Actually if the game is built on an entirely different engine, it would technically be a new generation.
Yeah no.
BW is gen 5, despite being build on the same engine as D/P/P, which means in your logic gen 5 is still gen 4, which means XY is gen 5 and SUMO/USUM are also gen 5, which means we will get gen 6 on the Switch.
New region, new starters, new mascots, completely new Pokemon that couldn't be found before = new generation.
