You know
Main games year 1
Year 2 no games
Year 3 third games
Year 4 remakes
Year 5 next gen
We are coming close to year 4 that's why I'd assumed we'd be getting some type of main game.
And like I stated in my post the remakes DOESN'T have to be gen 5. All I ever stated was that all gen 5 main games should stay on the same platform .
And I agree with the hopie guy it really all depends on what games freak has been working on

Major problem with your timeline. There are only 4 years between Generations from Gen 3 to 4 and 4 to 5. Your's is a 5 year gap.
Next issue, Gen 3 and Gen 4's remakes were released differently. FR/LG were released before Emerald while HG/SS were released after Platinum. While it doesn't play much support, this could mean that we may not get the Remakes at all or we could get them. A lot of it has to do with the next issue with the time line.
Last issue, Takao Unno and Junichi Masuda already said that the release order was just a coincidence. That was never planned. When they finish one game they start on the next with no between planning (This is a guess since it sounded like they didn't plan anything about B/W until they actually started on the games.)
As for Techincal vs Pokemon Generations.
Pokemon HG/SS was better quality graphics than D/P/Pt. I only say this because of the cinematic parts with Lugia/Ho-oh which were used in Gen 5 for Kyurem, Zekrom, and Reshiram. So by that technicality, HG/SS would be Gen 5 by technical workings. This obviously isn't true.
Yes, a new Generation is defined when a New Pokemon game with a New Region and new Pokemon are released. Anything before that is released with-in the last generation. Like how all the 3DS games are Gen 5 despite vastly different systems.
Fire Red/Leaf Green/Emerald were all released in the same year too.
Gen 3 also had a funky set. Ruby/Sapphire were released in 2002. Fire Red/Leaf Green/Emerald were all released in 2004, 2 years later. Then there was nothing in 2005.
Gen 4 came out in 2006. We had nothing in 2007. 2008 We got Platinum. 2009 Ended Gen 4 with Heart Gold/Soul Silver.
Black and White came out in 2010.
So there isn't even a defined timeline to follow.
