    It's bound to end at some point. Plus, we already have almost 500 Pokemon in a little over 10 years. Sooner or later they're going to run out of ideas, or just start dishing out horrible ones.
    When do you think Pokemon will finally end?
    I think Pokemon will end after the next 2 or 3 generations. Maybe 4. That's my prediction.

    Pokemon will end when the number of pokemon hits 1000.

    Or, if the creators stop making new pokemon, but instead, make new regions, characters, and stories, then it'll last for quite a while.

    If it lasts for another ten years, I'll be surprised.

    A lot of strong series start falling off after a while; (Spyro, Crash etc...)

    I think what Mario, Link, and to a lesser extent Samus have done is probably the exception rather than the rule, but I could always be pleasantly surprised.

    It will probably always be around.
    Like Transformers, Starwars, and GI Joes before it, Pokemon will always be a cultural icon.

    As for the games I think that ship has sailed.

    Forever.

    Why? Nintendo needs to continue milking the money from these kinds of series.

    I think people will keep playing it for a while, but Nintendo will probably stop making it around 2013-2017.

    Well, at the rate they're going now, I'd say forever. Why would they stop making Pokemon games if they made so much money off of every single game they put out?

    As for the number of Pokemon, I could see them just stopping at 1000 since 500+ is already ridiculous.

    I think 2 or 3 years from now the amount of fans will drop and the series will die...

    They will soon if they keep coming with dumb crap like "Bidoof"

    As long they have ideas they can keep going.

    Until the end of time!!

    *coughcough*

    Seriously, though, the series can last another five years or so as long as there exist fans willing to buy remakes of older games with barely updated graphics and other eye-candy thrown it (I'm looking at you FireRed/LeafGreen/Heart Gold/Soul Silver).

    They already have started dishing out horrible ideas, the first 100 Pokemon were the best.
