4th Gen pokemon dying out?

[Dragonite92]

Any1 think pokemon has past its time and time for something new to come? pokemon has been a hit for so many years but will it last?

 

[Atomic Sharks]

No it isn't dead it is still alive

 

[Toblerone]

Pokémon will never die - what could replace Pokémon? It will live for another 10 - 20 years, in my opinion!

 

[Supreme Dirt]

Well, let's see - Pokemon has been around for over 10 years.
Add that Pokemon Diamond and Pearl are still best-selling games, nearly 2 years after their release, and you should take that back.

 

[Alakazam17]

Okay, please name a Nintendo series that has stopped being produced....

Mario? Wrong. Legend of Zelda? Heck no. StarFox? Still alive in my book.

Pokemon? Of course. It's been around for 1/2 as long as Mario, and yet it has made almost as much money. In fact, the Mario series is the only series that has made more money than Pokemon. Mario has sold 200 million copies with Pokemon selling 175(again, in half the time). 3rd place is The Sims with 80 million, XD.

So yeah, it's here to stay. Pokemaniacs rejoice! =D

Lol nice stats. Also star fox is alive. You have to play smash bros to know that. Anyway pokemon die? Damn the day it happens. We will see it happen when you have an mmo of pokemon while travelling the globe to all 20 regions. Also did everyone know nintendo is around since 1899. 109 years and still going. Nothing will die that is nintendos. We still have kirby dont we.

Lol just have to add another stat since everyone is powning this guys comment..

Nintendo itself is probably the most innovative company in the world, possibly only after Microsoft...

in 1899 it started its humble beginning as a CARD compnay, making typical games that were never huge, but they sufficed for the small bussiness. As time went on nintendo had kept up with the technological advancements... they started making video games which is still tied for being the first video game, since records arent accurate, it is around the same time as PONG which came out in 1958. it didnt become a huge succsess until Mario, which also had very humble beginnings that i shall not bring into detail.. that is when the Video game Nintendo truly started, making a franchise of itself and it has never died since.


Not exactly a statistic, more like a history lesson, but whatever.

Pokemon? Dying? Never.

 

[Silhouette]

POKEMON WILL LIVE! I'm pretty sure with all these stats, we all get the main point. Pokemon is here to stay. People won't just forget about it one day, or all there Pokemon games will be gone, or anything like that. Heck, like a lot of people here, I still play Blue/Red Version.

 

[Heart's Soul]

Unless pokemon start turning into porn, which is not preety, and I don't want to know about it, or unless it's being spammed across the globe, or Satoshi Tajiri dies (doubt that), it'll never die.

 

[pkmn_trainer_david]

it'll live, especially if Nintendo ever makes a Pokemon MMO

 

[Storm-DC]

pikachu for example became part of pop culture, pokemon will be kept alive like star wars.. because of the franchise. more than for example zelda. pokemon was the first

 

[Majay-hi]

first of all dont be dissin Zelda it rules and second of all no ovcourse Poikemon will never die
Tell me one nentendo game that has

 

[World King]

Nintendo forever! Specifically Pokémon! 9 years that I'VE lived it, and no way it's dying!

 

[Aquilae]

!!! Nintendo released the 1000th pokemon! Now the metagame is luck-centric with absolutely no way to prepare your team to counter pokemon, and now people are just spamming sweepers!

I feel that Nintendo should not make new pokemon as it would cause the destruction of the metagame. Most teams in D/P are weak to something, and it has become impossible to prepare for every threat without sacrificing offence.

If Nintendo adds more pre-evos it'll be fine.

Spoiler:

lol who am I kidding FEAR!!

 

[Eureka1]

Mario and Pokémon are Nintendo's top franchises. I doubt they'll stop making Pokémon, but hopefully they'll try harder than they did in the 4th generation.

 

[Asch_R2]

I doubt Pokemon will die any time soon, my only worry is that it will become to similar with every release like Mario and Zelda are. If Pokemon is to live for another 10 or more years then they are going to need to come up with something more innovative and different.

 

[Dragonite92]

sorry guys did not mean 2 upset you, my point is like asch_R2 says there has got to be a time when they can not think of any more pokemon and dont you guys think that it will come a bit repetitive?

It was repetitive around the time of Johto, but we still kept playing.

That's just how it is.

That's why they made Spiritomb, stupid. It has no weakness (unlike Kingdra).
Anyway, I read Asch_R2's post and think... maybe it will die... in the fifth or sixth generation. And hopefully Lapras will evolve and pokemon can be traded from the first 2 generations to the new game.

 

[Silhouette]

Even if it may, I'm pretty sure they'll come up with something like the original games. Like the New Super Mario Bros., for example. It's just the same side-scroller as Mario, just improved in many ways.
