True. The only reason why I only brought up RSE is because it's the closest thing to SwSh, although I didn't know that the anime takes into account regional dexes since XY to a certain extent as I haven't been playing Pokémon since BW.
There are many Kanto and Johto Pokémon that can't be found in Hoenn, but that didn't stop the writers from featuring those unobtainable Pokémon in the Advanced Series, even before FRLG came out. If anything SwSh's situation is much more similar to that of AG rather than BW. It's very unlikely...
People honestly have high expectations on Ash remembering Pokémon he once stumbled upon, and so they keep on disappointing themselves.
Piplup is a special case. Dawn must've left a very good impression on Ash unlike Serena and it's my canonical thought.
