If the development is done entirely or even primarily by Game Freak, then no, it will not be a competent-looking game. They have proved over and over again that they are not capable of delivering a good-looking game in the time allotted to them. However, if Nintendo steps in (which is not that far of a reach after the PR disaster that was Scarlet/Violet), it is possible that they could push the studio to expand or to restructure the development of Pokémon games.

We didn't get any Pokémon games/expansions in 2024, the first time since 2015. If Legends Z-A turns out to be the only one releasing in 2025 (which seems likely since we don't have a release date yet) and they push Gen 10 to 2026, they could be cooking.

I wouldn’t be so sure of that. The new Gen games have released every 3 years like clockwork since 2010. They are also usually annouced in a Pokemon Direct in February of the same year - Sword/Shield were revealed in Feb 2019 and Scarlet/Violet in Feb 2022 both for releases in the respective holiday seasons.

Gen 10 could still be very likely to be shown in a Pokemon Direct this month.
