Well B/W 2 came out on DS like a full year into the 3ds life (I think), so considering the handheld hardware isn't even really talked about yet (all signs point to the NX being a console or hybrid, at least), let alone coming out soon, I think there is a good chance that, regardless of if it is a remake/sequel/new game, the next Pokemon game on 3ds (after sun and moon), I suspect, will launch on the 3ds and not the next handheld. I doubt Nintendo, if they don't do a hybrid, will launch both their console and handheld in the same fiscal year, so the handheld wouldn't come until at least 2018.
