I think at this point it needs to be recognized that no matter how much money it makes, Pokémon will likely never be a system showcase.
By the time this game is out, Gamefreak will have released 4 HD games in 5 years, and they've never been one of the technical top dogs, even back in the old days. Anyone holding out hope for the next Pokémon game to be a graphical marvel is likely just setting themselves up for perpetual disappointment.
It's not ideal, but it is what it is.
It could be worse though; they do still show consistent improvement from one entry to the next, at least.
