Correct, Pikachu does not have an Alolan form. However, Surfing Pikachu could be making a return.

So as for Rattata, Yungoos were brought in from a foreign region in order to control the pest problem in Alola. As a coping mechanism, the Rattata transformed into nocturnal Dark-types.

A trailer will be released tomorrow, showcasing more information on the games. This is around the time that the middle evolutions of the starters are revealed and the Pokemon Twitter of France hinted at this as well. Even if you keep away from spoilers, this will help you make the choice of your starter.
