This, it's more likely to be 2019. They extended gens 3 and 4 one year because of remakes, but now they just don't give a fuck.

oh you patternfags

and moreso the fact that ORAS happened as a smokescreen to the fact Gen VI had less monsters or the transition to DS from GBA was all about getting accustomed to their online infrastructure.

3 years is probably the norm now.

>>32467323
It's always been the norm, 4 years only happened twice.

>>32467323
And going back to three years when they have more work to do is a really bad idea.

FRLG and Emerald came out the same year in Japan. Gen 3 was extended because DP were delayed a year because Gamefreak was having trouble moving to the DS.

Makes sense with Tokyo Olympics starting

Huh, did not know that. I always thought they gave gen 3 more time to give each game enough time to shine. Now the Battle Frontier season in the anime makes sense.

I want another 4 year generation.

>>32468441
Me too, gens 5 and 6 felt way too short, 4 years is enough time for me to feel content with a gen and move on.

never a joy test

>>32467754
They would probably just have development overlap, to be honest

Making 140+ monsters and keeping half of them for one gen now and one gen later every 3 years will probably be the standard for the sake of mileage.
