Okay it's fair that lazy was an exaggeration given how many people work hard on this.
But this definitely feels like a step backwards in some instances, or rather, a dumbing down of what is already a pretty simple RPG. I'm sure it'll sell millions and that kids will eat it up, but can't help feel like it's more of a cash grab to fill up the 2018 financial year before the "real deal" in 2019. Think about it, the fact it's based on gen 1, emphasing Go's success, the tile based movement and camera, the battle system. It all screams recycled ideas and content for the sake of slapping a game together quickly to get a product out. (And I used to work on a particular video game series that churns out multiple titles for kids year on year so I know how this cycle works lol).
So even though I've no doubt the artists behind the game are working hard, laziness from corporate, is highly probably.
