Don't Creatures Inc co-develop the main generation RPGs? They didn't work on Let's Go, but I'd expect they're helping with Generation 8. That'll mean a total staff of somewhere around ~250 working on generation 8 right now, with development presumably having started a little over two years ago (Let's Go entered development early to mid 2016 judging by comments made when they were revealed).

I don't mind how Let's Go looks too much, but I'd agree completely that more sophisticated textures and animations especially are desirable for the new mainline titles. Let's Go were spin-offs for beginners and Game Freak's first HD Pokemon RPG. Generation 8 should have been the focus for both Game Freak and Creatures Inc (and perhaps with assistance from Nintendo's other studios or from freelance studios), so I'd hope for a more technically proficient experience.
