i'll start this clearly, i don't believe in any way that there won't be a third version, to me that is PURE, BAD-SMELLING, BURNED, BULLSHIT
and here i'll post the best quotes regarding this.

this is pokemon company's protocol as well. i once got to have a heart-to-heart with a pokemon company employee. since i run a merchandise community, i asked him merchandise stuff, including, are you guys going to make raikou, entei and suicune pokedolls now that HGSS is coming out? and he said no. we will not be making those. absolutely not.

weeks later? they were announced. these dolls are planned up to half a year ahead of time. he even sought me out in the store and said "did you see the announcement? sorry i told you we'd never make them... THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY TO THOSE KINDS OF QUESTIONS."


this is such crap, i say again.

I believe we'll get one and I'm not going to stop believing until we're in Gen 6. It worked with HGSS and it'll work again. They're business. A third version will sell.

Which is that Black & White sold an insane number of copies. It broke all the sales records for a Nintendo DS game in Japan (the previous record holder was Dragon Quest IX), and it seems to be on track to be doing the same thing in the U.S.

Not releasing a third version would be the equivalent of Nintendo saying "no thanks; we have enough money already." Platinum sold around 7 million copies, and Emerald sold around 6 million. While these numbers aren't as impressive as the games that came before them(Diamond & Pearl sold more than twice as much as Platinum, for example), those numbers are still nothing to sneeze at.

Grey/Gray would most certainly give Nintendo millions and millions of dollars.

As others have said, this is nothing more than PR / mistranslation / ignorance on the part of a TCG illustrator, of all people. You don't tell fans that a newer, better version of a game is coming out before the original version is even released. That's Business 101.
