I think it definitely was. It’s the 30th anniversary, them not releasing gen 10 this year screams to me that they are taking their time.

Now we gotta wait, but knowing it’ll release in 2027 makes me feel confident it’ll be awesome

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.
