That's the same as every Rider fighting in base form rather than their upgrades. You'll most likely still see the original Decade Driver in most crossover appearances of Decade that don't actually feature him as a focus character since it's the one actually used in his show (unless they actually changed the original prop and don't have it anymore, but I doubt that). It's also the same reason you have Black and Black RX appearing separately in most crossovers.

That comment was about the tv show itself, it has nothing to do with the movie. Shirakura hasn't been involved with tv Rider since Decade and sees every series as their own world since he clearly didn't follow the work done by other people afterwards. He even initially said that New World Build was different from the Build in Zi-O since there are no Riders in New World, before stepping back and correcting himself some time later since that contradicts a statement from Build's producer regarding how New World is the world with the other Riders.

And I'm not talking about the connection of Zi-O to the previous shows anyway, I'm talking about tv Zi-O and Zi-O in Heisei Generations Final. It will be really annoying if those two can't match up (Zi-O meeting Build in the beginning of the movie and acting like everything is normal while Build was never restored in the Zi-O tv series). The future changing soon does give me some hope it'll work out though.
