When I was younger, I liked to overtrain my Pokémon until they stopped listening to my every command. You could do this in older games and risk the consequences.
No you can't. Only traded Pokemon disobey, anything you caught will always obey regardless of level or badges.
Every game they've announced is a B-list budget title, spinoff, or remake/port. They're not killing the 3DS overnight, but they're not putting any real resources behind AAA development either.
This is the exact same way they slowly faded the GBA out after the DS.

I had a phone interview a little while ago that I thought went well. They said they'd email me more details, I never heard anything at all.
