I've been seeing a lot more people here believing Gen 9 is coming this year. Not only that, there are now people actually wanting Gen 9 to come out this year.

Why? Do you want an even more rushed release? Are you that desparate to move on from Gen 8? I just don't understand it. Last month, it was basically just yawnfag, now there's several threads every day either thinking Gen 9 is next, or straight up wishing for it.
