@ Person above me:
DSi is to DS
what
Gameboy Color was to original Gameboy.
It'll probably be a DSi enhanced game--with additional features only available on DSi: an incentive to upgrade for all DSi owners.
Which is EXACTLY the same as Gold/Silver (as they were playable on the original gameboy).
So there is precedent.
Also: By the time they come out in JAPAN, HG/SS will have been out for a year. Not really competing against themselves at that point.
Most importantly, you base your entire (uneven) argument on the assumption that the DS's succesor will be out in 2011. This is much more of a stretch than believing that Gamefreak is completing a new generation of Pokemon.
