.I think what will happen is that the next handheld will provide some kind of 'cloud' type gaming, and in the context of Pokemon what this will mean is that there will be online servers you connect to and those will serve as the old regions. A little bit like visiting a friend's town in Animal Crossing, except the 'town' (Region) will be on Nintendo's servers, meaning you can revisit old regions without having to worry about the limitations of the console itself (Which will no doubt hold a huge region anyway). This'd be good because they could effectively set up events, different Pokemon appearances and so on on these 'cloud' servers, replacing the dreamworld. I'm not sure if the regions would play like an MMORPG or just be like single player regions but I certainly see this as the direction they'd go in next. The 3DS is really great for staying online and the whole online process feels really fluid so I can see this being possible in the next handheld.
