My theory that has nothing to back it up about New Pokemon snap.
This game was announced just so there is a Pokémon presence for the holiday season and to lessen the dissatisfaction of People not getting a proper game this year and last year. This allows Nintendo/The Pokémon Company and GameFreak to have more time to develop a game (it can still be a a shit mainline or Lets Go Sequel) Also Taking into account the covid situation and the difficulty to develop games. It can also be said that New Pokémon snap is a game that is easy to make if it follows the same formula as the last, put Player on a fixed track (not a 3d environment), use 3D models that are readily available literlayt just drop them into an easy to use game engine ala Unity /Unreal, create limited environments that hide the Pokémon (this might be the kblyy time consuming thing)
Plus, I'm not saying that this game will be bad or is rushed, but I feel like this was a last ditch effort because they had nothing else. I'd like to hear what you have to say about this. Also my uncle does not work at Nintendo
