Considering Pokemon was meant to end with gen 2, yes

A Franchise Zombie is a franchise that's gone on beyond what the creator intended.

As far as we know, Game Freak never really had any stopping point planned for Pokemon.

This isn't true.

Ishihara thought that Gold & Silver would be the last games, but Masuda said that they had always planned to keep going and his biggest challenge when developing Ruby & Sapphire was the idea that Pokemon was just a fad and that it was over.

Then we'd need a comment from Tajiri himself to know for sure, wouldn't we?

No.
Contrary to /vp/ memes, Pokemon hasn't lost its soul yet.
It's getting dangerously close, though.

Pokemon's "soul" is the merchandise, and that's not going to stop anytime soon, so it's nowhere close to losing its soul

Not quite. It's just a bad series and a shadow of its former glory.

Tajiri just wanted to give modern children the same experience he had a child collecting insects.

I doubt he really cared either way whether Pokemon continued.

Yes, it is. It was only after it kept being huge that it was meant to be more. Masuda has talked about it being a fad and worrying about that, but that was only after it was decided to continue.

You're here. You're going to buy Sword & Shield, and I'm willing to bet the future main games they release. What are you even talking about?

Kill yourself. It's uncritical consumers like yourself that have ruined Pokemon, Nintendo and videogames in general. I'll be emulating your current gen home console within the year.

Modern Pokemon has a relatively positive reception outside of 4chan (besides LGPE, that seems to be a universal hate. Everyone's on the hype train for S/S though.)

Nigger, people are more critical of games (and media in general) now than ever before.
