If the core game is good in certainly happy for it, but it's still wild to me that one of the biggest media franchises in the world is given no budget and is made to work on 10 year old handheld game technology (word going around from diggers that some animations and models are still coated over from X/Y) for the console releases.

I think the issue isn't so much budget, moreso that Gamefreak just aren't that used to making console games. I think that's why so much was cut from SwSh, because they just ran out of time getting the game working. And although I won't defend Gamefreak's animations too much, there's nothing inherently wrong with reskinning models and resuing animations if there's no benefit to making new ones.
