And if Pokemon gen 7 were a launch title for the new hardware?

that would be different, but I believe GameFreak has never released two games (substancialy different one from the other) of the main series in the same year (at least in the same country). 

Btw am I the only one that's happy to see that Nintendo cares about Pokémon's 20th anniversary ? I believed they would have celebrated Zelda for the 30th and don't even care about Pokémon and Metroid (poor Samus )

Well the only way they would release two games from the main series in the same year would be if Z happens and if gen 7 really is next year then that would imply Z won't happen at all. Considering there was no real 3rd version in gen 5 either it isn't impossible that they skip over it and go straight to gen 7.


They can't simply skip a necessary game, X/Y leave a lot of unanswered questions, as well as a New Pokémon that hasn't been released yet and for which there isn't coded way to encounter, so can't be released via Wi-fi (at least on ORAS/XY). The only way I can see them doing more than one game is if: Z happens and is only ONE game (so they don't lose time making the sequels different) and on 3DS, while Gen 7 happens on NX Handheld, that's kinda unlikely knowing that GameFreak releases main series titles on Nintendo consoles after a few years so that they can use properly the hardware. that said it would be possible that GF decided to make both 7th and 8th gen on NX as they did on the DS...
