The Pokémon Company has never made a cross gen, and honestly I don't think they will focus on the new console until they get at least one more game out.
Every time a new console comes out it takes a bit for the next gen or remake to come out (that mostly happens due to the life cycle of a console/handheld, and I think that concept still stands, given that since gen 3 the cycle has been as such:
GBA: March 21, 2001
       - Ruby/Sapphire: Nov 21, 2002
       - FireRed/LeafGreen: Jan 29, 2004 .
NDS: Nov 21, 2004
       - Diamond/Pearl: Sept 28, 2006
       - HeartGold/SoulSilver: Mar 14, 2010
       - Black/White: Sept 18, 2010
       - Black 2/White 2: June 23, 2012
3DS: Feb 26, 2011.
       - X/Y: Oct 12, 2013
       - Omega Ruby/ Alpha Sapphire: Nov 21, 2014
       - Red/Blue/Yellow: Feb 27, 2016
       - Sun/Moon: Nov 18, 2016
       - Gold/Silver/Crystal: Sept 22, 2017 
       - Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon: Nov 17, 2017
Switch: Mar 3, 2017
       - Let's GO Pikachu/Eevee: Nov 16, 2018
       - Sword/Shield: Nov 15, 2019
       - Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl: Nov 19, 2021
       - Legends: Arceus: Jan 28, 2022
       - Scarlet/Violet: Nov 18 2022
       - Minimum required time for remake: 2024 (will be on older console as have been all Pokémon games since NDS)
       -Minimum reqired time for Legends: 2025 (unknown if releasing on Switch or NG, for consistency and to follow the pattern, I put it with the Switch)
Rumored NG release: Sept/Nov 2024
       - Minimum required time for Gen 10: Nov 14, 2025 (2022+3, and release on friday)
       - DLC 2026
       - Remake 2027
       - Legends 2028
       - Gen 11 Nov 17, 2028

But we may see the games be pushed back by a year each time
Remake 2025
Legends 2026
Gen 10 2027
DLC 2028
etc.
Due to the COO The Pokémon Company from this year, they spoke that they will be thinking about taking some time between Gens to make the games better (thats the jist of it).

I'd like to add that the NDS was not introduced in all regions simultaneously. In Europe we got it it only in 2005. Looking at your list it's really only B/W2 that was released on the 'old' platform when it's successor was out (NDS vs. 3DS). The Switch was not announced as successor to the 3DS at it's reveal, even though it ended up being just that. It was way more expensive than the 3DS, which changed with the Switch Lite to some extend in 2019. Therefore in my mind I see the Switch Lite as true successor to the 3DS.

If we get a remake/remaster in November 2024, I do believe it will be on Switch despite the possibility of a 'Switch2' releasing in the fall 2024. Simply because large installed base and not needing a power upgrade to play these games. And obviously we don't know if 'Switch2' will release in all regions simultaneously.

I guess that makes sense why Diamond and Pearl was released in 2006, to give people a chance to purchase a NDS, and also due to the work load.

And yes, the Switch is not the official successor to the 3DS. But in Sept 20, 2016, before Sun & Moon released there were already announcements from Tsunekazu Ishihara, the CEO of The Pokemon Company. He said (im gonna give the jist but ill leave the website) that they will be developing mainline games for the NX (Switch).
Wall Street Journal

That's interesting, I guess they already had the main team working on S/M when they made that announcement and probably had the game completed. Cool.

They just announced epilogue gameplay for Scarlet and Violet: Hidden Treasures of Area Zero for Thursday January 11th 2024. That's interesting. Will they be announcing more regarding Scarlet and Violet?

In November 6th 2022, The Pokémon Company had job listings, and one of those specified that “research and development for other next-generation hardware”. So I assume since Nov/Dec of 2022 they have been working on the next games for the NG. 2022+3 year minimum per generation = 2025.
But that is only if this pertains to a mainline, I could be wrong and they may bust one out from the get go. I say 2025 because usually they take 3 years, I dont know how long a remake or Legends game takes.

And I do agree that 2024 will give the Switch at least one more Pokémon game.
If the Nintendo Switch released worldwide on the same day, I think Nintendo will release the NG on the same day worldwide as well.
