What do you think will be the last generation of Pokémon?

I honestly think 7th gen might be the last, and at the very most 8th gen.

And I'm not talking about all the remakes and sequels in between. But rather a new generation of Pokémon. I mean, how much longer can you go on?

I doubt we will hit bottom so fast. I mean, there are many concepts they didnt use yet, so I think it would be awesome if they just keep going without losing quality and shit.

However yearly rushed releases like ORAS can quicly kill the franchise

Actually looking back I think 7th gen will be too early to stop at. 8th-10th seems like a sweet spot

i think that sooner or later a new brand similar to pokemon (noble bright, exploration, collection, competitive) will kick in. if that brand will be balanced and shit, pokemon will be surclassed

We're not getting close to the end anytime soon

I went to a lady's house and her grandson's had ran from school just to catch the reruns of Advanced Battle; they were 7 and 5 years old. The grandma told me they haven't missed a single episode since that time slot was given to Pokemon.

I started watching Pokemon when it first came out in 99 when I was 8--I'm 23 now and still watch it and play the games

Just look at the call of duty franchise
It's pretty much the exact same as pokemon in the sense that there's a new game every year or two that's essentially the same as the one before, but they don't seem to be slowing down any time soon.
It's possible we may even reach a 10th generation, depending on if GF can recapture the audience of the younger generations like they did with RBY GSC and RSE

Hard to say. Pokemon is part of the vanguard of early portable games that brought the market to popularity. Considering that, it's as popular as ever. Gigantic international cash cow and reaches across several demographics, there isn't a lot to lose by Nintendo/Gamefreak supporting hear games...forever. I mean it's hard to say what any video game property is gonna be in 40 years but, shit man, we're still making cool James Bond movies, why can't we do the same treatment to a video game?

I mean there will be a point where innovation will need to be forcibly injected to keep things from getting stale, megas are evidence for that. And it will be a little surreal when we get the point where there are like 1200 different Pokemon and the legacy of the series gets a little unmanageable from a marketing standpoint. I see Pokemon staying around but don't expect another gen with 75+ new mons again.

You can't compare Mario to Pokemon.
They don't introduce 120 new Marios every gen, or do they?

for a franchise that started with 150 monsters...we are still very far away from "too many"

as in, we might hit 10x the original in another 20 years or so.

srsly I think its more likely for humanity to end than pokemon

This - I'm actually shocked how many fucking kids are still totally zoned into Pokemon. I was doing this community program thing for urban kids the other week for uni, and like, all of them were hella into the Pokeymanz.

It's transcended "fad" and entered the world of "constant cultural mainstay". Like Star Wars.

To be fair, I'm not judging him. At least part of his money goes to Pokemon cards

Since the franchise won't die any time soon, generations also won't stop coming. They'll be created as they see fit.
Not only the games depend on that but also the anime, the TCG, manga, etc.

>this thread again
As long as pokemon makes money itll be around
plus the franchise is already so eshtablished that even if a game flopped, they wouldnt just give up on it.
Id say at least 3 more generations.
However, if all 3 of them will be good quality wise I doubt, quality seems to be going down..
and theyre becomming less fun to play.
Something needs to change with these megas and power creep, and I wonder how theyll fix it.

I'm 27. I was lying in bed after work last night with the girlfriend next to me, dexnavving for a hyper voice Swanblu in ruby. I turned to her and was basically said, "Jesus Christ I love Polemon. By the time I'm 30 I'll be at walmart for the midnight release of gen7 or whatever the fuck. I'm going to be an old man and I'm still going to fucking love Pokemon. Shit."

I hope it never ends.

eh, the problem is that they don't give a shit about that. they don't give a shit about the 2 major problems of the franchise for people older than 15.
hacking and balance, it's pretty much everything we ask, and it's what we don't get.

how many franchise stood when hackers could use their creations on competitive tournaments?

counter strike and ESL have alot of problems with hackers but they still have or had competitive tournaments.
and I agree with youre post completely, although hackers are less of a problem the way I see it.
They should just pure more effort into the games, or make a version for older audiences.
The other day someone suggested getting rid of GF, which could alsowork, maybe a different company could do a much better job

yeah, but i think that in this kind of games hacking is a big problem.

i have a collection of pokemons, some of them are 10 years old, and they are in my current save file. i played the games for more than half of my life and i found only 6 shiny.

and there are those fuckers that can create them.

the point of the game the discovery, and the collection. and right now every mega was revealed before the release of oras. the 20th of this month we got the rom and the data miminig told us everything.
while collections are worth nothing.

i they do not take care of this problem, another game like pokemon will kick in.

I dont know man, but like many problems its a personal preference.
as long as their target audience does good.. itll work.
how large of a part are the 15+ buyers in the pokemon sales anyway?

it the picture that was around yesterday was true, half.

well, if another game like that did existed, i would paly both, so it's not such a big problem.

but the current tecnologies allow for a different market, where you can release small update to the game, such as new areas, or new pokemon, so that nobody feels that as been screwed by data mining.
and server side shit to prevent hacking.
this is the future for pokemon, and they don't get it.
this will not kill them, but will create new game (i hope)
