The president of Nintendo Co. Ltd, Satoru Iwata, has come out again to say that the direction of the company is not to join the other console manufacturers in making gamers pay extra for online games. Then he also went on to say that Nintendo is investing some of their $6 billion dollars on the successors to the next GameCube and Game Boy. Unfortunately he doesnt say how much, we only know that its "some." Iwata made a bold statement that Nintendos developers are hard at work on the next-generation stars to replace Mario and Pokmon.

Now Mario too...

No I don't think it will happen and don't beleive everything you read on the internet unless it is actually on an Official Nintendo site and I don't think they will get rid of Mario cus look it is probably the most popular Nintendo character and that is why they sell thier consoles. Plus the DS is coming out in November in America and I dought they will stop makeing Pokemon games cus Emerald isn't out till next year.

Oh yeah please don't doulble post just use the edit button.

Okay, I have soem thigns to say of this.

First of all, Mario will never disappear. Mario is Nintendo's first and most important Trademark. Nintendo has no image without Mario. so the chances of them getting rid of him is zero. Second, Pokemon continues to make them thousands of dollars world wide and always holds a top ten position around the top for several months before sliding down the charts. Ruby Sapphire even held teh charts fora full year before finally losing it's position. Plus they have just rescently started remerchandising their pokemon toys, games, electronic devices, and other mediums. Pokemon has had a steady increase in popularity in teh last year, epecially in teh games. Plus the card game has gotten back on it's feet, and has redeveloped to the point where they are now holding yearly competitions for world champ, as well as prerelease events, sanctioned tourneys, and they even brought back the Pokemon League with the badges and everything. Then there is of course the Pokemon center that makes plenty of money in New York city, and then there are four more in Japan. Plus, there is the plans for the Pokemon Emerald next year, and Japan is planning on building themselves their very own Pokemon Themed Them Park.

So frankly, to sum it all up, to rebuild Pokemon up so well and then to just drop it is not only a really bad business move, it's down right stupid. And since Nintendo is the oldest and most experienced of the gaming platforms currently in existence, I doubt they would make such a foolish mistake. It osunds more to me like wherever you got your info was jsut people creating false rumors in order to rile up the pokemon gamers and make us upset. Haters are like that. :\

I will resume this to 4 words: Double Posting and Liying.
Its not the end of Pkmn, and it will never be. I bet Game Freak has lots of plans to DS and to the succesor of Cube. Theyre making Remakes, but with new lands, new attacks, new graphics and etc...
And like Pogiforce said, Mario wont too... For almost the same reasons...

Nintendo dropping Pokemon and Mario? Nah, that's a joke. Pokemon and Mario games brings in lots and lots of money for Nintendo (if you ask me I would say Pokemon and Mario brings in the most money from all the other games that is just for Nintendo). So they would not do something stupid like drop Pokemon.
And how come there is a 4th gen of Pokemon going to come up if they are going to stop making Pokemon games? So you can be sure there is no remake there.

I agree, Pokemon was what made the original Game Boy a hit and its one of the biggest trademarks of Nintendo games (like Mario and Zelda) no way will they ever stop making Pokemon.

If you want us to believe what you have said, please provide the link to the article. That way, we can see for ourselves if what you have said is true. For me, I doubt Pokemania will ever end, and there's no reason why developments in Pokemon games should be stalled. Maybe there are just too many Pokemon, but the storylines can always be changed.

DS would be used for a 3D Roleplaying game like Pokemon Colosseum.... and since it has a intergrated wireless, it doesn't require a wireless adapter anymore. ^_^

okay who and WHY gave me a bad reputation point in this thread? I dont see anything wrong with my post O_o.
Backstabbers again...-_-;;
I don't have a bad rep from my post here.
And I checked the Nintendo official website, none of the recent articles said that Pokemon is going to end. (Haven't checked Mario though =P)
I found out where you probably got that information from, forums perharps?

Link to search page Purin got on Yahoo
Website source is from: http://www.n-philes.com/

I must note that the article is old, dating back to last year, and because of layout changes it does not exist now. Nintendo probably has to change for the better to cater to new markets, but I don't think Pokemon will vanish. Take a look now 1 year later. It still exists, and the Emerald game's strong sales are proof of it. I will also need to mention that this website is not in favour of Pokemon, as proof I have the link to an article with me:
http://www.n-philes.com/index.php?Id=278
I am really disturbed.

