I am assuming that is why they showed zero footage and also announced it for an ambiguous 2025 release. We know that the Switch successor was supposed to release this year, but is now coming sometime in 2025.
It's been speculated that the Nintendo Direct that occurred last week was likely intended to originally feature games for the new system, but was repurposed to showcase other developers. Pokemon A-Z was probably going to be a part of that original announcement as the "Breath of the Wild"-like big ticket day 1 system seller, but they're keeping the lid on it until the system is ready to show off, too.
