In Alien Force and I believe Ultimate Alien, Gwen had used her Lucky Girl outfit at least once in both of those series for when she sneaks into Hex's estate. Omniverse is when Lucky Girl appeared more commonly. Honestly though, I liked Gwen as Lucky Girl in the Original Series the most. It felt like there was a much greater purpose and use for her to use that persona in the Original Series than in the sequels.

I wouldn't be surprised if they implement Lucky Girl in the reboot though. To me, it works as a nice build up for Gwen learning her magic abilities. One thing that I really don't want is for Cartoon Network to implement Gwen being a Human/Anodite hybrid again. The concept of the Anodites and Gwen being half Anodite made no sense at all and just felt so generic and typical and not unique. Gwen's better off being a fully human sorceress.

Ashley Johnson isn't a bad actress. She was great in the Last of Us and had some good roles in other shows and films as well. To me, she wasn't bad as Gwen but she wasn't good either. In Alien Force, it sounded like Johnson wasn't even into the role at times and she made Gwen sound a bit obnoxious in Ultimate Alien. In Omniverse though, she was horrible as young 11-year-old Gwen. She most certainly does not fit the role there. To me, Johnson just doesn't seem like the right choice to voice Gwen. The same goes with Yuri Lowenthal with Ben. Just doesn't seem like he's the right choice either. Meagan Smith is the best and true Gwen and just did an outstanding job as her and the same goes with Tara Strong with Ben. I heard a while back that Tara Strong will return as Ben but I really hope that Meagan Smith will return as Gwen and not Ashley Johnson. Johnson's great but she's just not the right choice.

Troll or not, to me, the reboot not having Lucky Girl being the reason for anyone not to watch the reboot just sounds so stupid. The series isn't about Gwen; it's about Ben. That's why it's called Ben 10. Because it's focused mainly on Ben.

The Anodites make sense to me, but the "half-anodite" does not. Anodites should be constructs of physical beings that learn magic, and the Anodite constructs all gain the creator's personality and go and live on Anodyne and when the creator dies the Anodyte lives. So if a character is really powerful and wants to live for a longer time than is physically possible, they would make one. That is what Anodites should be for the reboot. Gwen as Lucky Girl should not be Anodite, but she should make a temporary Anodite just to be Lucky Girl in an episode, so as to ward off suspicion.
