BW, XY and SM all focused on Pokemon from the regional Dex on their first year, I think the same will happen with its series. Also, those Pokémon will still be alive in the TCG, Go and other spin-offs so they have an excuse to appear. This will not impact the anime at all.

This episode is pretty much a Pikachu short but only with Ash's team and Garchomp. I would have chosen something different for this series' possible last filler, as everyone but Lycanroc has already participated in a similar adventure.
