If the mechanics break compatibility with XY and ORAS so it can't battle at all with them then yeah. Otherwise no.

On the opposite token if SM has
>has the same graphics/aesthetic as XY/ORAS in both battles and overworld
>can battle and trade with XY and ORAS as long as you take new megas/Pokemon out of your party
>doesn't change any of the battle mechanics from XY and ORAS
>still uses the same pentagon system like XY and ORAS
>has the whole PSS/amie/super training system on the bottom screen like XY and ORAS
>has 50 new Pokemon in Hawaii inspired region
>has a Zygarde subplot

will gen 7 fags still call it gen 7?

>so it can't battle at all with them then yeah

then yeah I'll call it gen 7*

If Sun/Moon end up being on the NX then it's gen 7

Yes, because they will simply move the goalposts every single time

>>25810358
If it has the same overworld graphisms and battle models as XY/ORAS and is a direct sequel to them but has like 15 (to stay within what Masuda hinted) new pokemon, is that a new gen to you?

>>25810383
yes

>>25810358
Yes, they're that stupid.

>>25810479
Only to pass for retard when the real next generation comes out with new handhelm, new graphisms, shittons of new pokemon and a third game, thus singleing XY and SM as part of the same generation

>>25810405
What about Gen 4 and 5? They were on the same handheld.

>>25810473
>to stay within what Masuda hinted
You fucking autistic retard, did you even watch the stream, he was joking.

>>25810358
Yes they would, because they'll just move the goal posts again so that they're "right"

>>25810402
so the adjoint of gen 7?

Let's just be real here. People will be calling SuMo "Gen 6.5" no matter what is revealed just because they know idiots will take the bait. It's a (forced) meme now, we're going to have to be dealing with it for at least a few years.

>>25810358
Yes
Gen 6.5fags will be calling SM Gen 6.5 until the SM remakes come out

>>25810358
Depends
