((Quick Note: This discussion does not include games like Pokemon Mystery Dungeon or Pokemon Ranger. This will be mainly focusing on the main games such as Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, HG/SS, etc...))

Well, HG/SS is going to be coming to us soon. It's exciting for us Pokemon fans, but I can't help but notice how the older versions of Pokemon are merely being remade with (obviously) better features than before. I've also noticed how the amount of Pokemon seem to just be growing out of control at this point. With the way things are going, it would seem pretty hard to keep coming up with good version names and good legendary Pokemon. So then, let's cut to the chase: Do you think that Pokemon will be able to keep pumping out good games? Or will Pokemon finally come to an end?

I personally think that Pokemon will soon be hanging by a thread, as sad as that is to say. We already have so many Pokemon, it's impossible to easily "catch 'em all" without having things get complicated. Legendary Pokemon will be even harder to come up with since the creators went too far up the chain (when you hit "God," it's hard to think of something else). As for the remakes, even though this is a good thing, I feel like they are having to stall the inevitable by going back and remaking the older versions.

I love Pokemon, so I hope it doesn't die! Hopefully the other, non-main Pokemon titles can help keep the series afloat!

Okay, you've gotta admit it. Pokemon's on thin ice, and it's constantly getting thinner. Each year, less and less kids are becoming fans, leaving only the older fans to keep it running, and the company's getting desperate. They're doing everything from sticker packs to allowing people to sign up for the to making the tv show's characters look flat out ridiculus.

There could Be a way for pokemon to save itself without completely remaking the game. If the company were to figure out what the fans liked/disliked, they could make their new ones off of that information, and make less pokemon.

To sum it up, yes pokemon is dying, the condition getting worse every year. But they can find a way to fix it, probably, and as long as there are pokemon fans, pokemon will remain alive, however few.

...When HASN'T Ash looked rediculous? And he crossdressed in the first season too. :|

Stupid promotions are part of any franchise; the fact that that is happening to Pokemon is hardly an indicator of how things are going.
