Will the creators of Poke'mon CONTINUE to create more? I'm not bothered by their streak of more than 300 poke'mon, I just wonder if they plan to stop.

they'll keep making more pokemon until the word 'pokemon' is officially a word in the oxford dictionary. or so i hope...

anwayz, there are ONLY 493 pokemon up-to-date. It seems logical to have more generations of pokemon that cover every dual type such as ghost/fire, grass/electric, dark/normal, etc. or until they have made more pokemon resembling animals in our world. and yea they'll stop making pokemon when they start losing money.

Why couldn't GameFreak just put in 7 more pokemon to make the total an even 500? They could've just added some more evolutions.

Or, even better, Pokemon that bring in infinite Sun or Rain that are allowed in standard gameplay. Like a toned down Groudon or Kyogre.

They wont stop until all original 151 (minus legendary) have 3-stage evolutions.

Thats a completely random prediction.

One thing that's bothered me, how can they still be "discovering" new pokemon after all this time? I mean in R/B/Y there were no starly or bidoof, they were not know to the world yet. Yet in D/P they're EVERYWHERE. They cant have appeared all of a sudden.

You mean people didnt live there? That's kinda hard to believe, since some Sinnoh cities seem very high tech... and the versions can't be that spread out over time, since Prof. Oak appears in the oldest and latest versions.

Dont question it!

I'm not bothered that they keep making more and more pokemon. I like it actually because if they didn't then the whole franchise would have gone down the toilet years ago.

It's called money.

Nintendo like it.

Pokemon makes it for Nintendo.

If my calculations are correct Pokemon=Money, which of course Nintendo likes=Pokemon stays.

pokemon is the biggest and most popular mmorpg ever........i don't see it getting unpopular anytime soon

popularity of pokemon = money for nintendo = more pokemon games = even more money for nintendo

QFT.

I see Pokemon going on for a while. As far as how long I'll be interested in it? :shrug: I dunno. I just got into competitive pokemon, so we'll see.
this just the beginning of real competitive battling with pokemon

correct me if i'm wrong.........but up until the dawn of wi-fi battling with diamond/pearl/pbr, it was almost impossible to find ppl to battle outside of your own neighborhood

now you can battle anyone, anywhere, and at anytime...........the 4th generation games are where competitive playing has taken flight

:grin:

That's a VERY good point. Competitive pokemon more or less was by word of mouth, and if you could find anyone who even remotely liked the game. But now there are tons of options available, and with each new generation, you get more and more options for you team builds. :)

WHAT?!?! 9000!?!?!
...
Nintendo=Awesome
More Pokemon=Awesome
therfore, Nintendo=More Pokemon
it's math, people
a=b and b=c, so a=c
More like this:

a=Nintendo making Pokemon games
b=Nintendo making money

a + b = a (squared)

And that just keeps repeating itself. I think...

Wii4Mii, I am just all over you lately...always up in the forums...

I don't want to pick on you after all you've done for, but...are you out of high-school? If you are, go back! If you're not, good! Enjoy it while you can...

Math = Important:laugh:

You use it to calculate damage, count your $money$, count your hoes (including Lopunny), give accurate ratings, and find the definite integrated functionality of a metaparabolic arc...

Oh...sorry...

a+b=a+a=2a (not a^2) if a=b.

Get it?:confused:
Got it!:grin:
Good...:)


Heh. I'm teaching math in a Pokemon forum...:chuckle:

Oh, you're going to HS next year? Little advice, don't stand up at the warning in lunch, everyone, including other freshman will laugh at you(I would know, I laughed at someone).

And that weakness to fire.. well, that is what keeps it from being Uber. One weakness, four immunities, and resists everything else. Can I hear, "Better than Blissey!"?

What "warning"?

Like everyone else, I expect a Ghost/Steel type to be like a floating suit of armor.

If wii're talking about Banette evolutions, let's do it at my Ideas thread.

Stamping your library books.
@ chubb-o-wubb: Dark, Ghost, Water, and Electric would still score a nuetral hit on it.

They'll stop making pokemon when the Proom is eliminated of all spam.

I think a previous post was right. They won't stop until Pokemon becomes an official word in the Oxford dictionary. (What will its definition be?)

huh boy. imagine what the next gen pokemon will look like? i hope none of them are like probopass......
I have to agree with this. That Pokemon, and it's pre-evolution are, well, words can not describe how bad it was. XD

Anyways, when Nintendo stops making money off of Pokemon they will stop making games. I find it unlikely that will be anytime soon. Diamond and Pearl sold real well, am I right?
