I agree. After all, they're still making money off it, and they've still got avid fans, so why not milk it for all it's worth, yknow? ^-^
yes that is exactly why they will keep going the games are actually selling more each generation i can see them doing at least 3 more

This.

Pokémon is like any other company franchise; looking to make money. As long as they keep doing so, then there will always be a new generation to look forward to - each one better than the next in its own way. I think GameFreak would be smart however in that when they do see the franchise coming to an end, they'll end it on a good note, rather than sucking the life out of it completely. From here, they'll just move onto something new.

There is nothing to suggest this is the last gen. The franchise will be continued until such a time when it becomes unprofitable. Or when aliens invade and conquer us, whichever comes from.
yes exactly. now if i could only figure out how to close threads..

Someone please explain this to me. What kind of warped, backwards thought process exists that causes people to believe that there is any chance; ANY CHANCE that one of the world's most profitable and popular multimedia franchises on the face of the planet will end any time soon?

Please just think about, and use your common sense. We are talking about the multimedia franchise that has the second best selling video game series of all time (Just behind the father of gaming himself.) and one of the longest running and most popular animated productions from Japan.

Who cares if 5 is a "nice number"? The year is 2010, that's a pretty nice number too. How about we end the Mario, Zelda, and Metroid series as well?

Well, I honestly don't think they'll be stopping anytime soon with Pokemon games now, but then again nothing ever lasts. Hopefully, they won't stop but who knows?

Do you think they'll end pokemon here at a nice round number like 5? Or do you think it will keep going?
Why would Game Freak want to stop making money?

It all depends on the success of the 5th generation. If sales are good they will keep going.

Hahaha, "if". We all know they're going to sell remarkably well, even if they suck.

Everyone said this about gen 4, it depends on how sucsessfull the games will be

To tell you the truth, it was the anime that made Pokemon big, and now that the anime is getting less money every day (after watching the Hoenn and Sinnoh episodes, you can start to see why), the rest of the franchise is falling with it, so if the anime dies in 5th gen (and you know it will), this will be the last generation, this is because the company cares less about the games sales and more about the animes popularity, it only gets worse with the anime having using the same plot each episode, making it too repetitive, cause the company thinks the viewers are morons......

Well, the anime is called Best Wishes. And while it does play on the first letter of Black and White, Best Wishes is usually a closing in a letter. So, Best Wishes could be suggesting the closing of the Pokemon franchise.

Who am I kidding? Pokemon is not and probably never will end. It's like Star Wars. Even when everyone currently at Game Freak is long gone from this world, there will be someone to keep it going.

In short, no, I do not think that Gen 5 will be the last.

Milk it for what it's worth? That's so creepy...

Anyways, this very well might be the end, but there have been rumor's of Satoshi Tajiri will be ending it after the 6th Generation.

I think milking it for what it's worth is a little extreme, like Pokemon won't be making 100 generations.

Not only would that be one too many, that would be require massive memory.

So to all of you and the creepy "Milking it' dude, this may go the next generation ,but it ain't lasting forever.

Je sais qu'ils feront un autre jeu. Je n'ai pas vraiment envie. Je n'aime DPt.

I really wish that the fifth gen will be where they stop. We know it won't be, but the fourth & fifth gens just aren't/won't be as epic as the first three. I never cared for the anime & the in game plots are-ah-lacking. If there has to be another gen after five, they need to make in impressive and new.

People said this about 4 gen due to Arceus...though they still managed to make a new gen leading me to believe they won't stop until they stop making money ah money...At least we get something for their greed :)
