Well, the way I see it is that people will always want to see new Pokemon in the games. That's the lifeblood of the series. I think we're at the point where creating these games will become more sustainable as Gamefreak begins the process of translating all of the previous Pokemon to a format that's future proof in terms of 3D Models and Animations. Pokemon is a modular series in terms of how the games are coded. I would imagine, a lot of code is shared and just altered per Pokemon. So, including the Pokemon in future games isn't really an issue.

I get what you're saying about getting lost with all the Pokemon but I don't think Pokemon is a series where you have to remember all of the Pokemon. Just remember the ones you like. I know most of Gen 1-3 Pokemon by heart but starting with Gen 4 I only know a select few. But the ones that I keep in mind may not be the same ones that others do, and that's what makes Pokemon special I guess. The series is going through some growing pains right now but it'll eventually get things right...I hope.

Fixed.  You can't say "the best" and not include Mew, cause without it there wouldn't be Mewtwo >_>

It's like with Yugioh. Everything after the first gen is trash and forgotten quickly.

Would be hard for them to keep making creative Pokemon like icecreampie, chandeliery,shoethingy and rock.

Improving interactions and animations on a "small" amount of pokes would be the better focus imo.

Whoa, buddy. Your response was a bit over an overkill with the vulgarities.

My main drive for getting new Pokemon games is the fact that I'll get to see new creatures, that was the most exciting thing about Black/White for me, where they made it so you could only catch new ones during the main game.

If they stopped making new Pokemon I would be really disappointed, there are always cool new designs and type match ups to explore, even fix older designs with regional variations.

And of course there will be hit or misses, even the nostalgia fest that is Gen 1 has shit and forgettable designs, getting new favorites, new Pokemon you won't like, that is part of the core of the series for me.

there really ought to be a culling. too many pokemon most of them total dog shit.

I just really remember the first 151 and them maybe another 100 total.
