Can't delay a game when it has no release window, champ. GF announced DP when they didn't even have an engine figured out for it.
Who gives a shit

Because the release was delayed
Nice cherrypicking
This was my point:

obviously Gen 4 is a special case and should be ignored
It doesn't matter if it was delayed or prematurely announced, the point is they're not going to do that again

Congrats, you brushed off an article as lazy research without doing any of your own. This one even links to a Japanese article with tweets from companies and fans talking about the situation in the comments. It's been news for weeks.
Okay but that still doesn't mention any other arcades actually discontinuing the machine, if it was really hurting them and they hated it that much then why did only one arcade pull the plug
It's also outdated now that Shadow Mewtwo exists (article mentions "lack of boss battles") which has generated a lot of hype, and they're doing an event featuring Shadow Mewtwo in the coming weeks
We'll see how that affects profits soon enough

Yes, which is why I said I was annoyed that it's taken them this long. They do not need to make an engine, they pushed out ORAS within a year of dev time when they confirmed that the X/Y team were on it, and we're already getting hooks in with the anime about future releases which usually happen after it is announced. Game Freak can do what they want and even announce a game a month before release if they want to (though marketing, leak prevention, etc. would not be worth doing so). The entire point of this argument is how it's frustrating as a fan to get nothing but "sit tight" for over a year with no payoff.
You poor thing, let me dry your tears with a Duke Nukem Forever

It's only been a year, and next year is the 20th anniversary, of course they're not just going to keep things hidden for long

You're bodaciously arguing with me over whether my opinion of them delaying a game announcement is good or not. And that's silly. I'd rather them announce early and spend a year hyping the game rather than playing coy about it. That's my gripe, not whether GF is allowed to do this with their IP.
You can still speculate without a game announcement, can't you? The only difference is you don't have the game's name. Remember the announcement of ORAS? Oh boy, boxart and rumbling! We were left with that for a few days, then a teaser of Kyogre and Groudon rising out of the water. Then nothing else for a while. At that point we weren't even sure if they were actually remakes or sequels made out of the blue. So we speculated. Pretend your preferred game name was just shown with some made-up boxart, then a trailer with Zygarde wriggling around in a cave. There you go, speculate away!
