The region the Pokemon is captured in has never mattered. You can evolve a Pikachu/etc from Kanto, Johto, etc. into their Alolan variants, vice versa as well - you can evolve the ones caught/bred in Alola into their Kantonian counterparts. I'd argue they're all essentially branched-evos...

How exactly are they not branched, though? Yes, they're regional forms, but for those three Pokemon there's two different results when you evolve them: their Kantonian evolution or their Alolan evolution. If that's not the definition of branched, then what is? Does Rockruff not count as...