How does this game manage to sell so many copies? It is just completely confusing and utterly stunning. September 16th saw the first day's release of Pokmon Emerald in Japan, and sales numbers have come in at a shocking 372,000 copies being sold on the first day. Of course, this isn't so shocking when you tally up the track record of Pokmon, but you can't help but expect slow down for a franchise that has been churning out for almost eight years in Japan.

It's so good, it's disgusting.
We can't just look at one side of the story.

Okay whoever gave me a good rep, thanks. (my account doesent tell me who did but somebody gave me a very nice comment and a rep point ^_^ so thanks)

And Pokemon is timeless. Look at the boxes for the games, nintendo has themselves as the 'Pokemon Company' on them; Pokemon is one of Nintendo's greatest children, it'll never go.

The problem is, the thing has got boring after the death of Gold and Silver. I know the GBA games rule for some people, but they're just not the same. Catching 151 monsters was fun, catching 251 was kind of hard but fun too(I cought them all), but catching 386 or something is just lame. Yeah, what will the next versions have? 500 monsters to catch or something? We all have to face it, the next version will indeed be lame if we have more Pokemon to catch(Unless you're some loser who doesn't go to school and have no job, and no friends, and have got enough money to buy both versions, and have got nothing better to do, then maybe you will enjoy it). The Pokemon Colloseum story mode is not cool, neither Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire. I personally didn't like them as much as the old games. Why? Because pretty much no one here cares for Pokemon as much as before. At the old times, I just put the GBC and my rare Pokemon cards in my pocket and go wherever there are a lot of fans battling and trading Pokemon or cards. Those were the good days. I made a lot of friends out of Pokemon. But now, just look at it. It's just awful when compared to how it was in the past, so that's why if Pokemon died before it gets even lamer, good.

I agree that the Pokemon Colosseum story mode was more painful than watching old Powerpuff Girls episodes, but the series has yet to tap into the true potential of Pokemon... If my sources are right, and they have been thus far, we're in for some major changes in the Pokemon world... Just wait until the true enemy shows up...

I'm going to have to thoroughly disagree with you. More pokemon doesn't make it lame. That is frankly the worst logic I've seen. More Pokemon means more opportunities and battle situations that will prove to be different than all these other battles from the past. And Colloseum was possibly the best thing Pokemon ever did. IT appealed to a more mature crowd through the fact the hero steals, drives a motorcycle, lives in a barren wasteland and used to be a bad guy totally appeals to a more adult crowd. Plus, Ruby and Sapphire has been good for teh series too. In my opinion, Gold and Silver and the Johto saga were nearly the death of pokemon, not the other way around. People ahd grown tired of it, and it had been some time before a new game. Please notice, almost consectuviely with the release of Ruby/Sapphire, Pokemon restarts marketing, the show kicks back up, sails sky rocket, and increased Promotional events worldwide, I'd say you are greatly illinformed as to the issues presented. POkemon is coming back strong, thanks to the new games. IN my school, jsut last year, people would rather kill themselves than admit to liking pokemon. Now, three weeks into the new school year, Iv'e met a handful of people already who are a great deal into the games and TV show, and those that still don't like Pokemon are accepting of others views, unlike last year where they'd sooner stab you with a knife than look at ya. Pokemon has had an increase in popularity ever since Ruby Sapphire had been made. It won't make it back upt to teh fad status from before that you're wishing for, but no fad ever does, and to keep hoping for it is jsut wishful thinking.

And what's with saying you'd sooner see it dead than get lamer? :\ Are you willling to give up on it that quickly? Ar you lobbying for the end of Pokemon as we know it? Because that is the sense I'm getting from your comments quoted above. People here know how I am about nay say, and that has naysay written all over it.

Okay whoever gave me a good rep, thanks. (my account doesent tell me who did but somebody gave me a very nice comment and a rep point ^_^ so thanks)

And Pokemon is timeless. Look at the boxes for the games, nintendo has themselves as the 'Pokemon Company' on them; Pokemon is one of Nintendo's greatest children, it'll never go.
And I was teh one who had given you the good rep. :D I said you were a good debater, and I felt sorry for you that some disgruntled person gave you a bad rep basically jsut because. :\ And Pokemon Company isn't jsut a name Nintendo gave themselves, they are now a true, full fledged company working under Nintendo.
