X/Y has a lot of similarities to G 1... Kanto starters, Mewtwo, Articuno/Moltres/Zapdos, etc and OrAs confirmed it is all in a new dimension meaning this could very well be the G 1 of this dimension. The Sun has been likened to Gold and the Moon to Silver meaning that Sun/Moon could very well be the G 2 of this dimension and feature a lot of similarities to G 2... Including being able to return to Kalos like how you could return to Kanto (Both start with K meaning that Sun/Moon region could start with J) and since Kalos is included and you will be able to bring over new Pokemon from G7 it is technically G 6.5 and 7 Like how Gold/Silver was G 1.5 and 2... It was mainly G 2 but the inclusion of new Pokemon you can bring to Kanto makes is G 1.5 and G 2

Gen 2 was gen 2. Hence gen 7 will be gen 7. Don't overthink this, I would hate for you to strain your fragile, special mind.
The most disappointing thing for me is that if it is gen 7 then all the unresolved shit in gen 6 is going to be pushed to the wayside. And this isn't like before with the Azure flute. I mean A LOT of things in gen 6 are going to be left unacknowledged. Lore, items, southern kalos, I mean they foreshadowed a lot of things in X and Y. So this means that whatever foreshadowing that's going to be in the gen 7 games aren't going to amount to anything and just move on to the next thing.

They can have it be gen 7 and have it be related to gen 6, just like op said.
Its the "new gen 1 and 2" but not quite just the same idea.

Like they don't leave things unresolved all the time. The true form dragon, Arceus and his flute, the lock capsule, the battle frontier in ORAS...
In the end, who really cares? How autistic do you have to be that your happiness hinges on them tying up loose ends? They aren't even that good at storytelling to be frank.
