End of Pokemon Horizons?

I know it’s unlikely, but it’s still a possibility worth talking about. What if we’re getting a Gen 10 game and anime this November? It would explain why they’re so close to finishing the main story of Horizons (Lucius-Rakua arc).

If not for a new game, the only other options seem to be side stories like Orange Islands, Battle Frontier, or maybe just endless fillers.

We often make the mistake of trying to impose our own logic on their decisions. Remember when Pokémon Scarlet launched just a month after PLA, and everyone said, ‘This time is the last time’? Well, maybe not.
