Repeating the same information isn't going to change my mind. I don't know how you can think they can't afford to delay everything when they make millions off of bare minimum effort. There's no extra work required for delaying merchandising and such, and if you're saying making a good game is too much work, then just lol.

They can delay the game, that's a fact. The only reason they wont is greed.

Game Freak and Nintendo can't do anything unless The Pokemon Company approves. TPC heavily depends on all aspects of the franchise, and making sure they work together is important. Yes, greed plays a part, but you underestimate how much work it takes to delay things like the Trading Card game, or the accompanying anime if the game gets delayed. It's a lot more nuanced than the "Evil greedy" corporation.

I should specify when I say they I'm referring to whoever is making the top level decisions, Gamefreak, Nintendo, TPC, whomever.

I will say you overestimate how much work it takes, but I'll back up my claim by saying the amount of work it takes will be no different than if they weren't delayed because why would it be? They're still gonna make the same number of episodes and card designs, they'll just be released later is all. Greed is not "a" part rather than "the" part. You can try to frame it as "work", but what does work mean in this context? Paying someone to do something. They don't want to do more work cause that means spending more money, hence greed.
