when you get to the alola region will you include ultra beasts as sub-legendaries in the game

They will likely be side scenes... but there is also 11 of them, 10 if you skip evolution. Alola already will have a lot going on in terms of legends and mythicals that doing 10-11 side scenes is kinda nuts.
Here is an interesting idea tho, say you finish Alola and breed Necrozma, Solgaleo and Lunala. It seems like its time for you to take the ship and leave but before you can leave you feel an unnatural tectonic movement and Maple mentions there are strange energy readings in Alola. The player is then given the choice to go back and search for the ultra beasts or to leave. Basically make them a optional sub-chapter and have that be the half/half update split. You probably can't make pairings for them because there may not be enough characters for that... but if chainsaw was insane like me they could do something fun with the whole alternate universe angle. Have them be slots for girls he's missed like Leaf, Kris and Arianna or pull some rule 63 type shiz for some characters. Team Rainbow Rocket (really GameFreak) has alternate versions of other villains so why not r63 Lysander into Lysandra or Maxie into Maxine lmao.
Ok rant done tl:dr, they probably wont be sub-legends in Alola
The Ultra-Beasts, I have a plan for
They'll basically have a mini-chapter of their own, each one having it's own little side scene
The MC won't capture them since they're supposed to be common in their home-dimensions, Maple also says that they don't belong in this world so saving them isn't part of the mission
Necrozma will be caught though as it's classed as a Legendary on the Serebii page
The page I'm using for anyone interested
I'll be using a similar idea for Paradox Pokemon too
