I really hope that the overwhelming critical and financial success of Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey, both of which are on track to be the best selling games of their respective series', is lighting a spark under Game Freak's ass to do something similar with Pokemon and I'd be more than willing to wait a while in order for that to happen.
But, I highly doubt that they will.

Did people already forget about what has been said last month ?

Even if it's just a rumor, I doubt my a** that GameFreak would simply ignore the success of BOTW and SMO.

They'll certainly add some disruptive(or new) elements to the gameplay or story that we never saw in a Pokémon game before ... Although, they already did a bit of that in Sun/Moon.

We're in a new generation guys, they need to impress people to get the hype going around. No way they'll simply just do a 2.0 of Pokémon X/Y.

I don’t think it’ll be out of the realm of possibility of GF creating X/Y 2.0 and I don’t think it would necessarily be a bad thing, especially if it comes in 2018 or ‘19. This is their first foray into HD development outside of that one Elephant project. Plus rendering over 800+ Pokémon and integrating them into bigger worlds isn’t gonna be easy, no matter the staff and money they have. As for battles, i don’t expect Pokken type action. They’ll add new elements and all just like they’ve always done it, maybe more.
