tl;dr: it's officially announced that GAMEFREAK is making new games for the DS
Gamefreak doesn't make any spin-off Pokemon games, only the main series
The time between the release of ruby/sapphire and diamond/pearl is the same time between diamond/pearl and these new games
The time between the release of HG/SS and these games is even longer than the time between LF/FR and Emerald
aaaaand this translation:

An entirely new "Pocket Monsters" series is under development for release in 2010.
The Pokemon Company (headed by Tsunekazu Ishihara) has announced that the newest work in the Pocket Monsters RPG series (Game Freak, Nintendo) is being developed for the Nintendo DS for release by the end of 2010.
Since its first entry, "Pocket Monsters Red and Green" from 1996, the "Pocket Monsters" series has received high acclaim from customers around the world for its distinctive universe and gameplay that involves communicating between different versions to trade and battle. Sales for the entire series have climbed to over 130,000,000 copies worldwide.
The "Pocket Monsters" series for the Nintendo DS made use of the dual screen, touch screen, and Wi-Fi connection for play. The latest project under development is a completely new work, coming four years after "Pocket Monsters Diamond and Pearl" which boasts worldwide sales of over 17,150,000 copies (over 5,800,000 in Japan). It should make an innovative, fresh start by adding even more new game play and new Pokemon.
Please anticipate a later article with news about the game's content.

It will have all worlds, all (half in each) the pokemon available, all gyms, 3 or 4 elite 4's, a new world (the starting one), with some new pokes, but not too many, and custom rules for online, like sleep clause.

Nintendo is never that nice

Besides, since the thing says there will be new Pokemon and gameplay, it's most definitely a new generation

To be honest, if its exactly the same as ....every other main pokemon game, I don't think i'm going to bother with it anymore. Pokemon has worn out its welcome with me, unless they include something to make it significantly different to the past games.

^This. 4th gen lost it for me, because it was the exact same as 3rd gen with a few additions / changes to the game. It's not like we haven't seen that already in the previous gens.

@Nix, I'm still calling for the FINAL gen to do that with an increased Level cap lol
I called for it back with 3rd gen and I'm still holding true to that.

What can they possibly add?

The only thing pokemon really needed was was online play, and we got it.

Pokemon MMO plox?





Also, if we get terrible pokemon like drapion again I'll go virginia in the Nintendo HQ.

Indeed, we now have Pokemon that are Gods. What's next?

It got online play but it was shitty, no multi-battles and dreadful connection complications

Pokemon MMO would be awesome

Reminds me of that youtube fan cartoon...

I am still hyped for HG/SS (US release is like a little over a month or something?) but this is nice to hear.

Drapion was a great Pokemon! I used him in my Team Elite lineup :-)

Stats and move wise, probably.


But the design? Jeez. What the hell is it? Some kind of purple scorpion made of hectagons with arms coming out of its head?

Drapion doesn't even sound good.

Oh gross man, you've got vomit all over your shirt.

I know lol, kinda looks like a pokemon.



And thus, drapion was born.



EDIT ::

I went to look for a picture, and it's actually worse than I remembered.
