I wonder now, why haven't we made this connection. If they want to connect Go and the main series, what if the radio silence on the main series is cause of Go's delay? I would assume they would want them to coexist nearly from the start, and considering that factor, perhaps they had to delay the next iteration as well. Further more, we found out recently that Masuda is working on Go's music as well. I'm starting to wonder how much beyond music is GF working on in the end with Go. And perhaps maybe that's where the key to everything is.
After a Cocurrent sequel with Kalos, that's next on my list. Works with the VC release too. Kanto 20 years ago...and Kanto, 20 years laters.While I wouldn't rule out a Kanto game, especially because they seem to be going all in for the anniversary, the Kanto nods could just be to respect and acknowledge where the series started and that it wouldn't be where it is now without it. Especially with how close we are to the anniversary and how Kanto is their main way of drawing all the older fans into the celebrations too.
So the Kanto celebrations could be looking back in respect (and nostalgia) and pulling in the old fans to the celebrations, and then later, maybe after the anniversary date itself has passed, we'll be dealt whatever card is the "future" of the franchise for the next game. Be it Kalos or something completely different.
Not saying this is what they are doing with certainty, just giving a different input on the Kanto focus.
But if we go back to Kanto (and I'm going to be repetitive here because I've been saying this for like a year now) then I'd really hope they give us some sort of sequel/expansion type game rather than rehash of the original but on 3DS. An updated Kanto could be really interesting with a decent time skip (imagine if it's 20 years after Gen I to coincide with 20 years of Pokemon). With the originals releasing on the VC and in those sweet 3DS/2DS bundles, it does seem more likely that if we are getting a Kanto game it wouldn't just be those but updated.
