I don't really see that happening. It was just an idea they had and they finally got to do it. I feel the next one is likely not going to be like Fates.

Why wouldn't they? People obviously don't care about having to get two versions of the game. If they're able to get more money out of people, why not. Pokemon will have two versions forever because people will still buy one or both.

Weren't the pokemon games split to encourage player interaction more? Splitting some pokemon between 2 versions helped drive the purpose of trading and interacting with others.... Or you buy both versions and be your own friend, haha... Then you would even need 2 GBs...

Fates however was an idea one of the devs had in mind for the longest time, and this was a good chance to finally do it. The drive was choice and having players do so with two sides of a big picture. This would have a much bigger emphasis on that decision when you had to buy one of the sides. This was pushed further when the director (someone in the team, I forget exactly) wanted a 3rd side cuz he didn't want to choose either side. You could say splitting the games works similarly with trading games with friends to see what the other side looked like.

Seeing how Fates focuses a lot on this idea, I don't really see them doing that again as it wouldn't really hold that same interest Fates did.

Or I could be wrong and they do it again.
