So when GameFreak hits 1000 pokemon is the franchise finally going to start to collapse under its own weight?

For real the logistics of importing or "catching 'em all" starts to get a little unbearable about then right?

Would it makes sense for GameFreak to then officially retire some pokemon? Functionally make them extinct?

They got rid of "catch 'em all" a long while ago.
Also that sounds retarded. If they retired some they wouldn't have 1000 anymore.

Hopefully Gamefreak will decide to retcon most starter lines out of the franchise, keeping the popular ones. Here's what we would keep if that happened.

>Charizard
>Feraligatr
>Blaziken
>Infernape
>Serperior
>Greninja
>Decidueye
>whatever next gen's (and gen 9's?) popular starter is

Not a bad deal at all.

I don't understand the whole 1000 milestone. Why does it matter? There are more than 1000 different animals in the world. You don't have to catch every pokemon either. More pokemon = more diversity and more lore.

The series already is extremely oversaturated with too many Pokemon, which is why GF is adding 70~80 new mon each new gen instead of 100~150. I think Gen 8 will introduce even less new mon, hopefully.

Retiring Pokemon is a stupid idea, btw.

I think they will probably go full lazy and don't let you transfer pokemon from previous games anymore. That would make the amount of pokemon in the game the same as in the regional dex.

"Catching them all" is simple if you catch the whole region dex rather than the national dex. That's what they're doing in sun/moon - the regional dex awards the shiny charm now,

is Sawsbuck pure Normal type with reference to a specific deer that is prominent in Japan?

They are already thinking about this, and >>29943996 removing the national dex was their first step to manage the problem.

"Catch 'em all" is the catchphrase of the franchise, and while that sounded doable when we had 150-350 Pokemon, it's now a ridiculous proposition, so they are making sure that the regional dex is the absolute focus of the games and that the national dex is more of a account-wide goal for every single game, not just the one you are currently playing.

>first time player picks up new Pokemon game
>finishes the game while battling every trainer and catching everything he sees because he bought the monster collecting game to collect monsters
>ends the game with 105/300 caught
>congratulations on becoming a champion, here's a national dex!
>105/930 caught

GF doesn't want that to happen, they want to keep it reasonable like it always was before gen 4.

I really do think GF deserve more credit for making almost every previous Pokemon available in each new game, in some way or another.
I can't think of any franchise that have over 800 returning characters. I don't blame them for slowing down with new designs, unlike any other game/anime/comic/tv/move franchise they can't just retcon the disliked ones out of the next instalment.

I think this is why they had Sycamore downplaying Dex completion in XY compared to how the Professors in all the previous regions acted.

The National Dex is gone (outside of Bank), so there's no stress on new players. What would be the point of removing Pokémon?

He flat out admitted that Stantler is kinda lame after seeing other Pokemon besides it.

Also, fml, but I can't enjoy Game Grumps anymore, or maybe they're bored too.

Remove one useless fish for every new generation.

Generation 8 - Remove Qwilfish
Generation 9 - Remove Lumineon
Generation 10 - Remove Basculin

Make it a tradition to see if you notice which one's gone.

Just release all the older games on the virtual console with access to Pokebank, bingo bongo problem of catching them all is solved.
We'd have easy access to every single Pokemon, aside from mythics.

302. 18 Alolan forms and 16 Megas get dex info too. Yu can also look look at gender or shinny differences.

I guess they want players not to havebto catch the entire list if they don't want too.

Plus new directors mostly mean a new era.

They should allow dex syncronization to make it easier. Allow players to sync any game dex to whats in their bank and allow players to complete their dex's locally.
