Yes, just a rumor for now. Could be the truth. Does not know for the time being.
Guesses Generation 10 to be on a (still unannounced) new console. Doubts a new generation this year. Produced one every three years, of late (2016, 2019, 2022). Places it in 2025. Agrees on it being a good idea for them to take their time. Will they? Probably not.
Probably sticks the next remake on the Switch...maybe? Is not familiar with the typical time frame between console announcement and launch, admittedly. Officially announced the Switch in October 2016. Launched in March 2017. Equals about five months. Could go either way.
