Actually Kanto came back on virtual console but those were the original RBY games. Lillie going to Kanto doesn't mean a return to Kanto though. If not Kalos, then Sinnoh would be the next best thing. But that is my opinion.
VC doesn't count because they aren't main series releases, when I say "last time we visited" I mean the last time a new game from a generation had the region in it, XY, ORAS, SM, for example, were the last main series new releases. VC's are re-releases, and basically official emulators, they don't count and I don't think anybody is satisfied with a 16-bit re-release. Almost everybody wants a Kanto sequel. SM has set up for one perfectly. Red finally isn't afraid to go out in public, he was training a bunch for a few years after his journey until finally getting out there in the PWT and even hanging out in Alola for a bit, Blue still makes fun of Red, Lillie is going to be travelling to Kanto. Samson Oak is a new professor we haven't seen before who's related to Samuel Oak. There's all the building blocks to kick off a Kanto sequel.
