They were fucking around and blew all their Pokemania money on nonsense which is why it took them so long to come up with a region that was tiny compared to Kanto in scope, what you're referring to is the crunch deadline at the end when all of them realized they couldn't get their shit game working and had Iwata bail them out. They even remarked that Iwata, someone who was not a dev, knew their own code better than them after looking at it for a bit.
And it's been the same shit with every gen since except now they can hire in more pajeets and retarded wagies to offload the labor on so they can churn out their soulless slop faster.
The only gen made with any modicum of real effort was gen 1 and even that was basically just one autist and one decent artist propping up an utter shitshow of code
