>world building goes out the window in many ways just to make the crossover: it generally messes up the timelines of the series itself in order to bring back dead enemies, while at the same time using the 'old' precure attacks from the beginning/middle of their respective series inspite of the newer mid-season cure already being there.
I've got a theory about this.
What if, all precure series take place at roughly the same time?
If you look at not only the crossover movies, but the rare cameo appearances from one series to another, the characters don't look any older at all, characters from a 10+ year old series showing up in a modern one should look at least a little older right? The characters -do- in fact age after all, we've seen as much at the end of series like hugtto and maho and star twinkle.
So if these characters age normally, which they do, but show up together looking the same as they did in their original series, that alone should say something about their timeline placement.
Precure Miracle Leap, one of the most recent crossover movies, makes a reference to Kasugano, Urara while showing her looking the way she did in her series. Being a well known actress, a lot of people would notice if she never aged a day over the past ten years, not that there's any reason why she wouldn't anyway, she's just a normal human, Most precure are.
We the viewer assume it all takes place in real time, one event after another year after year, precure in one region fix a problem, then another one pops up somewhere else. But who's to say that's the case? Maybe all of japan is being attacked at roughly the same time? Why would these villain organizations take turns attacking japan anyway? If anything it would make more sense to attack during an attack somewhere else and take advantage of the distraction.
If they really did take turns, as one might assume they are, then why don't old precure help with new villains outside of crossover movies? Well, if they all take place at the same time then they can't, they're busy fighting their own bad guys.
Another thing to take note of here is that it's very hard to date these series. They don't make many real world references, there aren't cars or electronics or what have you to go off of. Unless I'm mistaken, you don't even see characters use smart phones. For all we know the current season could take place 10-20 years ago. We have no idea what year it is for any precure series.
I don't think they all start at the same time mind you. There's just a large and ever increasing overlap. One could say a few weeks go by after the first series before splash star starts, then another couple weeks and Precure 5 starts. Some time goes by, maybe a month or two and these three groups have their first meeting in "Precure All Stars GoGo Dream Live!", then go back to their own fights in their own regions. Maybe a week or two go by and so starts Fresh Precure, and soon after the events of "Precure All Stars Movie DX: Minna Tomodachi☆Kiseki no Zenin Daishuugou!" then yet again, the four groups go their separate ways and continue doing what they do with their own separate problems. And so it continues on, every couple weeks a new organization attacks a new part of japan, and it also becomes a routine tradition at some point shortly after each new group pops up they all get together to welcome them and kick some arse together.
I think this can help explain why there's no military or law enforcement involvement. These attacks are happening so often while being so wide spread, it can be hard to even keep track of. You might have Fresh and Maho fighting off monsters on monday in their individual areas, then Tropical, Splash, Heartcatch and Princess fighting monsters on Tuesday. And in Charge it was mentioned various times that there are precure all around the world fighting their own battles, all at the same time charge takes place.
This might not explain the old attacks, but this is how you can have dead enemies make appearances in later crossover movies, they aren't dead (yet).
