>Pokémon now came out globally, so let's pretend that the world adapted to the japanese schedule now, there are only 4 years since 1996 without a major pokémon game (2001: between GEN II and III; 2003: between RS and LGFR; 2007: between DP and Platinum; 2011: between BW and BW2), so pokémon is mainly a yearly series. Also GF told when XY came out that they're trying to do a yearly schedule now. Also as mentioned above the 20th anniversary makes no sense. Also Pokémon it's the best selling 3DS series right now, and I can see Nintendo pushing them to release more games. >There are 2 coded but unused moves for Zygarde in XY.>The datamine showed that there are 2 more slots for pentagon-pokémon>GF told that they're not into the idea of third versions anymore>XYORAS are not "incomplete" or "rushed", when ORAS came out they expressly said that they're dumbing down the series to gather a younger demographic (bad choice in my opinion)>There is only an event-movie pokémon left (Volcanion) for Movie 19>They're slowing down on the number of the new pokémon added (which means that GEN VII could came shortly after GEN VI) but maintaining momentum with new megas.>The anime, one of the most reliable generation lifespan indicator: Ash is close to obtain his sixth badge already.Obviously they could make something totally different, but with New 3DS prolonging the 3DS lifespan at least until 2017 I can see this timeline working (with maybe, and this is a stretch, GEN VII sequels in 2017, gap year(s) and then GEN VII (with Sinnoh remakes, since ORAS sold well) on the new console.
