Getting back into Pokemon:Scarlett and damn is it still is in a very sorry state. Can Nintnedo do anything about Gamefreaks poor QC or is pokemon gonna continue down this road?

Nah, Nintendo is most likely non-responsible for helping Gamefreaks disastrous dev scheduling. So buckle up and wait until the Switch 2 to get that game to run in acceptable form (which I think will even be somewhat difficult since the engine used for Pokémon is not adapted for the recent titles shift to open-world areas lol. Shit needs optimization)

Legends Z-A will be released on the Switch in 2025, and I suspect it to release sometime either Jan or Feb, before the rumored release of the successor in March 2025. 

The story is Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is actually very good concerning Game Freak Inc. but the game just has a lot of bugs and empty space that will most likely never be polished out and filled in.

The scheduling of release dates for The Pokémon Company is equally shared between Game Freak Inc., Nintendo, and Creatures Inc. at 33%.
Most of the reasons that there is a 3 year gap between games is:

1. Game Freak feels they can bust a mainline game out in 3 years
2. Creatures Inc. needs a new line of Pokémon Cards, merchandise, and a new TV series every 3 years to stay relevant.
3. Nintendo expects Game Freak to uphold the deal to release the mainline game every 3 years.

COO of TPC announced a while back that they will take the release scheduling a bit slowly. I assume Gen 10 to release 4 years after Gen 9 so Nov 2026. It is speculation and discussed in the community if it'll release on the Switch or the successor.

And I do agree that Game Freak needs to optimize their games better.
