Imagine the kind of projects they're jumping around right now... it must be like cooking four dishes at once, and making sure they're made perfectly. The one year releases will take a toll on them eventually if it hasn't already.

It may be a bad thing in the long run as they start to not have as many ideas as before. But for remakes one year is good, not much new stuff are needed (just development of the world, etc.) for them, so they make for a refreshing break from new generation pairs. If they do a third version then they'll get another relative "break". In the mean time they can focus all their remaining effort on Gen VIII.
I have to agree that GF has started to predictably and expectedly release games. If anything, all Pokémon fans would be steamed if the games don't come out in the right amount of time. But since the remakes already have most of the game planned out, and Z is just X&Y with a few modifications, the planning department may as well be fresh with new ideas for spinoffs and VII Gen as soon as they get done with Z.

They leave the spin offs to others, so all their new ideas will got to VII ^_^.


And even if 'Z' ends up being a sequel it proably won't require much ideas other than in the story area (and some new Megas/formes for the legends).

I kinda agree with you on that one. The last time GF actually shocked us is with B2W2 because we really did not expect it. For all we know, Z might be a prequel instead, tying ORAS and XY's storyline together. I hope Gen 7 will yield some new ideas and such, fresher than the other 6 generations did.

Are you kidding? It's not soon enough! I've been waiting for this remake all of my life, and low-quality ROM hacks have not satisfied me enough. I want this damn game in my hands right now.

Really? The announcement of these remakes shocked me, mostly because I expected something like the reveal of HgSs and B2W2 which were announced on the Pokemon Variety show in Japan. Or in a Pokemon Direct like XY were.

Since most of us were hardpressing for remakes already, I think people just thought "About time."
Okay, maybe it's a bit unexpected, but only because we expected it earlier. It's kind of weird XD

Then again, much of X&Y was also quite unexpected. What I really find unexpected is that with the release date so soon, I wonder why they never leaked any of this out earlier. Then it wouldn't seem 'too soon', as we would have been aware that these games were under development for longer time.

They (general they @ video game companies) not usually reveal what they are developing off the bat, especially with the bigger titles, as that takes away from their ability to build up hype for a game (it's hard to do that if it's years away), especially when they release a game every year or two as it is as well (meaning in this case they would have mentioned RSE remakes before X&Y came out). It's also more or less standard for what they've done for previous game announcements as well, and it's seemed to work for them.

They did a good job at keeping it underwraps. The only hint we had something game related was coming was from a post (it was facebook irc) that hinted at something big happening in Pokemon this year. We got slightly less time to speculate than XY, but I guess it's alright considering the current wait for some of us is exasperating...
