Such a game is a possibility - though a VERY unlikely one - because patterns mean nothing, hell Game Freak have even said before that they try to break patterns to keep Pokemon fans surprised. I wouldn't consider it likely because it seems like a poor business practice to basically re-release SM, but it's not completely outside the realm of possibility.
