Well, if I had to guess I would imagine they are releasing another couple of Pokemon games featuring the traditional cast of monsters, "due to popular demand" due to the way they sort of rebooted things for the new games... trying to see if they can sustain 4 titles of pretty much the same thing at one time.
Yes, I'm a cynic, but I figure the only way to discontinue a popular body of mythology/lore like that would be to try and re-introduce it later. I just would have expected it to have taken longer if I'm correct.
As far as a Pokemon MMO goes, I'm not entirely sure how that could be implemented to begin with, still just due to the branding that would probably be a nightmare to both Activision and EA, turning the upcoming WoW vs. Old Republic matchup into a three way battle.
