    Does anyone know or have an idea on how many pokemon there are nationally now? (By 'nationally' I mean how many were created starting from Red/Blue version on up to Pearl/Diamond)

    Will there be a way to catch all the pokemon ever made? Like the nationaldex you could get in R/S/E?
     
    YES! finally someone wants to talk about this!

    well i remember the episode of pokemon where professor oak (or was it some other professor?) is showing ash a little clip about pokemon in his lab on that big screen and as he was doing this, he started talking about the wonder of pokemon and how there are over 500 kinds of pokemon.

    now, if you think about it, every generation so far has had between 120-150 pokemon, and the amount we know so far is 386. if the Pokemon company is going by their word from that episode after, it must mean Diamond/Pearl may be the last generation of pokemon!! i know some of you may think that just because he said over 500, it doesn't mean that it'll stop there, but if that were the case, then why would they discretely choose the number 500 for that boundary? they could've said "Hundreds and Hundreds", but instead, they choose to tell us 500.

    also, it would probably make sense if you considered the color/element factor of all the generation of pokemon games. it went from simple colors-- Red/Blue, to colors of stones (or just rocks for that matter) -- Ruby/Sapphire. but now, Pokemon is going to the most exuberant rocks of them all >>> Diamonds and Pearls. what could they possibly say for the next generation of pokemon? Pokemon Meteorites Geminid/Leonid? that COULD work for the absolutely final generation of pokemon so that it would refer to the "pokemon are from outer space" theme, but so could Diamond/Pearl.

    is this the end of Pokemon? *dun dun dun*
     
    I think more pokemon would be cool but they need more imagination, some of these new pokemon are stupid looking... anyone agree?

    I think I know the episode...where Ash caught Krabby? Yeah, that was Bill, and he said 150, not 500, and that was in reference to the original RBY pokedex.

    ...Pokemon Graphite, Jasmine, Marble, Kryptonite...there are a lot of possibilities...or they could drop the material thing altogether and go for something else...
     
    Pokémon Kryptonite? XD

    That will be laughable. Whatever happens I hope they never stop coming up with new pokemon. It's one of my favourite games. <3

    Well apparently Kryptonite is a real element o.0...there are many possibilities.

    Youve got a Point but I doubt it will be the end, I suppose it May be the end of New pokemon but I'm quite sure the game will continue through atleast one more generation

    Actually, you're thinking of Krypton. Not Kryptonite.

    ...And a copy of it would be Kryptonite. There ya go.

    And I want to snip this rumor now: Samson is WRONG. End of story.

    (and I was so certain...I remembered seeing Kryptonite...)
     
    Right now there are exactly 406 pokemon announced. Just thought you wanted to know.

    I agree that Samson is wrong. I actually have that episode recorded.
