Probably, but I think it's a genuinely good idea

They served two purposes.
First is nostalgiapandering to guarantee sales
Second was for the Let's Go games. They're obtainable through in-game trades there, and it's very obvious their new typings are there to fill gaps in the original Pokedex by giving you more Ghost, Dark, Ice, and Dragon types.

Either way Exeggutor, Marowak, Ninetails, and Raichu were all great

Alola was the one region that could get away with it. There was no excuse for prior regions or especially Galar to lean so heavily on Kanto shit. Thematically they played it up as Hawaii's historical relation to Japan and its story had deeper callbacks to Gen I than just the Pokemon itself. Last time they fucking tried to make the world feel cohesive instead of just being a platform to shill you new merch. If Kalos and Galar weren't as fucking embarrassing and actually had identities of their own, Alola's "pandering" would be significantly more beloved than it is. Imagine making a region based on the country that Pokemon allegedly were discovered in the old Japanese only Pokedex guide books and doing fucking NOTHING interesting with it

Didn't the leaks show off that more Gens were supposed to get regional forms?

Opposite actually. They removed some of their ideas because they had cross-gen relatives like Scyther, Snorlax and Rhydon
