That means literally every iteration of each character could be different.
If they want Lance to suddenly be a simple bug catcher, then he could be exactly that. It wouldn't affect his ability to still be classified canonically as an Elite Four member or League Champion anywhere outside of the game(s) where he's a bug catcher.
