Ash will not return to the Hoenn region! May is gone to another region, Brock is in Kanto. Ash has completed his duty in the Hoenn. What business does he have there?
He went to Kanto, and the Battle Frontier wasn't even in Kanto at the time, they could make Ash go there for a unique reason, although I doubt it. Anyway, this isn't about the anime.
Also, just because Crystal came out early, it doesn't mean that it will happen this time, they could put a lot of thought into it, so it should take longer to come out, the 3rd game should come out in 2013 or sometime near then. As for FR/LG, well they probably did it early because they thought that since the Ruby/Sapphire had some new changes to the games, that they thought the 1st generation was becoming forgotten, so then they even it out by doing another 3rd gen game afterwards. And for Platinum coming before Johto, we can tell that Platinum looked and felt different compared to Diamond and Pearl, compared to the changes from Emerald and Ruby and Sapphire, so they wanted to show off Platinum sooner. Then they did the remakes for the 2nd gen, they probably wanted more time on it, so they did Platinum first.
As for this time, what do we need more, 3rd game? Or remakes?
I say 3rd games, I could imagine them improving some things for Black and White and adding more things as well, and they could do a lot and I mean, a lot more improvements for the remakes, so I think the 3rd Game would be more likely to come out first, but I don't think the "New Game" that the magazine is talking about, is referring to either of those, more likely a Spin-off like Pokemon Ranger or Mystery Dungeon.
