No, each new generation of Pokemon was released on the new handheld. So the 5th Generation games are going to be on the DS' successor (the rumored handheld that has the NVIDIA graphics card that is powering it). GameFreak is already at work on planning the games with the characters and such (that's a given). Why do you think awhile back that GameFreak had a hiring advertisement for a 3D animator/designer? It's because they probably want to start at work with the next (5th) Generation and possibly have those games come out when the new system is released. I don't think they would want to waste time like with all the spin-offs we got after Emerald to Diamond and Pearl.
