I'm just really curious, why do you have serpate pages of the ppg in 1998 and 2016?
Because they're different versions.
We made a fanficiton special involving the crossover with the powerpuff girls of both 1998 and 2016 series last year,You can check out the transcript if you like : https://ideas.fandom.com/wiki/Powerpuff_Showdown#Transcript
That's really cool!
Thanks
That's a good idea
It's implied that the two groups are the same, even though the show is a reboot.
I generally state this, but for those unaware, the reboot likes to act like it's a "new, different take." and "its own thing" but, it also likes to use the old series as a crutch, and it can't draw the line.
This means that, probably, unless a time travel plot is involved (And let's hope that they don't try) the two groups will remain the same. It's not like PPG-Z where it's obvious that the girls are completely and utterly different characters, they're implied to be the same.
Now, I don't hate the reboot like I once did. In fact, I like the idea of a PPG series that tries to expand upon the world it takes place in. But, regardless, we have to remember that it's not the original series. And it can never be the original series. We have to remember that, the show isn't perfect, and we can't have the original show back. And the attempts to distinctivize and distance the show from the source material, means that it will, most likely, never come to the point where we have an official crossover.
