The Next Pokémon Game - Rainbow?

TLDR, but tbh, once the info 'bout Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon went up, I thought about possible sequel (aka third game) to those two (if this is incorrect thread, please move)
First: did you notice, that past two generations had no third version? BW → B2W2 / XY → “nothing” (ORAS as remake doesn't count)
Still, for both generations, there's possible way to “easily” estimated it shoudl be Pokémon Grey and Pokémon Z respectively, but what about Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon?

I tried to speculate about possible name:

1) Pokémon Star
2) Pokémon Eclipse or Pokémon Twilight (not fan 'bout those films…)
3) Pokémon Rainbow (sure, I see I'm not the only to thought 'bout this name)

Aside the fact, there probably wouldn't be any third game, the reasons are follows:
to the first possible name – both sun and moon are space objects, which stars are too
to the second possible name – during eclipse / twilight there are both sun and moon in the air at the same time
to the third possible name – IDK, not specifical reason

If possible “sequel” of Sun and Moon will be something like in BW era, it should be not Sun 2 and Moon 2, it should be Pokémon Day and Pokmon Night…

But enough of my speculations, now it's your turn – whaddya think 'bout this?

Its a good guess, but at this point, all bets are off knowing GF's decision making, so we can't really know. Its also way too early to start speculating about any possible third versions for the newest of games which have yet to be featured in terms of Starters, the region itself, the Legendaries, general features, any new mechanics, etc. However, if I had to give a guess anyways, I'd put my bets on Eclipse or Twilight. The option of going with a sequel akin to BW2 is also viable, with the whole Day and Night naming, but a better name would be Dawn and Dusk. It won't be anything like Star, because the Sun is a star to begin with. I'm also not taking any belief in anything named Pokémon "Rainbow" because "Niji", (its japanese translation) was confirmed to be the codename for Sun and Moon.

But overall, its too early to start speculating about these so-called third versions. Chances are they have been ditched completely for a new refreshing cycle of releases, now that all Games, starting from the XY series are global releases from the get go, which is a great thing to do. If that means that third versions have been ditched for this to happen, I have no issue with it. Times change, and so should the Pokémon series in terms of releases. I believe for myself that Third Versions have been ditched forever, as the XY series didn't have the common speculated Z.

Now, people may think: "what about the loose ends of Kalos's story, such as Zygarde's plot, etc, etc". Chances are, if we are lucky, that Gen 7 is akin to the Gold and Silver era with two full blown regions, and in which, hopefully incorporates Zygarde's plot, as he's speculated to have something to do with the Sun and Moon. That is all we can hope about, until we know more.

We will just have to wait for CoroCoro until then, for further info.
