The game is not complete yet

It'll be at least another couple years before the final Version is released. Adding new Generations of pokemon tend to tremendously slow down production time and the final Version will likely include the the Postgame (which will probably eat up a year on its own if Reborn's is anything to go by), so those two updates alone will take up a solid chunk of time. The Versions in between should be fairly quick, given how rapidfire V10-12 were, however.

If I remember correctly, there will be 16 episodes in all. Right now we’re on 12. But still, @Autumn Zephyr is probably right about the new gen Pokemon & the post game stuff gonna slow the game down. Although, I don’t think they will add new Pokémon til V14.

Zumi mentioned that they're planning to have Gen. 8 be added in V13 in the Q&A Thread, provided that the assets they need don't go too far beyond everything else in the Version time-wise. There are people already working on making sprites in their hype for SWSH, but those likely wouldn't have taken as long to manage as the coding necessary to update the new attacks and Abilities into the battle system. At least the fact that they don't plan on adding Gen. 8's big gimmick to the game quite yet will save them some time.

Yeah who cares about Dynamax? We have rifts

Something to remember: the dev time of v12 was an incredibly short amount of time compared to previous versions, so expecting v13 within the same amount of time when they also have to add in an entire new gen is not the smartest train of thought.
