So let's take a moment to humor the idea of a Pokémon reboot.

>>29359387
Masuda just said they would do no reboot

>>29359387
I wouldn't mind if they reimagined some older mons that have become really irrelevant these days.
What are the odds of that happening? Close to zero, I'd say.

>>29359434
Well, Masuda also said pokemon games would always have Gyms, so...

>>29359387
I think if Pokémon had a fourth reboot we'll barely notice, like the other three times.

"Let's take a moment to humor the idea...."

I've made a thread like this one before. A possible scenario might include a massive restructuring of the whole franchise. Majority of pokemon are gone, but about 150 or so popular ones remain(your pikachus, your lucarios). New monsters are released. Game style changes. Very unlikely to happen.

My real concern has always been the ever growing number of Pokemon. 1000+ unique creatures is a lot to collect.

On the other hand, it is kind of nice that GameFreak hasn't erased a Pokemon species from a sequel.

But this is a new thing he said a weekish ago

Let's not because it's not happening.

>There is no reboot.

It's gonna happen sooner or later, there's no question about it.

A popular idea is that they'll reboot it into an MMORPG and make each generation an expansion to gradually redo the entire roster, and in doing so rebalance and redesign a lot of Pokemon.
But I don't see that happening with Game Freak still on the picture, they cannot handle something like that, as much as the entire internet wants a Pokemon MMORPG.

I think this the article. Thankfully, we won't have a reboot.removing Pokémon would be the worst thing possible. http://new.time.com/4536438/pokemon-sun-moon-interview/

It's not gonna happen. Gamefreak isn't removing pokemon. Gamefreak knows every pokemon is someone's favorite.

>>29359387
>So what are the odds
Slim to none.
Actually never mind
None at all

It's either a reboot or they stop adding new Pokemon to the games.

A 1000+ Pokedex will get ridiculous, not to mention the absurd amount of feature creep already happening: alternate formes, regional forms, different kinds of evos, mega evolutions (which were already dumped as a concept), z-moves... what's next, Pokemon fusions?

>pokemon fusions

That meme generator website predicted this years ago. A true prophecy.

>>29360102
They will just keep adding less new Pokémon every new gen like how gen 7 only had 81 new Pokémon.abye in the far future the only new Pokémon will be the starters and legendary mascots. That's a way smarter move than removing Pokémon. Removing Pokémon is basically suicide. Every pokemon is someone's favorite

They should stop releasing Pokemon for one Generation and restructure the Pokedex then perfecting old mechanics such as location-/gender-/stone-based evolution, friendship and taking care of your pokemon, battle facilities etc.
You know, make it a little more polished.
