Patching could solve a lot of the competitive issues, and balance the game, and stupid overpowered Pokemon glitch shit that happens a lot.

DLC would be pretty cool for Pokemon, I would imagine I'd probably be packs of new monsters and challenges like Gym leaders instead of new areas. I mean, its gonna take forever and a half to upgrade the new 3D engine for the next installment, so this is your second best option to getting a game a year.

I doubt there'd be DLCs for new Monsters. The idea of getting either Y or X is because the most of the Pokemon are on either or. And they still have the Wi-Fi Gift system so getting new items which may or may not unlock certain quests are bound to be available.

I do agree on Patching but...Well to put it this way, even in the new era of patching, there are companies that would rather put out a completely overhauled but essentially similar product (i.e. Street Fighter 4 -> Super Street Fighter 4 -> Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition -> Ultra Street Fighter 4).

Moreso, Patching for Balance requires two things: an extremely vocal and active competitive fanbase, which Pokemon most certainly has. And a dedicated group within Game Freak primarily tasked with tweaking the game constantly throughout its life. I don't think Game Freak as a company has that kind of manpower under its belt.
