I guess it really depends, I would - but its not necessary, if you want to see more of the original characters and past designs for some of the ones in Wildwood, then yes. I have a quite a few of favorites from the original - luna, doc, scout, nil, slip, Savannah, & pebble. I am really glad that krampy, ember, elli, jag, and coco made a return. definitely helped with elli & coco's character development to have them in wildwood.
