The next mainline Pokémon game, obviously. Black / White 2 was easy to develop so most of their resources went into X/Y at that point. Ruby / Sapphire was a remake based on an already developed graphics engine. That's why we got annual games. The new games just take a year longer to develop, that's all.

Also, releasing the franchise annually is probably a bad idea in the long run. But who knows, maybe we'll get a surprise announcement in August.
