Means jackshit, there's been a paradigm shift at Game Freak when TPCi killed the spin-offs (for a company that released 24 spin-off games in the span of the 22 year history of the franchise, primarily in years there was no Core release to not only fail to release one during a year with no Core release, but also to not even announce a planned entry of some description to the franchise speaks volumes to me) and Game Freak suddenly picking up the slack is no surprise, seeing as they're trying to give themselves time to finish their Core game.
