We know the characters require further work, as they are currently missing their LODs

no, this is the rushed shit gamefreak does, this is a fundamental part of 3D game development, especially for a game like this.

And especially for the things that there are potentially thousands of on screen. And especially for things that are semi complex models. And especially for things that are small at a distance....

Yup, I'm no pro game dev, and even in my hobby projects I deal with it at the start of development. It's really easy for character models like this because you do it once for one model and tell the artists (also me) the resolutions for the textures. Then in early development, you use one model for everything while the artists make more variety.

It's not something any decent dev would leave for later.

I'm guessing they haven't tuned the multithreading code and they're getting a lot of lock contention. That's a much harder problem to solve than LODs or other low hanging fruit. You can turn around LODs in a week, multithreading issues can take months.
