That is not a promise they've ever made, it's long time buyers affixing their own image of progression to the series that should have died back in 2003 when Colosseum showed us those involved have no issue making the "biggest franchise in the world's" 3D RPG debut on the struggling Gamecube an iffy looking and mechanically cut-down game. (Its spin-off status doesn't really mean anything because Game Freak would not have been able to best it).
