>>25212293really? I thought it's moving rather damn slow.
I mean, we are 20 years into the franchise (that's excluding the handful years of developing and designing gen I), and we are slightly above 700.
That's 35 Pokemon per year.
Meaning we would have more right now if they would have released just 3 Pokémon designs per month since the beginning.
With the graph extrapolated, it's going to take about a good 5 years until we reach 1000.
And that's just 2/3rds to the tenfold amount of the initial 150 (1500 is somewhere around 2036, the average genwunner will be nearing 50 at that point)
Just to make it clear: Not saying the pace isn't alright, just genuinely surprised whenever people say that there is either too many already (while simultaneously considering a whooping 150 off the bat to not be too many) or that they're releasing new ones too fast.
