But we'll not be getting a perfect 10% number in Gen VI either; we've never had that number anyway, why would we now? I could see them decreasing it to 13% at best, which would give us a net gain of ~15 evolutons. Much more believable, in my opinion.
What's most likely, however (besides Rowan being WRONG...) is that they'll follow the rough 9% count we have without legendaries; if they want to keep that number, then... we'd need a net gain of ~10 new evos. I don't *like* that number because this is an even Generation and we know they love to evolve old pokémon in those, so I'd bet on the ~15 evos calcs... but I'd be fine with only 10. As long as they evolve the right pokémon (BANETTE) and such.

I don't think 2 generations is enough of a pattern to go off of. It might just be a coincidence or wishful thinking that Gen2 and Gen4 added Evos/Prevos. Gen3 added 2 Prevos, keep in mind.
I'm not saying you're wrong (in fact, I'd like for you to be right), but I think that there's not enough evidence to make a claim such as "every even generation will add new evolutions". But that's just my opinion, so take that as you will.
