Why would you expect remakes only 1 year after sw/sh? 2021 has always seemed like an ideal date.

Look at the release dates of some previous remakes after a new gen.

Ruby/Sapphire-Nov 2002

FireRed/LeafGreen-Jan 2004

14 months

X/Y-Oct 2013

OmegaRuby/AlphaSapphire-Nov 2014

13 months

2 of the 3 remakes released barely more than a year later.

But using context from right now, 1 year is too small of a gap.
