Nope. Just a new legendary for the 6th gen. It's too soon to bring the 7th gen, and Nintendo could just update the games to introduce one Pokemon that is not on X/Y or ORAS.

They could, but  they didn't update X/Y for the new Megas introduced in OR/AS. If this is Gen 6.5 (I really don't think it is) then the 6.5 gen game (Z or whatever it is) will be the only which has it. 

Pokemon generations last from 3-4 years on average, that means that it wouldn't actually be out of the normal for a new gen to come in November of this year.

People are saying that the idea of Gen VII coming now goes against established franchise traditions (a third version of the main games), but so did Gen V. Also in saying that, there is absolutely no precedent for a single new Pokemon being introduced in a third version game, ever. Forms yes, actual Pokemon, no. 

I'm 95% sure we're getting Gen VII this year. X and Y left a lot to be desired story and content-wise, but there is little reason to continue them with a third title when a new gen would sell more and earn more for Nintendo/Game Freak, especially given that they broke that tradition last gen anyway. 

Gen V had the third installment like usual. more like a seccond installement, as the first two are always the same game and so were b2w2/y/c/e/p.
