Lord Starfish
Fond of owls
Back when this arc aired, I was under the impression that they might have been rushing to get through everything as fast as possible before Gen 8, and so I figured this could mean that Gen 8 would arrive on the Switch this year... Though since the pacing has slowed back down considerably following this episode and the next arc is moving a significantly less breakneck speed, it's possible that, no, the release of USUM just gave the staff some new ideas and they wanted to get through the regular Sun & Moon story stuff fast so that they could then focus on those new concepts instead. While it does unfortunately leave this particular arc feeling like it really didn't get the breathing room it should have had, I'm just glad to now have some reason to believe that Sun & Moon won't be over in half a year from now.
...Not that we have any guarantee that Sun & Moon won't be over in half a year from now regardless. The pacing of the anime wasn't the only thing giving me that impression.
