>>28549356
I'd imagine it would be a video game.

>>28549356
VR Pokémon.
Japan down to a slither of population since everyone is busy fugging their Gardevoirs.

>government rating organizations similar to ESRB and the MPAA now control the availability of certain part of the web by age group, occupation, or in some cases political allocation
>Drivers licenses are done away with (self driving cars) and instead your social media accounts are all tied directly into a universal ID card/number that serves as your passport
>"Citizen Card"

>no one really sees this as controlling because everyone loves posting selfies anyway and who wants to drive a car, my grandad did that shit. It's a useless artisan skill
>Nintendo NX6 Hand-held is marketing new Pokemon games, their WiFi connectivity is linked to your web-access boundaries based on your citizen card
>is super cool because you can now trade and battle and interact with people through your Facebook; or link screenshots straight to Twitter
>Livestreaming plugins from Nintendo for Twitch
>/vp/ was wiped out a long time ago when the web was regulated, so there are child-friendly forums for Pokemon that are all cancerous and filled with literally pokemon's target audience
>running seven future-proxies, Anons have re-built 4chan from referencing web archives and dumped the government crawlers into thinking it's an elementary school class's online forum tool.

>50 years?
I highly doubt this series will continue on for 50 more years. As much as I hate to say it Pokemon cannot go on forever, it has to end at some point.

there are so many pokemon that you can pick any real-world animal and type combination and there's a pokemon out there that matches it

people still flip out when Ash loses his 30th region championship and his most recent pokegirl disappears at the end of the season despite hints at shipping in the show

>>28550165

something like this too, although admittedly the pokemon company seems to have really tried to make game mechanics which get people to go make friends and walk around in the real world

>kernel
?

>>28549356
Dead like the rest of us when the ice caps melt

You are now noticing the typo

>>28550757
Augmented reality implant.

Normal people can choose to get one, or can get an impermanent system like contacts, but in order to get on a government stipend (like for autismbucks) you'd have to get the permanent kernel so the government could generate ad-revenue from your daily habits/browsing activity. And also monitor your "improvement."

So for example every time you neglect to interact with your social media accounts as would be required by the neetbux program (which is how meta data is made to generate profit), you have to sit through advertisements or are engaged by some other inescapable content. Incentivizing the whole system.

>>28549356
It won't be. They're already scrambling to try and appeal to the kids again. Probably not much longer till there's a new successful Yokai Watch that manages to usurp it.

Ooo gotcha, I was reaching for a word that sounded like slang for a tiny implant that could go in somewhere like behind the ear or similar. sorry to be confusing, typed it fast!
