So after thinking for a while I came to the following conclusions:
First of all, Idc how much credibility that jinxfag has they backpedaled often times and it´s not like all of their shit were true.
>New game or not
For me I think it will be the 3rd Kanto sequel. The Marketing and ingame events kinda hinted very very much at this. And normal fags love kanto see XY movies vs 20th movie.
- The child from the SM episodes, comes from kanto to hawaii and in the end he goes back
- Lillie goes back to kanto
- giovanni saying we will see us again
- region forms are kanto only, because we will kanto og forms next gen

>region
If we get a new region, it will probably be china. Why China? Sony and Nintendo are suddenly realizing how much money you can make in that country.
Spain/Italy doesn´t make sense in the slightest. GF always panders to japs, japs don´t care about that country at all.
Japs love paris that´s why XY, Japs invade hawaii that´s why we got SM.
So if it´s another european based region it´s 100% germany, because japs love germans
Also japs love Chinese stories like Journey to the west and 3 Kingdom romance

>starters
Following the pattern from XY and SM, this time
- fire will be the fast one (so if zodiac is real probably snake or rabbit)
- grass will be the cute/female one
- water will be the strong one

>pokemon
I believe joe is right about this, they are trying as hard as they can to stagger the release of mons until the 1000th mon is out. Probably last mon of Gen 9 will be the 999 and gen 10 will start with the 1000 like victini.

Anything I forgot? Feel free to discuss.
