IIRC Nintendo and GF own parts of Pokemon company, Nintendo doesn't control GF directly.
> The only explanation I can think of is the sheer number of models in a pokemon game may be much higher than those games, but I am not sure.
They remade models in 3D for 3DS games, at the SwSh release people compared them to the 3DS ones and they turned out to be essentially same. So they already put the effort to migrate models to 3D
The explanation is "people will buy anyway". The game would realistically need another 6 months to get to the "good" state and they couldn't miss the holiday season.
Model like CoD with multiple teams working in parallel on subsequent games would probably work better but... Pokemon fans will buy it anyway so why bother ? From company's management view it's a golden goose.
They also tried to make non-pokemon game and it was pretty much a flop so really it is a mediocre developer that have license to print poke-money
