According to a comment that theme has been a fan-wanted one for 5 years? So probably fake?

A Gamefreak roadmap leaked with their projects until 2030, it seems legit.
The most surprising part (or is it?) of the roadmap were the low budgets. The new 'main' games have a 20M budget, Z-A had a 13M budget. Considering their profit margins, that's criminally low lol. They could make these games so much better if they wanted to.

Yeah this seems legit to me too. As for the budget, I wonder how much of this is the decision to purposely not spend more money vs. the belief that the games are ideal as is (and the devs don't want to change anything else).

More about the timeline/leaks:
