Wow...no Mudkips? That would suck REALLY bad. I kind of like Arceus though. So, hopefully new generations will stop after 5/6. New games don't have to stop as long as they start being more original like I don't know come up with something besides "Gotta catch 'em all and get the 8 badges and beat the Elite four and level 'em all up to 100 and get all the ribbons, etc. etc. etc."

They should look at the ROM hacking section for ideas :)

That doesn't even have anything to do with it, what am I talking about? /rant |
But I love pokemon <3
I'm glad it's still going. |
I'm so happy I brought three silvers one gold and two Crystal's thus doing more then my fair share to keep the games going =D
|
cool info, and yes 2gen was the best game maybe made with that intention
- but if we look at 5gen it sucks, its a 4th grader drawing omg... how ever great info! thx •X |
Gold/Silver has Slot Machines while Heartgold/Soulsilver has it taken out due to laws :(
|
If we did not have G/S/C, we would'nt have HG/SS, well of course, but we would never have had R/S/E/D/P/Pt as well, heck, Pokemon would be dead by now......
|
Wow. I think that stopping at Gen VI would be a good choice, but they should bring out a Remake or something once in a while(HG/SS;XD). By the time Gen IV comes out, either Pokemon will be dead, or it would flourish into ANOTHER 4 generations. Which would in turn continue the cycle... :D

Even if they stop making new Pokèmon games, you can just play your old ones. And they did try to change the story line; it's called Pokèmon Mystery Dungeon and Pokèmon Ranger. And the GameCube series. And Pokèmon Snap. And Pinball. And the Ranch for the Wii. Plus the variations for my original 'Spinoff' games. I believe I had a Pokèmon pinball game. Well that and Snap (N64 and Wii), which is by far my favorite non-main-series game, and at least one game of every generation. Oh, and Pokèmon Ranger, something about darkness, or time, or maybe something about Almia? I dunno, played it until I couldn't get past these Tyranitars. I hate that game more than I hate this one Dolphin game for the DS.
Oh. I got a bit off-topic, but my point is: I'm only fourteen and I play these games, excluding the game cube nonsense. Oh, wait that's wrong, I had some Pokèmon game where there were Pokèmon in my backyard and Pro. Oak kept giving me TV's. And Hey You Pikachu! But I didn't have a microphone. But that might not be GameCube. Oh well, ignore that middle part, so I don't think it'll die down so soon as any second. I predict a healthy ten to twenty more years until someone says the word Pokèmon and no one else knows what they're talking about. Hmm. Maybe thirty, actually. |
To have haulted the Pokemon series at the 2nd gen would have been foolish. Where's the money in that! I personally wish that they continue to produce more and more generations until the cash cow that is Pokemon is milked completely dry.

I, personally, am glad they did not stop pokemon at Gen II, because if they had I would never have known about pokemon or played the games (I joined when FR/LG were pretty old - I was a deprived child, leave me alone). I think it is good that they stop at Gen VI - stop before it completely dies (hopefully) to not look too greedy. Although, why 6? What is special about that?

When the Pokemon games first arrived, Red, Green and Blue seem to have been intended to be the only versions at the time. Of course, when comes a storm of success, linear sequels are made as the last games, then an even bigger storm of success, newer games seemed rushed out and from that point I feel they have degenerated.
It seems to me that Pokemon became so popular merely out of chance — becoming a fad at the time, as there were already a number of manga and possibly other things in existence yet those did little to propel the franchise. They have struggled in meeting at least my own expectations as time went on. |
I know we all hope that the Blue Blur's problem won't happen with Pokemon. Imagine That. Oh god, that'd be HORRIBLE. NO! The nightmares keep coming back! Run! Save yourselves!
|
Yes, it's like hopelessly digging for oil then suddenly find it and start selling it ...
If it stopped at 2 Gen then ... ... ... .. ......... I would have never played Pokemon !! I played 3 Gen further soooo ... Glad that he changed his mind !! ^^ |
Thank god they didn't stop there. :pink_disbelief:
|
Personally I think Pokemon is going to go the saaame way as Digimon. The anime died after johto, hoenn is craaap. Sinnoh is worse. I bet fifth gen land'll be horrible as well. No, it isn't nostalgia @ the show, I was watching Johto a few days ago, this morning I watched Sinnoh. Obvious difference in quality. The games; Sinnoh is boring, there's just NOTHING to do. In GSC/HG/SS you could play the *fun* slots, listen to the *good* music, and actually have fun. I think it should have stopped maaaybe Gen 3, at a stretch. :| Gen 4 was never meant to be created ;_;
|
Well that is certainly something to think about.
Was it really for the better? I admit i DO enjoy these new games, but some pokemon just don't make sense to me. like remoraid, a fish, evolving into an octillery, and octopus. :O |
honestly i wouldnt have mind if the games stopped at GSC. the stories of the other games fell a bit disjointed compared to the RBYGSC continuity, and 251 pokemon was balanced the best. although, I do like the addition of the ability system, so its not all bad.

Pokemon will never end as long as there is always a reason to by another game. This is the main reason why you can't obtain every game on a single cartridge. With each new Handheld, comes a new game, only because you can't trade back to other ones. It's getting slimmer, but the games will need new pokemon, in order for people to 'collect them all'. As long as that is there, the sells of Pokemon will only go up. It's a fact, Pokemon is one of the best selling video games in the world, passing most titles combined like Tom Clancy, Halo and Call of Duty.
With new generations of fans, there is always a new possibility for someone to take kind to the new generation of pokemon, unlike us older players who were there for the very first set and got to play it back then. It's Marketing, and being in Online Marketing, I definitely understand what they are doing and it would be foolish to stop it. The only reason one might stop a mega-series like this, would be for to put a nice end to the story which would only happen by the creator (and if they company agreed). Let's be honest, that wont happen. Nintendo <3 Money |
it just makes you realize how fragile a big industry can be. it can be there one second & gone the next...im happy they continued though, its just i hav this scary thought that soon they'll reach their peak. a very realistic, but shocking look at it...just imagine what kind of impact it'd have if coca-cola just stopped...horrible isnt it?

Well one, Just wanted to note what I've heard not validated. Didn't the original designer for Pokemon quit after the second Generation? If that's true that'd explain why so many old schoolers enjoy the two designs specifically.
I've been player since Crystal (Mid-Schooler? LOL) which to this day is my favorite, most likely that is Nostalgia. But I for one enjoy EVERY generation, EVERY Pokemon, I mean sure you can't beat the Original. It's like comparing Classic titles like Half Life to Half Life: Episode 2, They have MAJOR differences but fans embrace them equally, one as a founding block and quality gaming, the other as cool effects, AI control and plot. I don't see them stopping ANY TIME soon, In japan it's just about as popular as it was twenty years ago (It was released in 1990, right?). And even if it was, not long after another company would come along and buy the dead/abruptly stopped franchise and build it back up, maybe not to FULL fledged force, but well enough. Pokemon are like puppies, just because one is a different breed, it can't be just as cute as the first breed and litter. Bring on Generation CCCXXXVIII! |
