>>18733599A concern that I saw someone else have in another thread. By the time they reach 1000, you'll have Pokemon like Bulbasaur who would then technically be #0001, Mewtwo being #0150, so yes, they would all get a 0 before them.
So I honestly do wonder about the future of Pokemon. I heard someone else say that they could continue the Gen VI route and just introduce 70 or so Pokemon per new generation and then just focus solely on the core gameplay mechanics. Like, while we did not really receive too much new Pokemon, we sort of got the Megas to make up for that, as well as the introduction of the Fairy type, a new potential battle type (Inverse Battles) and tweaks and changes to many moves and abilities.
