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...

Are there really that many unanswered questions? Well, even if there are it's not as if they couldn't be answered in gen 7. Maybe they'll even do something like gen 2 and have Kalos visitable after you beat the elite 4 in the new region. And maybe the new pokemon is a gen 7 pokemon. Even if it wasn't originally intended to be a gen 7 pokemon it's not impossible for them to change their minds about it and shift it over. Basically there's ways to tie up what happened in gen 6 without having another gen 6 game so it isn't really 'necessary'.

Also imagine this, what if gen 7 isn't NX exclusive but is instead cross gen? Not with the regular 3DS but with the New 3DS instead. By next year that will be a console that has been available for a couple years so Gamefreak would have had plenty of time to get used to the hardware, it allows them more power to improve the game beyond what the standard 3DS would so even though it's cross gen it isn't held back too much. It gives another positive to the New 3DS pleasing those that decided to upgrade. And not only does it boost NX sales it would also boost New 3DS sales so it's both kick starting their new console and giving one final push on their old one.

yes, there are tons of unanswered quesions, theres a HUGE LORE for Pokémon X/Y, and I don't really think that Gamefreak will make another multi-region game until they don't make one with all the regions. I believe the slimy 'mon is either 6.5 gen or 7th gen but he isn't a proof that we're near to 7th gen, may other Pokémon appeared way before their generation.

nope, GameFreak doesn't do exclusive games inside certain generations of consoles , otherwise we would have seen Gen 5 on DSi . plus they can't make 7th gen crossgen because games wouldn't be compatible the same way they usually are, as well as having a graphic jump INSIDE the generation, which has no reason, the first 2 titles on New3DS would be almost the same as X/Y (as you can see from XC on New3DS graphics can't be pushed that much) and then the other titles in 7th gen would be way better
