Well, we also know that the 3DS was limited, so if they wanted to do significantly more with Kalos, they may have been held back by the hardware. So if we get a return to France that has remotely anything to do with Kalos, it could be content that was withheld from the first games- which may also explain why we didn't get a Z, because there's sure nothing like having a big huge plan of what you want to do and not being able to do it.On the possibility of the next region being inspired by Southern France. I think it can happen, but it's unlikely to have been premeditated since XY as some people think, because:
So, I think the next region can be inspired by Southern France. But I don't think the absence of the XY's third version has anything to do with it. Even if it happens, I don't think it would be something planned from the beginning.
- From what we can see by interviews, the Director of the games chooses the place where the region will be inspired from by the themes and the names of the versions, that he also chooses himself previously. They probably were not even thinking about the themes and the names of the next games at the time of XY yet.
- Masuda was the Director of XY. Shigeru will probably be the director of the next games, not Masuda.
- If they were planning to make another region inspired by France posteriorly, to continue the Kalos' lore, why put Zygarde and his new forms in Sun and Moon, instead of holding them for this new region?
- It has been said in some interview that the anime, somehow, would "close" Kalos lore.
I personally still believe they were there solely for the cave paintings, not for the region itself.
I do think that a phone app could be likely... kinda look forward to it if it does turn out to be one, because it would be interesting to see how that would work.I’ve seen people speculate that it’ll be a successor for Pokémon Bank, but it’ll also be available as an App for Phones and the like, because said people pointed out Monpoké could mean Monster Pocket.
I was referring to people who believe that the absence of XY third version directly increases the chances of Kalos reappearing again soon. As if it had been planned by Game Freak all the time. If it had been planned, why not hold Zygarde's forms so far? AZ Floette also appeared in Generations (and even in the game), and even so they are still holding it until now.EDIT: @Myth I think that they put Zygarde's formes in Gen VII because they got cut for some reason in Gen VI, but were re-added to the games because the anime decided to use them. Doesn't help that the reason they are in Alola sounds like a hand-wave.
I don't know, I feel like nintendo has cracked down on leaks recentlywe knew that we were getting a pokemon game announced in feb weeks before the s/m trademarks were leaked though. There was a leaked NOA scheduling list that included "Pokemon Niji" on it and was described as a "20th anniversary celebration game" .
I agree with if the announcement were truly imminent, we'd probably have more rumblings when it comes to leaks/trademarks/hinting etc
Gonna chip in to agree that Z probably wasn't planned (or that if they ever had any hope to make one, it was scrapped early on. XD)I was referring to people who believe that the absence of XY third version directly increases the chances of Kalos reappearing again soon. As if it had been planned by Game Freak all the time.

I think XY didn't have a third version because they just didn't want to do one, not because they're still preparing a return to Kalos or something. And Zygarde has a certain relationship with Sun and Moon, since theoretically he is the defender of the earth (Earth~Sun~Moon), so it made sense to me. I wasn't questioning that.

It's probably just lazyfreak forgetting to remove itEternal Flower Floette is apparently still in the game data in Gen 7, but Cosplay Pikachu's data was removed.
Well it's a given that they transferred the database and models. There's no reason to build it all from the ground up when the models were just being reused anyway. But they did remove Cosplay Pikachu and you'd think with Eternal Flower Floette's model being known, they would have taken the opportunity to remove it if it wasn't ever going to be used.It's probably just lazyfreak forgetting to remove it
Like they probably just transfered the Gen 6 database and models to gen 7
They gave Eternal Floette a Pokédex entry in USUM and altered Light of Ruin’s animation for Gen VII.It's probably just lazyfreak forgetting to remove it

I didn't even realize that bit- this is getting even more interesting. XDThey gave Eternal Floette a Pokédex entry in USUM and altered Light of Ruin’s animation for Gen VII.

Smash never leaked before it was announced. We haven't had any major leaks since LGPE (well we did have smash leaks, but that was after the game was revealed)
Nintendo and TPCI are probably more self-aware when It comes to leaks now. USUM wasn't even trademarked until after it was revealed, and they will probably do the same for gen 8
They probably didn't have it on their mind. They were making new forms for pikachu, so that was obvious for them to remove the cosplay pikachus because they were a waste of space. They probably didn't even notice eternal floette was thereWell it's a given that they transferred the database and models.

They also updated its signature move animation from Gen 6 to Gen 7 tho..It's probably just lazyfreak forgetting to remove it

Like @SGD pointed out, though, they gave it a pokedex entry and edited its signature move, so obviously they didn't forget that it was there.They probably didn't have it on their mind.
