I have better things than vote strawpolls, like shitposting.

Since 2016 was such a big year and full of stuff I don't think we will get any main game this year.
>>31741574
Well, usually, they release a game every even year, and every other odd year.
This could just be a coincidence, but the pattern lines up
>SM in 2016
>ORAS in 2014
>XY in 2013
>BW2 in 2012
>BW in 2010
>HG/SS in 2009
>Pt in 2008
>DP in 2006
Pattern doesn't work for gen3, but it has been going for 10 years

>muh patterns
Can't wait for Pokemon Grey

You're arguing that because they have broken patterns before, we can't rely on patterns at all
And it's fair, but until they actually say anything on the next games, we won't have anything to go on but patterns
If you absolutely disagree with 2017, then when do you think is more accurate, and for what reason?
>>31742419
What game would they even release tho? It's too soon for yet another remake, but it's also too soon for a "third" maingen game.
I think it's too much of a stretch to think from this pattern alone that we'll be getting some wholly new basis for a Pokemon game. Would be cool if we got something very different, like maybe a more story focused thing (or more open world even) with the same mainline game mechanics. Something that is then not a remake, but not an updated Sun/Moon either.

>more story focused thing
Fuck that
We don't need a pokemon movie game. We can just get pokemon movies

I know, but I just can't see a new game in 2017 unless they make a very different game.
>>31745136
What would be better is if we had something that focused more on exploration with the story being something that occurs as you move along
A large expansive map with dungeons and buildings to traverse through

Of course, would be the dream game, some rumors about a Switch Pokemon game so heck, maybe it'd even go on that, they keep the more traditional games on the 3ds while the Switch gets this new direction game.

Hopefully no time soon so Game Freak can get their shit together.
>2019 or later

Good point, didn't think about how all third versions were two years after
>it's too much of a stretch to think from this pattern alone that we'll be getting some wholly new basis for a Pokemon game
Yes, i know. But me bringing up my thinking sparked this discussion, and hopefully we might get a little closer to understanding how they actually operate
Anyways, as to your question about what the next game will be, i don't know, but this is what /vp/ thinks, and what they thought back in gen6
Why would anyone vote for there being no more games?
>>31744942
If anything, i think 2018 is most likely, and if not, then a third version or sequel would be the only option to the next games
