With the recent gen 5 additions we're up to a total of 500 Pokemon. When we first started we thought 151 was freaking incredible, and im pretty sure that most of us thought that'd probably be it. But to think we now have 500, and will probably passs the 600 mark, is just mind boggling.

So, how far do you thnik they'll go?
Msg me if you want to challenge or trade im a pretty good battler.

I can imagine over 1,000 Pokemon. Well, I can't imagine 1,000 different designs for each Pokemon specifically, but I can imagine the number being at or over 1,000. XD And, when you think about it, that's not so bad. It's a WORLD of Pokemon, so there's probably going to be tons of different species. I don't mind this at all; the more the merrier, unless the new Pokemon are poorly designed and not given enough love.

There won't be more than 665 pokémon, I think 650 will be a good number, and this new generation will be the last one. A pokémon with the number 666 would be too controversial.
That's about as controversial as Pokémon 69.

Especially less so as it's going to be a basic rodent or bird, if there are around 650 in this gen.
Everything ends,
and that's always sad.
But everything begins again, too,
and that's always happy.

They'd stop the second most popular video game franchise while still insanely popular, just because a number might be controversial? They'd skip that number or just strip the numbering scheme before they did that.

Suposing that number wasn't as controversial as I think it would be, then I guess there will be over 1000 pokémons. There will be at least more and more pokémon coming for the next 10 years, which will lead into more four or five generations. Since they introduce always more that 100 pokémons each generation, it's just make the counts.

Saying Pokémon #666 will create controversy is like saying Bellsprout created controversy. I don't see it happening except for the few immature people who'll go around saying "LOL GENERIC BIRD POKEMON IS EVILLLL!" It'll get old fast.

I personally think 500 Pokémon is way too many but we've officially past that mark so I'm gonna say anything after 600 is absolutely ridiculous. I'll be disappointed when we pass that.

The myth goes that Tajiri and Sugimori sat down and designed 1000 pokemon before Red/Green were even released. If that's true, the series won't dry up until after we pass that mark. :P

I don't see much controversy occurring once we hit pokemon number 666. If anything, the poor thing will become a 4chan meme, especially if it ends up being a fairly mundane and harmless pokemon. XD

There was nothing. Followed by everything. Swirling, burning specks of creation that circled life-giving suns. And then we reached to the light.

Prepare to be disappointed more :D. I see us having a few more gens, possibly up to 10 before things start slowing down. Though they could always change the way they make new gens. Say just make the story lines better, add in a few new perks, and make a few new pokemon but with most just coming from other regions. I would be sad to see pokemon stop soon, but 1,000 pokemon is a lot and if we stop there then I'll be happy since there will be soo many to choose from.

They've kept Mario and Zelda going all these years, so I assume they could do the same with pokemon. Maybe they'll run out of ideas sooner or later though, but that doesn't mean the series has to stop.
