Very rarely do the sequels mention the events of the previous game. Let alone retcon them.
Well, these discussions are probably not about reasonable expectations but rather personal wishes. Most people are aware these retcons won't ever happen

In the original version of 1-2, Redd White refers to the Chief Prosecutor using male pronouns, yet 1-5 states that Lana Skye has been the Chief Prosecutor for the past two years. Ace Attorney Triliogy retcons this mistake out.
Also, in the original version of 2-4, Phoenix says that Edgeworth hasn't prosecuted since he was the defendant in 1-4, but Edgeworth is the prosecutor in 1-5. AAT also retcons this out as well.

I never said that retcons don't happen in the series. I'm saying that the (hypothetical) retcons that will be posted here won't be any realistic expectation, that people know they most likely won't happen.

However, I don't ever see them doing anything about it, as in order to even know about that you have to really study the thing anyway. The only date ever really mentioned in AA is the date of the DL-6 case in 2001. Everything else is "7 years ago", "3 years ago", etc. I just choose to ignore the "in the same year" thing and pretend that the events of AJ's flashback case happen a year later. I haven't had any continuity issues with AJ or DD because moving them all up a year doesn't alter the game since there aren't any dates to my knowledge.
Actually, how was it decided that that case took place months after 3-3? was it just the most logical choice or was there hard evidence somewhere to prove it?
Regarding other retcons, the games are really good about not contradicting each other that much, mostly because due to the nature of a murder mystery the games tend to be very focused on the plot and less about the lore or mythology of the series. Most of the retcons I can think of seem to have been fixed in the trilogy collection (which I haven't played yet).
Oh I have one: explain in-universe why every character in the game has a cell phone about 5 years too old.
I used to have Sam Waterston as my avatar but photobucket added a watermark and also Law & Order has been cancelled for 10 years so it's time for me to move on.

AJ and DD don't give years, but they give ages. Mostly in the Court Record, sometimes in dialogue. Phoenix was 26 in T&T and 33 and AJ, which implies it's supposed to take place 7 years later. Since Phoenix was disbarred 7 years before AJ, that means Zak's trial takes place shortly after 3-5...
However, as it has been mentioned in other topics, the developers didn't do the math correctly. By the end of AJ, Phoenix should have turned 34. The same problem carried on to DD (Phoenix should be 1 year older in 5-3, 5-4 and 5-5; Miles and Pearls should be 1 year older in 5-5). In fact, the only way for all the ages to make sense is if Zak's trial takes place before T&T, in April 2018 (which of course wouldn't be possible, since Phoenix still has his badge in T&T).

Wasn't there a theory that the age in the profiles doesn't take into account birthdays to explain that?
I'm not sure that would solve the problem.

Oh yeah now I remember, thanks for reminding me.
I think that's probably the most valid way to organize dates for the wiki or other data, but considering the developers weren't perfect with it and its such a vague way of counting the years, I still feel like there's room for doubt. I wish Takumi would have spoken about it, although I can't think of a context in which he would have.
Either way its not really a big deal, as I don't think the games or the players get too wrapped up in dates when they're actually playing the games.

Well let's see, we learn that you need to know the face an true name of the victim you are going to channel.
We also learn, a person when channeld, get's there memory cut off from death or last channelment and not knowing time has passed.
When Mia got channeled, it's a if she was looking at the scenario from the twilight realm.
WTF

The name and face was implied in 3-5. If I recall correctly, Morgan's letter had a picture of Dahlia, allowing Pearl to channel her.

I don't see the knowing face and name conflicting with anything from the trilogy. That with Mia is true, though. She did seem fully aware of what had been going on before her channeling. In 3-5 she mentions her and Maya writing notes to each other before/during her being chanelled, but it doesn't apply to when she pops up randomly in trials without Maya having planned it.
1) They DO remember all the events BEFORE their death. It's just that...
2) Mia knows what is going on BETWEEN her channelment in a snap, this is information you would have no IDEA of knowing if your death was the last thing you remember before being channelled.

Like, what Mia said to Dahlia. That her ultimate punishment was to exist forever being Dahlia "Loser" Hawthorne. Not much of a punishment if spirits are unconscious until they are channeled, as SoJ implied. And that information didn't have any impact on the plot either, or did it?
Maybe they are not unconscious in the twilight realm.
Maybe they are fully conscience in the twilight realm and cannot interact with the world of the living only observe.
I think to prevent them to do whatever they plan to when they get channelled, they lose their memories of the twilight realm when they get channelled.
I made a theory about this on DA.
If you message me about any contradictions I made, I will fix it.

Yes. In the letter given to Pearl, Morgan wrote down Dahlia's full name, as well as attaching a photo of her, specifically stating that it was necessary to channel her.
But then a question popped into my head: how did Maya channel Dahlia when she was in the Inner Temple? Mia could've easily written her name in the memo, but what about her face? I don't recall she ever saw her face, not even when Dahlia/Misty attacked her, since it was too dark.
Am I missing something?

It's not meant to conflict with the original trilogy, I just wanted to say that for completion.

Mia could have said in the memo that Dahlia's face was exactly the same as Iris, and since Maya does know Iris, she could have channeled Dahlia.
