So I still have to hope for proper new games to come out in 2019 so here is what I'm thinking:
"Let's Go Pikachu" being a Kanto remake makes it possible for the thing to still come out this year despite not being announced; if it's a remake there is literally nothing, or very little, new to show us so a shorter pre-release period (say E3 to Holiday season) would make sense. I mean the most new stuff you're gonna get are probably some special moves for Eevee and the overrated yellow thing, some new story episodes/bonus areas and the mentioned Pokemon GO integration. Not that much to build a long, hype-train on, unless they want to walk us through every single city/location (which really, what's the point, we know Kanto)

That wouldn't be a "reboot". A reboot would be erasing everything and from the beginning again and act like what came after the very beginning never happened. Which would be absolutely terrible and unneeded for Pokemon.I don't think this will be a remake. More like a reboot. Kanto 20 or so years later. Where it has evolved. New story, new characters, new features. Especially with all the new Pokémon discovered.
