Graphics have never been Gamefreak's strong suit. On a purely technical level the mainline Pokemon games have always been average at best for their respective systems. Gen 1 was not one of the better-looking GB games, gen 3, 4, and 5 were not among the best-looking GBA or DS games. The 3DS games really show how bad they are at working with the hardware, since they couldn't even get the 3D effect working except during battles in X and Y and didn't bother with it in Sun and Moon, all those games had slowdown, and they looked far, far worse than many games on the 3DS that had full 3d and better framerates in addition to much higher quality assets, effects, and animations.
I would hope that Lets Go and Town, by allowing them to get their feet wet in HD development, would lead to something better when it comes to Gen 8, but I've given up on anything close to the technical level of BOTW, Mario Odyssey, or Xenoblade 2 since it appears they are not getting help from Monoliftsolft like I'd hoped.
