TCG always can reuse old Pokemon with new card mechanics. Not to mention Glastrier and Spectrier doesn't even have their cards yet.
Journeys anime is stupid and don't even depend on Sword and Shield. Ash doesn't travel through Galar collecting badges to participate in Galar League, instead he and his boyfriend spend time in Kanto. And when they actually jump from region to region it is for some stupid filler shit unrelated to games. Even if Ash defeat (or be defeated by) Leon in that crazy international Pokemon tournament, anime writers easily could defecate another year of filler episodes. They already done it with Orange Islands, Battle Frontier and Decolora Islands when Indigo League, Hoenn League and Unova League had their finales, but it was too early for Johto Jouneys, Diamond and Pearl and XY respectively. Pattern of three years was broken before, IIRC generation IV came 4 years ater generation III. And for plushes... are you retarded? They could made like a thousand new Pikachu costumes and then the same thousand costumed Pikachu with Ditto faces. Use your braincells please!
