In honor of the 20th anniversary of the Pokémon, Nintendo is rereleasing Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow on the Nintendo 3DS eShop. The company has also put together a Nintendo New 3DS bundle for North America and three Nintendo 2DS bundles for Europe. In each case, the bundles come with special Home menu themes to celebrate the series. Serebii was able to get images of the three themes.
The three Nintendo 3DS Home menu themes each correspond to one of the games. In Europe, the Nintendo 2DS bundle you purchase determines which theme you get. There are bundles for Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow, and each one has its own theme.
The Nintendo New 3DS bundle in North America comes with both Pokémon Red and Blue pre-installed and includes the Red and Blue Home themes as a result. Nintendo has not said if these themes will be exclusive to the bundles.
Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow will be available on the Nintendo 3DS eShop on February 27, 2016. North America will get the Nintendo New 3DS Pokémon Red and Blue bundle and Europe will get the three Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow Nintendo 2DS bundles on February 27 as well.

http://www.technobuffalo.com/2016/02/25/pokemon-sun-and-moon-trademark-leak/Pokémon Sun and Moon leak, trademarked before tomorrow’s Direct
Nintendo is hosting a Pokémon Direct tomorrow morning. That was announced earlier this week. What wasn’t announced, however, was the full scope of what they’d cover during that presentation.
Well, a fresh Trademark filed in Europe might have leaked the massive reveal. Nintendo trademarked Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, complete with the logos you see at the head of this post.
The trademark filing occurred today, February 25, 2016, and it was filed in both English and German. The filing was first noticed by newcomer outlet NerdLeaks, though we’ve searched the database and found the trademarks as well. Their existence has been confirmed.
If Z was coming out, it would have been announced. They wouldn't announce a Gen 6 game after announcing Gen 7.
Yeah, there's a Pokemon Direct tomorrow, well actually in about 5 hours if you want to get super technical and all. But they have revealed Pokemon from Gens before their respective release via anime and other means. It doesn't necessarily mean Gen 6 is over.
It's not impossible, but I'm still super skeptic that Gen 7 will be unveiled tomorrow. It's not like X/Y wasn't successful or anything, and the third version has been a thing since Black/White, and even it had sequels which I think can be argued to still fit within that model. For them to just skip that, which has been a very lucrative model and way of fleshing out the generation seems unlikely. There's also a lot of stuff with Zygarde that hasn't been in the games, yet, so it doesn't make a lot of sense to me that they're just going hang that out to dry.
I'm thinking that Sun/Moon could be Gen 7, but they've just trademarked it earlier than usual, or it's X-2/Y-2, but they have changed the naming scheme to reflect some specific change(s).
I think they just wanted to ride off the legacy of the series and bring some visual nostalgia.No footage. No new info outside of chinese added as a language option and the ability to transfer from RBY. Why even bother with a live Direct? That's a press release at the most.
