How long do you think this will continue?

They can't just keep churning out these sonsofbiches forever, there has to be a limit, it's already getting out of hand.

Will they retcon some generations? Will they reboot and start from scratch? Will the franchise simply end at some point?

It's making way too much money for them to simply stop releasing them like that. Mario is much older and still going strong. Zelda and Metroid too.

All but Kanto and maybe Johto.

They already said they have a million ideas, it's just a matter of time and resources limiting them.

Because no sane person could expect the games to just keep growing in size endlessly. Every time they make a new game they have to add the 850+ creatures, more in the future. It consumes lots of resources.

And besides, nobody can even remember all of them now. It will be even harder in the future.

Yeah except they keep getting gamefreak'd in subsequent generations. Why don't they just stick to the good ideas they had.

Digimon is still a series that has a large fanbase and way more of those than Pokemon.

Pokemon still needs ways to go.

They have the 3D Pokemon models, that'll last for quite a while. It's not like they care about "next-gen graphics." They have the database for everything (abilities, Pokemon, moves, interactions), so it's not like they have to reprogram it every gen. The most resource consuming part is new trainer models, and even that may be standardized if they choose to stick with a 3D style for more than one gameset.

>And besides, nobody can even remember all of them now. It will be even harder in the future.
It's easy if you've been with Pokemon for the 20 years. And that's why they only had 300 in SM, so kids don't get overwhelmed.

They'll have to stop at 999 since that's the highest 3-digit number the national dex can handle. They're already trying to postpone this by making gimmick form mons that don't take up extra dex slots (megas, Alolan forms, Wishiwashi, etc), so my guess is that they won't hit the cap until gen 9. And after that they'll probably just throw out the national dex entirely so they can continue making new mons without worrying about having too many mons.

They'll just change the national dex to have another 0. It's not rocket science.

Kek.

They aren't getting rid of the franchise, it's Nintendo's biggest series behind Mario.

but they can. When they break 1000 you know that's going to be the entire marketing campaign

>"POKEMON: BUMBLEFUCK! WITH OVER 1000 POKEMON TO COLLECT AND TRAIN"

Then they'll stuff the game with caterpies and spearows again.
