It's clear the game was rushed for the holiday season in order to take the place of Zelda getting pushed back to next year. But this game obviously should have been pushed back a few months as well.

Nah, not really. It was rushed because the Pokémon Company needs their yearly holiday release and they also want to keep having a new Pokémon generation every 3 years, meaning the game has to come out now so it doesn't lag behind all their other multimedia stuff.

Don't really think Pokémon release schedules have any tie to other Nintendo games. If anything, it's Nintendo who can feel more comfortable delaying something like Zelda if they know there's a Pokémon release for the holidays.
