I'll be honest, I'm still rather disappointed at the lack of information around the anime series and the games, we don't know a lot at present
I don't mind it that much, especially for the games. I definitely remember people complaining that they revealed too much for both the past two generations. I'm pretty sure that they revealed over half of the new Pokemon before the games came out. We know a decent amount of game information at least, but not an overwhelming amount either. They're basically giving fans enough information to where we'd want more. The only things I'd want them to reveal at this point are the starter evolutions. I wouldn't be upset if they revealed more version exclusives or Galarian forms instead, but I'm okay with waiting another couple of weeks before finding out a lot more about the games. As much as I like waking up to more Pokemon news, I also feel like this method of slowly providing information is a better way to create buzz instead of revealing practically the entire game before the release date.
The minimal information on the anime is a bit more frustrating by comparison mainly because it's harder to see why they're keeping so much of it close to the vest at the moment. It is possible that they don't want to reveal too much from Sword/Shield featured in the new series before the games come out, but it can make it more frustrating in a sense. Stuff like the announcement of an announcement, waiting a month for a teaser poster and then having a few details thrown out there until SM ends doesn't help matters either. Despite that, I don't think it's that bad or disappointing for the anime. We'll find out more about it sooner rather than later. While it sounds like we'll get some information during the next couple of weeks, I'm also okay with just waiting until the series premieres to learn more about it if it does come to that.
