Pokemon numbers for a New National Dex

[Rakki-neko]

I know this is Kind of random but I was wondering if you are making like 150 more new pokemon, where do you place them number wise in the National dex. Would you just add them on right after 493 or, incase nintendo decides you release and new 5th gen of Pokemon, would you put it at say 651 or so and give alittle leeway for Nintendo which can be added in later?

Further questions that have something to do with Pokemon Essentials should be posted here and not created as a new thread.

NO this is not for me asking how to do it, I know how to do it, I read, I'm just saying in general; should you start where nintendo left off or should you give them some leeway.

Please read the whole post before posting please.

 

[Tsukiyo]

I would say start where they left off. In the same way that Nintendo does not add slots in case of future Pokemon, neither should you. After all, would you really even want to go back and add them all in once the game was completed?

 

[Rakki-neko]

Well adding the pokemon would make the game feel more complete I guess. So I guess if they (they being nintendo) release a new game before I am finished, then I guess that I would add them in. But thanks for your help guys.
