There are rumors of some really big, earth-shattering news. My mind immediately went to "these are the going to be the last Pokemon games." But even that seems too far out. At the most I could see these being the last handheld games or the last games to introduce new Pokemon.

I'm hoping that this is the last generation where they add new Pokemon. After this, they should do 3D remakes of the past games and focus more on gameplay rather than trying to think up new Pokemon. (I mean, cotton candy and perfume? Seriously?)

Well, I really thought that 4th generation would be the end with the whole Arceus story and all... but two generations later...

Considering the cost to develop the new art style and construct the new game, we can expect Gen 6 to have at least 4-6 3DS Games. Just so GF can get as much money out of the new status quo.

After that, we might seen giant changes to the main series. Who knows?

From the business side of thing, keeping Pokemon Hand-held only serves one purpose - Console seller. Nintendo needs titles of this caliber to keep the portibles alive. Pokemon was one of the VERY FIST games designed specifically for the Gameboy platform. :15:

Alright look, first off, it is our first step into the 3D world with Pokemon, in terms of main series games. Second, the location move to France kind of makes me think that later games will have a more European setting. Or they could go back to America, they only really did do New York. Third, Pokemon makes too much money for them to give up now. I give it at least 4 more generations of new regions and Pokemon before Game Freak and Nintendo call it quits and even then, someone else could pick it up. Have you ever just searched Fakemon in deviantart? Their are literally tens of thousands. They are not out of ideas. They just aren't shoving all of the good ones into one generation at a time. They're spreading it out. That's why we get stupid **** like Vanillish and this cotton candy Pokemon. Pokemon is nowhere near done. There are so many directions they can go with it. They could continue on the path they are, slowly upgrading everything with each new generation, they could make an official MMO and it could be on the 3DS, they could make main series console games on the Wii or other systems, they could say "**** our ideas, lets go to the fans" and make a generatin based entirely off of Fakemon (very unlikely I know but I can dream). I could go on but, I won't. Main point, they are not done. Don't expect them to be for a while. And when they are, be ready because you could be the one to buy the rights to Pokemon and make it greater than it already is.

I heard due to bujet cuts it will end at 8 gernerations.
Ok...Gen 6 isn't out yet, and they don't even have a budget for Gen 7 since the current one hasn't been through market summaries yet. They won't get a budget for the next until the current generation gets at least a years worth of sales out of the way so the company can gauge what needs to be changed and what they need to focus on.

There is no way you can hear about a budget cut that doesn't exist yet due to basic marketing fundamentals.

This series is a huge moneymaker. It's not ending just like that.

I basically second what most of the others said, Pokemon is still making loads of money so it probably won't end anytime soon. In fact, Pokemon is the second-biggest selling video gaming franchise, only just behind Nintendo's own mascot, Mario.

And also like what Quincy said, keeping Pokemon on handhelds allows for more sales of the handheld itself, in this case the 3DS.

The last time I thought it was going to end was when HG and SS came out, then when I heard about Black and White I realized they weren't going to end things any time soon. This hardly seems like a last generation game, mostly because they finally switched over to 3DS so it's more like they're just getting started.
