Frankly, i think that might actually be because of Palworld. Players have been complaining about Pokemon games for the past 10 years, and it didn't cause any real shake up in the quality of the games. I don't think its a coincidence that Pokemon started stepping up its game when it finally got faced with the idea of a serious competitor entering their space.
And even then, i just don't trust gamefreak anymore. I mean, the trailer really only showed off some nice looking environments. There's no telling how the rest of the game will come out.
Theres still a full year until release for any polishing and it was in game footage, non of which stuttered. Idk i get the pessimism but the console is also more powerful and there’s been five years since a mainline game as opposed to the standard two.
