Look at the bump Sword and Shield had compared to the one New Horizons had and is still getting. 

I know google trends isn't a perfect argument but it definitely illustrates that New Horizon has much more interest.

Mason already addressed the trends part but I'll add the is a lot you are ignoring for one AC would have more of a presence online through social media due to the type of game it is being a social sim it fits in well with social media as people express their personalities through it however that still is no indicator of it outmatching Pokemon yet because a lot of Pokemon's interest is also generated in areas AC hasn't even got a foothold in such as media like animes and movies as well as having its own dedicated magazine outlets and merchandise.

Because AC just blew up in the mainstream? You arent going to see references on other media till next year at the earliest, those things take time and Pokemon is an older more established brand of course it has more of that. Doesn't change the fact that AC is going through its golden age or peak and is unquestionably more relevant than Pokemon at the moment.
