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. |
The next Pokemon games that are releasing, according to how they normally do it, would be X2 and Y2 or Z. So it would use the same engine as X/Y and ORAS.

We don't know that. They publicly said they are done with special editions some while ago and Black / White 2 was the first full blown follow-up of an edition. You are right, the engine will be the same if the game stays on 3DS but they probably have to develop new content: New Pokémon, a new region, etc. That takes more time than recylcing 80% of a region (B/W2) or importing region + storyline from old games (R/S).
