be nice to give Cilan some completion/closure for his goal. That way I'll feel better for his bros still stuck at the Striaton Gym and their gimmick can become complete again.
Plus, I like what I see in my head when I imagine Cilan interacting with the XY group. His chemistry with Ash was literally the only element I liked at all in the BW trio, Serena I already spoke for, Clemont's good for bonding over ~SCIENCE!~ (and give poor Clemont a break in cooking duty), and I can only imagine Bonnie would find him a lot of fun. Hell, I kinda wanna see Bonnie meet Cilan, then just give her bro a look while saying things along the lines of "Big brother, why can't you be more like THIS? If you were as cool and capable as this guy, I wouldn't HAVE to try to find a girl to take care of you!"
(I'm just totally gonna judge a lot of shit from now on based on how sick of a burn Bonnie can lay on Clemont, I've decided on this >:3)
But, just as I felt about the prospect of Cilan staying or leaving after BW, that's pretty 50/50 to me. Though Connoisseurs existing in XY already helps boost that return credibility a lot. So I'd be happy to see him in XY again. But it's not the end of the world if he doesn't show up, either. It just helps that I can easily picture some entertaining situations with him and the XY group, too. But again, Mamoru Miyano. I wanna say if he got on board for a piece of shit series like Sailor Moon Crystal (even though that's not a long-term project by any means) that he shouldn't have a problem cameo'ing in XY for a few episodes. Guess it just depends on what his rates are nowadays. He's a hot commodity in the anime market. I'm surprised he's yet to get roped into One Piece thus far.
Oh God, please NO! he's annoying af, Cilan and Iris please stay away from XY.
