Strongly suspect it will be until a third version, seeing as they cited development times


Game Freak is under a tight schedule when it comes to development times. There was a 4 year cycle for DP and BW, then we started getting new generations every 3 years.

The shift to a 3 year cycle might have been forced upon them by either Nintendo or The Pokemon Company because the games sell so well that they want Game Freak to put out Pokemon games more frequently to cash in on Pokemon's huge sales for the games. This may have affected the quality of the games as Game Freak has less time to produce a very polished game.

Another issue that everything else works off the games. A new generation means new seasons of the anime, new merchandise, and new TCG sets. So this means that Game Freak is under pressure to pump out new generations of games on a frequent basis because Pokemon has additional revenue streams (TCG, merchandise, etc) beyond just the games itself.
