It's not so much an issue of art style though. You can have the same "laid back" art style but with decent textures and detail. Plenty of simplistic cartoon games have graphics above the standard of the Xbox 360.

It is completely an issue of art style.  You're just pointing out a similar but distinct art style of Sonic and wondering why they don't do that instead.  I'm pointing out that they made the conscious decision to stick with the style shown.

No, it's not. It's an issue of technical quality. You can have the same core art style with better technical quality. From an objectively technological POV, completely disregarding art, this level of texturing and detail is inferior to the standards of the Xbox 360, a console from 2005.

Personally, I don't mind; it may sound like I'm being negative about this game, but that's only because people keep quoting the one negative thing I have to say about it.

On the whole I think this game is a clever move by Nintendo that will sell boatloads and move a good amount of hardware. The way it acts as a bridge between the more casual Pokemon Go and the mainline series is a particularly smart choice as it should expand the audience for both the series and for the Switch itself.
