and it’s just not enough time to polish the games as well as they did 15+ years ago.
The games were never polished because GameFreak's dev. team kind of bites. It took Iwata coming in to actually fix the damn things for them to even function.
Nintendo had similar issues in the 80s and early 90s and also relied on HAL's staff--who actually knew what they were doing--to clean up the unworkable software they churned out. GameFreak just never really evolved the way Nintendo's in-house dev teams have.

Honestly the issue there is that The Pokémon Company sets super hard deadlines for GameFreak to put the games out by (for merch and anime production purposes) and it’s just not enough time to polish the games as well as they did 15+ years ago. At least it seems they’re slowing things down now, they didn’t release a new game or DLC last year for the first time since 2015
