I don't know if there is any Pokéfan here but the lastest DLC of Pokémon Scarlet/Violet is full of references and nods to the Black/White games.
The last generation of Pokémon followed this game release schedule: Sword/Shield (Main game) - 2019, Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra (DLCs) - 2020, Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl (remake of a previous game) - end of 2021, Pokémon Legends Arceus - beginning of 2022.
If the Pokémon Company follows the same patterns on this current generation, we will see a new Pokémon game in the next year. It would be something like this: Pokémon Scarlet/Violet (Main game) - 2022, The Teal Mask and The Indigo Disk (DLCs) - 2023, something related to the Black/White games - 2024.
We don't know if it would be a remake of Black/White, a sequel of Black 2/White 2 and/or a Legends game based on Unova. My point is, this new game can help extend a little Switch's lifespan and its sales, so it might help the Switch to get to the 150+ million territory.
To conclude, a little side note:
1) Black/White was released in 2010 in Japan to the DS and the 3DS was released one year later. DS's sales increased during Black/White release
2) Black 2/White 2, was released in 2012 to the DS, with the 3DS already in the market. DS's sales didn't increase during Black 2/White 2 release
