maybe they're realizing that Pokemon is such a massive all-encompassing franchise among gamers that they don't need to release third versions of games. plus those were usually there to fix up on any bugs or mechanics of the ones that preceded it (eg crystal > gold &silver), and i guess since Game Freak has learned so much since then they don't need to milk the series or do cleaning up as much anymore.
the rest of the games they've been putting out other than new generations have been pretty much giving the fans what they want (black and white 2 and the gen 3 remakes mostly).
however, i could see a pokemon z coming out at some point. It's just too perfect a title.
