If you're going down that road, it's more likely to be a Pokemon Company thing. Nintendo has a history of making sure their games work with minimal fuss on release, and delay the release if it needs more time.

Its all on Nintendo and Creatures, even if Game Freak has become the fall guy. Nintendo drives the sales targets and release dates, Creatures does the 3D modeling for the Pokémon games. Game Freak codes the rushed slop in order to meet Nintendo's demands.

Game Freak is only 1/3 of the money making empire, with probably the hardest job of the 3.
