Let's assume that the 1,000th Pokemon in the dex will be a legendary/mythical. This leaves us with 279 Pokemon left to be distributed across X number of generations.
There's a lot of ways Game Freak could split this up. But what GF could easily decide is that the 1,000th Pokemon will be in Gen 10.
4 generations left until Gen 10.
280/4 = 69.75
An average of 69 Pokemon a generation for the next decade.
How would you feel about this, /vp/?inb4 GF says "fuck it" and shoves 300 new Pokemon into S/M.

If they were all really great designs, sure that would be ok, you get a quality over quantity deal. However, there is no way this would happen, so it would be shit.
>>26866697
I think I could stomach that if we continued to get new forms and mega evolutions.
My only qualm is that Game Freak inherently hates fun. And with such being the case, I highly doubt, even with 280 more chances, that we will get all type combinations. Which is ridiculous and is 90% likely to happen in my opinion.
>>26866697
I think it's safe to say SM will have more than 100, and I imagine they would continue with a middling number of Pokémon for the next couple gens. Imagine 110 for SM, 90 for gen 8, and 100+ for gen 9, where they break into the 1000's.

Do you think they're going to stop after 1000 Pokémon? I doubt it, so we'll still have our chances. And if they make more regions like Unova, filled with weird typings and a bunch of mons, then it wouldn't take too long anyway.
>3 more Kalos
Fuck that.
I'd thank GF for finally doing something drastic enough to quit the franchise over.
>>26866697
There will be around 200-100 Pokemon left with S/M New mons
>How would you feel about this, /vp/?
Pirate every one.
If one cannot be pirated, wait 6 months and buy used.
I'm never buying another less than 100 new pokemon gen.
>>26866697
Muh patterns say we should get around 100 pokémon in SM, 70 or so in gen 8 like we did in XY, and then another batch of 100 or so in gen 9. So only three gens to go.
Gen 7: 100 Pokemon
Gen 8: 100 Pokemon
Gen 9: 78 Pokemon, series ends on #999
>>26866697
That's 990 dots lol
I don't think they would choose to make the 1000th on gen 10. they won't mind a thing like that
>>26866983
This. Theyll either go to 1001 with some new mew/mewtwo combo bullshit or stop at 999 with something equally underwhelming
>>26866983
I like 999.
>>26869753
There are hints throughout the last few games of a 1000th Pokemon. Masuda himself mentions it.
It never happens
