@Laoldar, With nearly a year of sales in Japan already, and shipped to major markets around the globe, we can assume that a third version for this generation is probably now in the works. I would expect it out in April/May in Japan and Sept/Oct in North America. Japan has just released Pokemon Mysterious (Mystery)Dungeon 2: Time/Darkness Exploration Team (VG Chartz Japanese sales). This is intended to keep the interest running high for the under 12 demographic. Once the sales wane for PKMN MD2, as these are merely stop gaps between the major releases, we will probably see Pokemon Opal or whatever name they'll decide on released mid-Spring 08 for Japan.
