I've been wandering about what Pokémon have in store for us next so I thought I'd create a speculation thread for everyone to post their thoughts and theories.

Okay so I'll starts with whether the next game will be another gen 6 game or whether we'll move into a knew phase and start gen 7. I've started by researching a bit and found a slight pattern that might tell us what's next.
Gen 1 - Red/Blue - Yellow
Gen 2 : Gold/ Silver - Crystal
Gen 3 : Ruby/Sapphire - FireRed/LeafGreen - Emerald
Gen 4 : Diamond/Pearl - Platinum - HeartGold/SoulSilver
Gen 5 : White/Black - White2/Black2
Gen 6 : X/Y - OmegaRuby/AlphaSapphire
From this we can see a pattern of how many sets of games and solitary games have been in each generation: 2, 2, 3, 3, 2, 2(so far). This pattern means that we will move into gen 7 next, this theory is supported by the gap year we're having. The gap year could be to create new mons, enhance graphics ect.
On the flip side this would mean we wouldn't get X/Y2 or Z for quite a few more years. GameFreak is not stupid, with all the hype for a sequel to X/Y there must be a big reason not to make a sequel. To figure this out I looked up how much each game made the company.
Black White : 15.6M - 7.8M each
Black White 2 : 8.52M - 4.26 each
Diamond Pearl : 17.63M - 8.815 each
Platinum : 7.6M
Ruby Sapphire : 16.22M - 8.11M each
OrAs : 9.94M - 4.97M each
This basically shows us that each remake sells less than the original. According to this a remake would make an all time record low for a main series game and considering the gap year a new main series game will boost profits. Of course all of this is theory and if GameFreak is anything they're unpredictable.

Okay now that that's all over ^^ I'll go onto how I think the next years of Pokémon will map out.
2015 - Gap Year
2016 - Gen 7 : This would make sense considering a gap year, I think 3 years is enough for 1 generation considering how fast pace and how high the demand is. Also I don't think gen 6 was a big enough instalment for 3 sets of games.
2017 - Diamond and Pearl remakes : Pretty big hype since ORAS and Sinnoh has only featured in 2 main series games. also it would have been 9 years since D/P had ben released so it would have been time.
2018 - Pokémon X/Y2 : Would be about time for a remake. Think it would fit in nicely with gen 7 and the Zygarde story can be better. I don't think it would be Pokémon Z as I don't think it could stand on it own half a decade after X/Y.

or

2015 - Gap Year
2016 - Pokémon Z : This would make sense and this is what I think will happen. It helps that X/Y was released so near to it. Zygarde story line will be finned and focused on. It could also be home to new mega evos.
2017 - Gen 7 : I Don't think a single gen could have more than 3 games without loosing its originality so gen 7 is kinda obvious here.
2018 - Diamond and Pearl remakes : Slightly stubborn for D/P remakes. It would make sense as is would have been a full 1o years since the originals.
2019 - Gen 7 remake : continuing with the pattern gen 7 will include 3 sets of games, an older gen remake wouldn't be viable so gen 7 again with an improved plot.

These are just some of my thoughts and ideas, hope you share yours.
 
I actually like your idea for a Sinnoh remake. Sinnoh is my favorite region (besides Unova >.<) that I really liked. I hope they do make a remake of the D/P games. It would be nice to re-visit the region. Maybe even a Platinum remake :D
 
First of all, THERE WON'T EVER BE A POKEMON Z! For a game to be developed, you need to get the copyrights, but Z isn't registered. On the other hand, Delta Emerald is! So, what I think Nintendo will do is this:
2016*: Pokemon Delta Emerald / Gen 7
2017*: Pokemon Delta Emerald / Gen 7 / Sinnoh Remakes
2018: Sinnoh / Johto remakes
2019: Sinnoh / Johto remakes / Final Pokemon game (20 years)
*: either DE or Gen 7, if DE, then it will be paired with Sinnoh remakes. So, probably, 2016- Gen 7 and 2017- DE and Sinnoh.
 
A Pokémon Z? I didn't see that... I really they don't make one of those >.> That would just feel like they were milking off X and Y. Kinda like how the FNAF series was supposed to be done after 4, and apparently a new one is coming. (BTW, there's nothing I hate more than a Dev/Company milking a game/series .-.)

Same here. All thing should end. For example, Digimon had a great run, lots of games, 4 seasons of anime and so on. It ended before it could become boring or repetitive like Pokemon is becoming. Pokemon nowadays reminds me the lord of the rings, 1book=3movies. It's time people realized that they are ruining their own legacy!
 
In LOTR's defense, the books were quite long. Digimon had so many shows, I can't even count, and Pokémon gets a new Anime series every time a new game comes out. The only thing I wish was that at some point, they could switch up the protagonist. It would be a nice change of things.

Digimon: 1 Gen = 1 Season , Pokemon: 1 Gen = 3 Seasons!
Also, Digimon stopped before starting stupid ideas, like Garbodor! Additionally, in Digimon, every season had new a Gen of Digimon, new characters (the previous ones now were grown up with lives and all), new story and so on. As for Pokemon, clearly out of ideas, even the Gen 7 pokes are already expected to be lame

Nice observations. You never know if game freak will make a completely unexpected move to the next main series pokemon games :p I'm having hopes for a D/P remake first imo.

In my opinion it's more likely that we get a brand now Pokemon game before any more remakes come out
It just seems more reasonable to make new one after remake especially after few hints like that pokemon silhouette on XY movie poster (yes it could also hint about sequel for XY but I don't think that would be financially wise move for game freak)
Anyway whatever the new Pokemon game will be I will definitely be interested to buy it :D
