>>57592308XY/ORAS/SM/USUM animations and PLA animations are way better yeah
but these are a good step above SwSh and SV, even though it's 90% camerawork to make them look more exciting than they actually are
Digimon has the advantage of having less creatures and less moves in general + less moves each specific creature can perform
so for each creature they need to animate 1 final move and then 4-5 other moves and they're done
Gen 6 and 7 used mostly the same trick with camerawork to great effect, and PLA has the same advantage by only having around 400 pokemon and cutting down the amount of available moves to each pokemon by a fair bit due to no TMs or Breeding.
That is to say, if you ignore SV, more or less they're on the same level of production, the difference is just logistics tied to amount of creatures*moves.
One should also mention that Pokemon is the biggest IP on the planet, so a little more budget wouldn't hurt, but the flipside to that is that you can't just throw money at something and it just magically gets better- the more you expand a team the more you lose focus and coherence.
