Based on past release dates, GameFreak releases a new pokemon generation every three or four years.
1996 Gen I
1999 Gen II
2002 Gen III
2006 Gen IV
2010 Gen V
2013 Gen VI
Therefore, Gen VII will be released either 2016 or 2017, and Gen VIII will follow in 2019 at the earliest or 2021 at the latest, assuming the trend holds true. This can be expanded to predict the release dates of future generations, but the margin of error grows larger the further into the future.
The number of pokemon will probably reach 1000 with the release of Gen VIII. It is unlikely that the franchise will ever end unless it is no longer profitable, and that is unlikely to ever happen.
What themes do you think future generations will explore?
