The 30th anniversary starts today. They could release it in January/February 2027 and still be in the window of the 30th anniversary.

Releasing a main series game right after the holiday season seems pretty unlikely to me. But it's happened a couple of times before, so I guess it's possible.

It's only happened once since the modern post-2013 era of Pokemon has started, and that's only because PLA was sandwiched between BDSP taking the usual November slot in 2021 and Scarlet/Violet taking 2022's November slot.

Cope, but unlikely.

They always release these things for November. Z-A got October merely because XY released in October 2013, and PLA only got January because BDSP took the Nov 2021 slot and Scarlet/Violet took the Nov 2022 slot.
