Metroid at least is possible, depending on when exactly it entered development, but I can't see Pokemon in 2018. Sun/Moon released in 2016, that would give this new game 2 years in development. Could they make a Pokemon game in that amount of time? Quite possibly. Would it be the game the fans want though? Definitiely not. Most Pokemon fans don't want an HD version of the Sun and Moon engine, they want a full on, AAA, 3D, open world Pokemon game. It would be such a waste to basically release Sun/Moon HD instead of a proper console game. The question is, are Gamefreak dumb and lazy enough to make Sun/Moon HD instead of the proper Pokemon console game fans want? Sadly, they might just be. 

Game Freak has already proven time and time again to be very lazy. Dumb, though? Nah. If they can get away with selling 15m copies with each lazy entry, why would they bother putting real effort into one that might not sell much more?

Edit: if anything, I believe Pokémon might happen next year, as for Prime 4 I don't buy it for a second.

They'd need for their first HD title to be quite something. It needs to build on hype too, not just capitalize on a market they're not sure yet to seize with a lazy outing.
