Long ago, at the time Pokemon X and Y were announced, I read an article on some website that said that the name "X and Y" was predicted for a Pokemon game back in 2008, even before Black and White were announced! It was on some Yahoo! Questions thing.
Here's the article itself, if you wanna read it.

This lead me to realize that some of the names for the Pokemon games are not that hard to predict. Black and White could have been predicted by anyone that's played Red and Blue.

And so, I realized it's entirely possible for someone to predict the names of the games for the seventh generation and beyond. But I don't want to limit this thread to that: we still don't know what the names of R/S remakes would be (if they happened), or even remakes for D/P and beyond. And what about sequels to other Pokemon series, like Ranger, Conquest, or Mystery Dungeon? We don't even know if they will happen, but that doesn't mean we can't come up with suitable names for what they could be.

Here are some of my own suggestions, some of which are silly, but possible nonetheless:

(For the next Kalos games:)
Pokemon Z (third version only)
Pokemon X2/Y2 OR XZ/YZ OR ZX/ZY (two "third" versions)

(R/S remakes/sequels/whatever:)
Pokemon Crimson (Ruby)/ Aqua (Sapphire)
Pokemon Ruby 2/Sapphire 2
Pokemon Red Emerald/Blue Emerald (yes, those exist)
Pokemon Raging Ruby/Storming Sapphire (I think I saw this on some fanart)
Pokemon Land/Sea
Pokemon Water/Ground

(Random ideas)
Pokemon A,B,C.....T,U,V,W (i.e. any of the letters in the English alphabet not already used)
Pokemon Purple, Pink, Grey, (and any other unused colours)
Pokemon Alpha, Beta, Gamma (and the rest of the Greek alphabet)
Pokemon Square, Circle, Triangle, Pentagon (and the rest of the 2D shapes.)
Pokemon Cube, Sphere, Pyramid, Cylinder (and the rest of the 3D shapes)
Pokemon Dark and Light
Pokemon Ice and Fire (Pokemon/Game of Thrones crossover)(I'm joking.)
Pokemon Space and Time (D/P remakes?)
Pokemon Life and Death (X/Y remakes?)

Yeah, that's all I got for now. I might think of more later.
Theoretically, if enough people come up with ideas for the names of the future games, one of said names should be correct. (Although we won't know which ones until they're actually used.) So what do you think the names of any future Pokemon games could be?

I would totally play this. Not even kidding.

In all seriousness, I like Pokémon Z for the next gen 6 game.

Also, I feel like there should've been a Pokémon Grey, after Black and White.

Pokémon Purple and Orange.

That prediction was actually made in jest, it was never intended to be taken seriously.

I know, my sentence was just badly worded. That's why I said later on, "Here are some of my own suggestions, some of which are silly, but possible nonetheless". Just because it was made in jest, doesn't mean it's not possible. And one cannot actually know if it was in fact made as a joke, since the question was about guessing the names of the new Pokemon games... The guy didn't say it was a joke, although it likely was, but that doesn't disprove the fact that one could "guess" the name of the future Pokemon titles.
 
Pokemon Plus and Minus *bricked*

Okay, but seriously. Terra Ruby and Aqua Sapphire would be good names for RS remakes, for the next Kalos game they could do Z, XZ and YZ (for paired third versions), or X2 and Y2. No idea for new games, they could do just about any kind of duality.
 
Just thought of some more (remember, most of these are not supposed to make sense, I just wrote them to make sure to cover all possibilities)...

Pokemon Truths and Ideals (B/W remakes?)
Pokemon Up/Down/Right/Left (mentioned in the article I mentioned before)
Pokemon North/South/East/West
Pokemon Zero and Infinity
Pokemon Power/Wisdom/Courage (Pokemon/Zelda crossover?)
Pokemon Order and Chaos
Pokemon Harmony and Conflict
Pokemon Sea and Sky
Pokemon Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars (and any other planets/Roman gods)
Pokemon Zues, Poseidon, Chronus, (and any other Greek gods)
Pokemon Past/History and Future
Pokemon Horizontal and Vertical (basically, X and Y)
Pokemon Nature and Technology
Pokemon Yin and Yang (Also B/W remakes?)
Pokemon Good and Evil
Pokemon Justice and Corruption (or Injustice?)
Pokemon Heroes and Villains

(Expanding on @Shiny Ditto's ideas of gemstones....)
Pokemon Quartz/Turquoise/Amethyst/Agate/Opal/Onyx/Amber/Topaz and any other gemstone you can think of.

X2 and Y2 for sequels.

I like the way you think. What about ZX and ZY?

I think "Pokémon: Tyrants Rule" would be an amazing game. I've created the complete storyline for it and I hope it soon becomes a game.
 
Before Pokémon Black and White were announced, I had my money on the next pair being called Garnet and Amethyst (I would totally love Garnet as it's my birthstone). Then after BW, we received Black 2/White 2 and then X/Y. So what comes next is anyone's guess really.

I think "Magma Ruby" and "Aqua Sapphire" would be the best names for RS remakes, because y'know.
 
Z is almost a given. It would be really surprising if we didn't get it. But GameFreak has been surprising before. So yeah I could also see it become something like Zx and Zy, or something similar.

I really have no idea what the next generation's games are going to be called, since they apparently abandoned the colour theme now. Personally I would like a Pokémon Future and Pokémon Past (something similar would be good too).
 
Praseodymium and Neodymium.

No, seriously, the "dym" part means "twin" which is like perfect for referring to a pair of related legendaries. The third version could be Promethium, with a cover legend based on the legend of Prometheus.
 
Pokemon Ranger Mega
Pokemon Zearl and Zimand
Pokemon Rage Ruby Serene Shappire

Elements number 59, 60 and 61.
Cool idea, I forgot to use elements from the periodic table.... But why did you choose these three elements specifically? Imo, the noble gases have much cooler names: e.g. Pokemon Neon and Pokemon Xenon.

Why not "Mega Ranger"? Sounds more natural.
Did you just get the names "Zearl and Zimand" by replacing some of the first letters of "Pearl and Diamond"? As in, for DP remakes? But why replace the it with "Z"" specifically?
Rage Ruby and Serene Sapphire sound good.

Pokemon Radiant Diamond and Luminous Pearl (D/P remakes/sequels)
Pokemon Shining Diamond and Glowing Pearl (D/P remakes/sequels)

Pokemon Violet and Indigo with the third game being Purple. They would all be the same game despite people's insistence that they are indeed different.
 
Didn't someone predict X/Y on the thread of that Nintendo direct, the day before the announcement, here on BMGf? Is that thread still around?
