They said it was so they could spend time improving the animations and models but they're the exact same as the ones from the 3DS. The actual landscape had the infamous N64 trees as well. People were wondering, if the pokemon had to be cut in favor of quality, where the hell was the quality? Of course nowadays they have remodeled pokemon like in SV or given them special behaviors like in LA, but SwSh had none of that.
Later there were leaks that megas were planned for SwSh but were cut. Ultimately my theory is they just said all that because moving to making console games was the one chance Gamefreak had when there could make a "justifiable" excuse, allowing them to be lazy with the games moving forward.
