Yeah unless their development time problem is solved, this probably won't be good

I think this is actually a decent opportunity for them to avoid that problem. By and large, Pokemon games are rushed because they have to meet merchandise release schedules, a problem that's growing as the transition into making 3D console games means the games just plain take longer to make (compounded by a lack of experience working on such games meaning they can't be as efficient as some other studios can) while the merchandise release cycle has stayed the same. Making something that isn't Pokemon and can have a more relaxed development timeline (with room for delays if needed) will probably be good for them.

Now, will the game be good? Who knows? Probably not, given how far outside their usual area of expertise it is. But it does at least have the potential to be a project on which they can take their time to get it right.
