pokemon dying out?
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?
|
No it isn't dead it is still alive
|
Pokémon will never die - what could replace Pokémon? It will live for another 10 - 20 years, in my opinion!
|
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. |
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. |
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.
|
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.
|
it'll live, especially if Nintendo ever makes a Pokemon MMO
|
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
|
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 |
Nintendo forever! Specifically Pokémon! 9 years that I'VE lived it, and no way it's dying!
|
!!! 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:
|
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.
|
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.
|
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?

That's just how it is. |

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. |
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.
|
Pokemon will not die, never! But- They only sell games and make episodes and movies, if they don't make the games and movies better and better, the people that likes it will get lower and lower! So at the end- they die, so they have to make everything better and better!
I think they should make a Game with a 'side view' like mario or something like that. Nearly all their games has an upper view, like Pokemon ranger. |
I agree. They should make something different or have a side scrolling screen. Unless they can make a prevolution of Lapras and sneasel (and others) it will become more and more boring.

what happens when theres 10000 pokemon and noone has the willpower to "catchem all"
|
We send the robots who play video games to play it till all 10000 are caught, duh! Also like I said it cant die, it wont die, and it shall live. I see myself going to my grandchildren: I remember when charizard was the last form of charmander not charmandillionio-x or some crazy thing like that. Or going to my children showing them my ds and them telling me its old fashioned. Virtual reality is in. Or saying zelda is better with swords not guns. Anyweh like I was rambling nintendo got to uch imagination to stop its games.
|
It has bein going for ten years now and it is still a hit and they said they might be making more. i think it will last at least at least 5 years
|
My point was that the release of new pokemon would worsen the metagame. As of now, Nintendo favours sweepers. The introduction of new pokemon would only add more stuff to consider countering. There are already 47 big threats in the OU metagame, and that list would get even bigger with the introduction of new pokemon.
Just to clarify, Spiritomb doesn't really cut it with 50/108/108 defenses, it already takes a lot from neutral attacks. The lack of resistances hurt it even more. |

If Nintendo released more pokemon, it would complicate the metagame further and many teams would have weaknesses to common pokemon in the metagame. I would definitely not support the release of new pokemon, but rather the upgrading or release of pre-evolutions. It would also not be really detrimental to Nintendo if it decides to release a completely new game with a new storyline but with the same pokemon. |
What pokemon dying? I got to live to see that one. Anywhoo if it does die it would be caused by complexity. I wanna see a 5 year old remembering all 2000+ attack or pokemon or whatever the number is going to be in the future.

I think this should be corrected pokemon isn't dying out
the tv series is... I mean i totally lost interest in pokemon the show around season 5 and i missed everything else up to season 10 and i tuned in and oh look brock is still there... no misty.. ash is still main character... and guess what? their still getting chased by team rocket.... there needs to be a humongous change of pace in the pokemon show its so loosely based on the games it's not worth watching all the time. Maybe if Ash actually had a part in breaking up team rocket. what if heaven forbid team rocket gave up and disbanded and jessie and james joined ash on his journey only for them to be harrassed by team galactica? but no the series hasn't changed at all and every episode follows this formula. Ash learns something new about pokemon, brock oogles some girl, Ash gets into a fight with the female member of the team. Team rocket comes in to steal pikachu or another pokemon and fails miserably. Pikachu or another pokemon blast team rocket into the sky. cmon i wanna see something new already |
The true factor about this is that it's all such a controversial subject. My opinion is that all good things come to an end. Eventually anyway. Pokemon may have lasted for over ten years, but how many more can they stand? Just look at the Pokemon as they advance through generations, can you safely say that you like the newer Pokemon more than the older ones? The truth is, Nintendo are simply running out of ideas. Purugly is incomparable to a first generation Pokemon. Soon, every Pokemon may just turn out to look like Purugly, and let's face it. No one wants a Pokemon like Purugly. I'm afraid, that one day, as many of you may seem hopeful, Pokemon will come to to an end. Full stop.

I liked gold and silver because of the way they started the story with your rival stealing his pokemon. Pokemon has always been such an open ended game. Well on top of that we need a more linear progressive pokemon game where its less of the free roaming rpg it is now and more of an engaging story. |

Actually, a game shall never come to an end unless ALL copies are taken and annihalated, so even if no more pokemon games are made, pokemon is technically not dead, because you can still keep playing the games (and buying the used ones), making it alive. Don't forget online games, maybe crater will re-open when pokemon will stop existing.
[AGELIMIT]I'm going to hurt Crater's admin so bad for closing the site... :evil: But, then again there is achance he may return to this little world of pokemon fanatics.[/AGELIMIT] |
games such as pokemon ranger and mystery dungeon where never hits compaired to the regular gotta catch em all theme. and a side scrooling typr would in my opinion would slate the whole reputation of pokemon. all they can rely do is make more pokemon but what happens when no one can be botherd catching 10,000 pokemon?

If Pokemon has died out then why is it the highest played RPG in the world? Why is Pokecommunity not dead?
I'll answer that, it's because Pokemon is the best RPG in the world, nothing can beat it! Nothing! Pokemon is so great that Pokecommunity get a new member every 2 minutes. That's how good it is. Pokemon Rules! |
the world will see a dark day when pokemon dies out which it never will because i will always like it
|
i resign my point you are all right lol looks like i am beaten.

I counted 1056 pokemon (including all the versions, like UnownA, Gastrodon East, shiny versions of ALL of them)
|
It will last for as long as more pokemon don't keep coming.
nuff said. |
Why won't you lock the thread? We all answered "No."

Yeah, after looking over this thread, it's getting pointless and would've belonged in General anyways. Pokemon won't die out, at least not until Nintendo milks every single dollar out of it or better yet, as long as there are loyal fans. :] Also, what's there to discuss anyways? You can't predict the future. Just be happy lawlz. 0.o -CLOSED- |
