Drop Game Freak, hand the reins to a decent reputable developer.

Gen 9 so far is complete ass. Despite Scarlet/Violet having some good things going for it (Nemona is the best rival since Blue from RBY, Arven's backstory is great, Toby Fox making parts of the soundtrack, Ash Ketchum finally dropped from the anime), its flaws heavily outweigh the good parts. Game is dull and full of performance issues, Paldea feels lifeless, the Pokemon League can only be attempted once, Geeta is a joke of a champion, the Team Star questline is awful, and the Academy Ace Tournament is far too easy to be considered endgame content.

Should Gen 10 end up like this, Nintendo and the Pokemon Company will end up in trouble.

How does scarlet/violet compare to legends arceus?

I read a lot of criticism of PLA at launch as well, and I don’t know if patches fixed the game or if the criticism was overblown, but I’m currently playing PLA and I really love it.
