They get three years to make these games and barring something major like not getting the wi-fi working with the game, they don't delay. Shit, Gen VI and VII absolutely could have done with a delay to flesh them out more, but Nintendo set the pace so wanted them out as-scheduled. Shit, they delayed their own game, while making sure Game Freak's launched on-time to sell its usual 5m consoles.
Leads me to my next point, the number of pokémon grow each Gen but the time allowed to make the games still remains at 3 years. If they kept the 'dex, eventually all you'd get would be a battle clone, no story, no region, just a Game Freak-approved showdown. They don't want to make showdown, there's autists online who'll do it for free, they want to make pokémon games for children, as always and what gave was the one thing that could actually be stood to cut, shit not as if anyone used everything in the National 'Dex in every game and Gen and Game Freak know that too.
