>>47481435Well, you have Legends Arceus launching in January which is a very strange time to launch a game. Maybe they realized Legends was going to not make a holiday release window, so they outsourced BDSP so they'd have a holiday release for 2021.
It's possible gen 9 will come out in 2022. Then 2023 will be gen 9 expansion pass. 2024 and 2025 could be BW and B2W2 remakes. Then we'd get gen 10 in 2026 for the series' 30th anniversary like they did for the 20th anniversary and gen 7.
