Do Pokemon game releases follow a pattern?
I know I’m n the only one to notice this, but every time a Pokémon game came out on a new handheld, the next game would be a remake. For Example, when Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald were released as the first Pokémon games for the advance, the next games were remakes, FireRed and Leaf Green. Also after Diamond and Pearl were released for the ds, the next Ds Pokémon game in the series was HeartGold/SoulSilver remakes of the 2nd generation, Since a mainline Pokémon game, Pokémon X/Y have been released, will the next game follow this pattern and be a 3rd Gen Remake?

No. There is no actual way to say this, and no way to confirm if even if it were true, unless Nintendo came out and said it
While you have noticed a half pattern it doesn’t really follow right. Okay so it was;Pokémon Red/Green/Blue - Game BoyPokémon Yellow - Gameboy ColorPokémon Gold/Silver - Gameboy ColorPokémon Crystal - Gameboy ColorPokémon Ruby and sapphire - Gameboy AdvancePokémon FireRed/LeafGreen - Gameboy AdvancePokémon Emerald- Gameboy AdvancePokémon Diamond/Pearl - Nintendo DSPokémon Platinum - Nintendo DSPokémon Heartgold/Soulsilver - Nintendo DSPokémon Black/White - Nintendo DSPokémon Black2/White2 - Nintendo 3DS/Nintendo DSPokémon X/Y - Nintendo 3DS
but every time a Pokémon game came out on a new handheld, the next game would be a remake.
Technically no. The Gameboy Color had no remake (Excuseable since they only did the Second and First gens by that time). Additionally, Pokémon B2W2 was technically released on 3DS, as well as DS. That makes X/Y theSecondgame on the 3DS. And it’s not a remake. Also on the GBA and DS there were 2 remakes - one of a previous generation, one of that generation (DP –> Platinum, RS —> Emerald). Additionally, everyone was ‘predicting’ with Black/White Nintendo would follow their previous pattern and release a Third game, Something like Pokémon Grey. Guess what. They didn’t.
Personally I think your pattern is a little off, and even if it was right it would be impossible to confirm anything. And the fact Nintendo has no logic, so their patterns shouldn’t either.
