Yes. I think it's too early for a new gen, and there's still a lot more they can do with Kalos.

Nothing like some beginning gen pics to get me to go from sleepy to wide awake in a second.
Oh maaaan.
Oh maaaan.
So StreetsAhead pointed this out
Magiana
Gia in Magiana could mean Gear (ギアNote: ギア is used as Gear in Klink, Klang and Klinklang's names
Magiana could also be a play on the Latin word, Machina which means Machine
There's then this scene in the movie trailer
Maybe a Steel/Fairy? I might just be getting thrown off by the dress looking bottom.
I don't understand this. Why is it too early? If you think that they may be rushing out a new gen, then sure, you've got a valid point. But it's been three years since gen 6 started.

And Kalos still has more to offer.
And again as Joe stated revealing new mons doesn't instantly mean next game = next gen.
Because we still have
3 unused moves coded in
1 unused form coded in
1 Mythical yet to be distributed
4 forms revealed but not coded in
1 Ash-Greninja
They never don't use things like this.
It's been 2 years and 4 months.
And all the best pokemon games are the 2nd versions, why would you want them to start skipping over those? If Emerald, Platinum, BW2, etc never existed neither would the huge postgames people are wishing for. Z has a much higher chance of being good than a new pair of gen 7 games, IMO.

Thousand Arrows - a Zygarde signature move (you can see the hexagons). Ground-type, hits Flying-type Pokémon.
Thousand Waves - a Zygarde signature move (you can see the hexagons). Ground-type, prevents opponents from fleeing
Light of Ruin - Fairy-type, Eternal Floette's signature move

Well, yeah.
Though think of a literal sense tho. A little machine god and it will quell all the fighting at the end of the movie.

We are absolutely getting some flavor of Pokemon Z - if we don't, the anime and Tretta become bizarrely orphaned, and there's just no way they're doing all this Zygarde stuff in the anime without an accompanying game tie-in.
I wouldn't be surprised if we end up with a "6.5" generation of some sort, with a few new extra Pokemon to help keep people invested. ORAS was already a "6.25" in that it has a few features, even in the multiplayer, that can only be activated between ORAS cards and not in a XY/ORAS crossover battle (megas etc) so a somewhat more radical ZX-ZY game revision isn't impossible.
Really looking forward to coming reveals on Pokemon Day. Feels like we've been groping for news for a while now.

Could you elaborate on the bolded?
Same for me. I am not ready for Gen VII and eager for another Kalos game.
The unused form coded in is
Eternal Floette aka AZ's immortal Floette.
The announced forms not coded in are
Zygarde's alternate forms.
EDIT: Beaten like a red-headed stepchild by the man himself, heh.
Z's still on the table.

I'm thinking new game announcement on the 27th.
I'd be very surprised if not.

If Z is still a thing, I'd be shocked if it wasn't revealed then.

So a Z announcement on the 27th seems pretty likely. I think Z will be the last 3DS Pokemon game, with gen 7 coming on the NX handheld.
End of May release please so I can buy it before I'm going on holiday. Thanks.

AWW YISSS FUCK ZZZZZ
If Gen 7 stays on 3DS, meaning the engine and the aesthetic aren't revised significantly, Kalos would be very easy to port over. The feature would work as an excellent selling point, and it's been a while since we got a Pokémon game with major plot links to a previous storyline. The only problem is that this really raises the bar and creates expectations Game Freak might not want to have to consistently satisfy.

oh right!
that's for Sinnoh remakes

It's been a long time since the reveal of the first Pokémon of the next generation came at the halfway point of the generation. With both Gens V and VI, the first Pokémon was revealed less than a year before it came out.
Let me just stop you there.

What are the chances they just do a Pokemon Z and add more Pokemon onto Gen VI, rather than releasing a Gen VII game this year? I feel like that's going to happen, and we get Gen 7 in 2017/2018.

So in that case what can they use for gen7? They must be running out of ideas.

Eh. Didn't gen 5 release after 3DS ? Can't remember
Also 3DS only had one gen, while GB and DS had 2 each
they came up with X and Y I'm sure they're fine
Just pick two from this
