your right to some extent, as pokemon have gotten more complex, nintendo needed to switch to a new way of saving the pokemon themselves. They developed a way of not only saving varbels to the indivdual pokemon, but (this is speculation based off what I know from rom hacking and my expiernce as c++)varibels for the capture of the pokemon, the things you have dont like battles, Then there is some way seeing if the pokemon is not hacked(that has to be some complicated code as far as I can figure) Thats a lot of data, trust me. The music may not be saved as music file but the old way of doing it?( command prompts for the nosies them selves, I mean realy realy old here) Because its so simple?Actually, I think music takes up exponentially more space than anything else on a game cart. Pokemon are stored as a few pictures and a couple of variables and don't take up all that much space, so they could conceivably add more without much trouble. Those DS carts can fit TONS of data; developers haven't had to worry about running out of space on their media for years now.
As for the theory that Nintendo does everything in threes... well, this is the fourth generation.
I personally don't think Nintendo has a grand master plan for the series, much less a conclusion to the series. They'll stop putting out the games when they stop being profitable.
