I heard recently that the Lead guy to Game Freak & Pokemon said that this new pokemon Let's Go stuff will be the last he ever does...
And the Pokemon Theorists keep talking about how things are shaping up to end...
I don't want Pokemon to end! It can't!
I've formed my life around the Pokemon Franchise!
Gah! First MLP ending, & now Pokemon! Why does everything I touch end?!!?
Wheeeeh... /Cringe

Well, the main guy that founded Game Freak, the company that actually does all the making of Pokemon, has been there from the start. They started out scrabbling something fierce to put together a game back in the mid nineties and its been going strong for over two decades... which is longer than most careers. Especially in the video game industry. Doesn't really mean Pokemon has to end... but it does mean new management, new heads trying to figure out how to market, create so on... so it certainly won't be the same.
Where were we last? Let's Go? Pokemon Go mobile? Nintendo Switch? It hasn't been looking very good... very pandering to the newest fad in consoles.
It's all the theories that get me. The alignment of all the symbology in the legendary mascots for each generation that sign an end of an era before everything gets transmuted for a new generation of a buying audience...
After all, how much use can we get out of the strategy of yet another 100-200 new & unique monster designs?
