Look at Pokémon Snap niché game compared to main line series, but still has a better technical side than that.
Why is so?
Simple, Game Freak never developed on a home console and theh have to adjust to it, and to do so they also have to fix the crappy in house engine that they have and this requires time and help from others if not also to instruct all the internal stuff to work with really advanced hardware (compared to handheld stuff they had to deal with) and game optimization on it.
They were stuck in a process where they couldn't manage thinge because they're inexpert and that's also probably why they transferred with other Nintendo EPD studios in the same building, to get help.
They'll master console games too, but this will take them some few tries and PLA is one of them, that looks better than SWSH but still has problems because of this adjusting phase.
