How Many Generations of Pokemon Will We Get?

Sometimes I wonder when Pokemon will stop. I hope it doesn't until I'm dead, but that's probably not gonna happen. Some people say X and Y are the last, some say that Gen VII will be the last, and some say 10 or 12. I'd say 8 or 9. I hope there are more than that, however.

Red, Green, and Blue were developed by a small company called Game Freak, which originally was a magazine. Due to the unexpected success of these games, Yellow was made. Later, Gold, Silver and Crystal were made, and they were expected to be the last Pokemon games. But oh, no they weren't. With 23 main series titles now (I think), they definitely didn't stop there. Fans pressured them to make more. And so, Ruby and Sapphire came out, followed by Emerald, FireRed and LeafGreen.

Game Freak probably decided that Pokemon was too popular to stop, so they made generations 4-6. And now, we're on X and Y. They sold 4 million copies in the first two weeks. Wait, did I say weeks? I meant days. 4 million copies in two days. 2 million copies in one day. I don't think Game Freak is going to stop until Pokemon starts losing popularity.

But Pokemon is becoming quite different. Now, we have to worry about type chart changes, gazillions of new moves and abilities, and plenty of new locations. X and Y didn't introduce too many new Pokemon, so that's good, but I think that one of these days Game Freak should just stop making complicated Pokemon designs, maps, moves, abilities and types and just go back to the original things, like how Kanto was so simple and so were the first generations Pokemon designs, such as Electrode or Pikachu. Not complicated like Florges, Kyurem or Chesnaught.

Anyway, I can't wait to see the seventh generation and the remakes of R/S/E. Stay tuned for more Pokemon info!
