Just because we don't know, doesn't mean we can't make assumptions or throw out guesses or discuss what we think will be the case.

You didn't speculate though. As soon as anyone even drew a link to G/S's inclusion of Kanto you called it 'apples and orages'. Completely dismissing the notion isn't speculation, it's the opposite. It's shutting down another person's
actual speculation. You didn't say "I kind of doubt that", you outright said that there was no comparison. Which is kind of unfair since you have no way of knowing that yet, and as you said, this thread is just for
speculation. If somebody wanted to post a well thought out, highly supported theory in favour of Kalos being a postgame region, they'd make a new thread.
But to be clear, there are
major links between Kalos and Alola. We've known this for a long time. Let me lay them out:
- Zygarde, a generation 6 legendary, is confirmed to be a major part of the storyline.
- Magearna, a generation 7 legendary, comes from Kalos.
- Lillie is clearly not from Alola. Most likely, she is from Kalos, both because of her clothes, and her name, which fits Kalos' heavy flower theme and draws parallels to Lysandre's Japanese name, which is literally lily flower.
- Sun and Moon, thematically, holds a lot of links to G/S/C, whereas X and Y was a painfully obvious homage to Generation 1 in so many ways.
- Yes, I know this is getting into conspiracy territory now, but Magearna has a SOULHEART.
- Kalos has a gigantic sundial, and moondials are also mentioned.
- Maybe the evidence is getting kinda weak now, but Sun and Moon are pretty big files.
At this point some link to Kalos is all but confirmed. This is more links than we've seen in previous games, Kalos is 100% of some relevance. Whether we do get a postgame region has yet to be seen, but it certainly seems foolish to dismiss it, no?
