Nintendo: We are making a new console, it will be the successor to the Wii U
Pokemon Company: Wow that thing looks like it sucks, we'll keep working on 3DS games
Nintendo: Hey make us a pokemon game for our new console
Pokemon Company: We're kind of busy making a new 3DS game and making piles of money with Pokemon Go
Nintendo: Fuck you, we made a new console and it gets a pokemon game
Pokemon Company: Fine. Game Freak, make the most low effort Pokemon game as fast as you can for the Switch.
Game Freak: *makes Lets Go Pikachu/Eevee and sells over 10 million copies*
Nintendo: Do it again
Pokemon Company: We're still working our 3DS game though
Nintendo: Fuck you, do it by the holiday season
Pokemon Company: OK Game Freak, we don't have time to make a real pokemon game from scratch, scrap half the pokedex, reuse models from 3DS, upscale it for tv (no we don't have time for anti-aliasing), and get someone on Fiverr to make the texture for the trees
Game Freak: I don't know if anyone will like our half finished 3DS game ported to Switch but ok
SwSh: *Sells more than any previous pokemon game*
Most of the problems with gen 8 are because Nintendo strong armed them into rushing it for the holidays which obviously paid off for them. They'll have time to get it right next time
