Given when this series is set I have always assumed that an explanation for Kion not being in Lion King 2 would be forthcoming. Ford Riley had to know the questions that would arise from adding all this new material within the time span of Lion King 2.

However The Lion Guard being needed to defend The Circle Of Life in other Countries would defeat The Purpose of The Lion Guard as their job is to defend The Circle Of Life In The Pride Lands.

Even if all of the villains are defeated in Season 2 and Simba does not think that there is any danger to The Pride Lands. I can't see Simba sending The Lion Guard on a Protect The Circle of Life Would Tour. Especially considering that Simba stressed how important The Guard would be during Kiara's reign. In "The Trail To Udugu".

What would make sense to me is that The Night Pride Establishes an alliance with Simba's Pride. The Lion Guard could be away assisting The Night Pride during the events of Lion King 2
