is the pokemon series ending forever?

There is nothing to suggest that.

Nintendo is making too much money to end it, for one thing.
 
It's been around for 10 years.

How long has Mario and Zelda, the other Big 3 of Nintendo, been around?
 
the series may be making them a lot of money,but they could still cancel the series,make a better show,and make even more money,if that's possible.
 
...whut?

What do you mean "cancel the series"? You can't just erase a popular franchise instantly...its fanbase can easily live on.
 
sorry,i mean make one last pokemon season,and then stop making more episodes.you know,an ending to ash's and/or someone else's adventure.then make a new show entirely different from pokemon.is that better?
 
Oh, are you talking about the Anime?

I can see that happening. But just because the Anime ends I doubt the games will.
 
maybe,i guess,but i doubt that.almost every pokemon game made is based on the anme.
 
The anime ends when the games end, as I see it. The anime people may come up with more filler (like Orange Islands), but with nothing left to promote, it would possibly end.
 
I for one am sick and tired of all these people thinking the anime was first and the games are based on it.

Me: "Generic Pokémon comment, usually about the video games"
Idiot Guy: "Oh, I hate that show. When is it just gonna die?"

Me (while playing a game): *says nothing to bug the other people around me, and is playing as a character who in no way resembles Ash and doesn't have a Pikachu on team*
Dumbass who is near me: Are you done making love with Ash and/or Pikachu yet?

Seriously, I heard this and worse. Most of the time it's just some little kid saying "I seen it on TV, all you do is save the world from Team Rocket on each level. It's stupid." or something along those lines...

Or, "Nintendo has more sophisticated games like Mario and Animal Crossing. Stop playing anime-based games." seems to be a popular one.

Or, the end of it all, also the most common of 'em, when a kid says a cartoon character should be in Smash Bros., and I have to explian to the kid that Smash Bros. is only for video games, they'll ask me why Pokémon are in the game...

*sighs*
 
First of all, this should probably be in the Pokemon Anime forum (at least I think you're talking about the anime here...). Secondly, the show is getting very good ratings in both Japan and the US, so there's no reason for the producers to drop it (assuming they're interested in making money :p).
 
I'm convinced people want the anime to end. For their own reasons. But, I agree, it's currently getting too many ratings for that to happen.
 
I personally don't think the anime will end for quite some time. First of all, Diamond and Pearl only began about a year or so ago in Japan, and so far Ash only has two badges and Dawn only has one ribbon (correct me if I'm wrong there). So even if the anime does end (which I personally can't see happening) it won't be for several more years.
 
D/P is going to go on for either 3-4 years max, and depending if the 5th gen is ready or not, we may have a shorter 1 year saga after that.

So that already brings us up to 2010 or 2011. Now, if the 5th gen still follows Ash, then add another 3-4 years...which brings up to the year 2015.

Huzzah, it'll be the year 2015 and we'll still be watching Ash trying to become a Pokemon master. By then it'll be absolutely insane trying to rewatch this series because it'll have nearly 1000 episodes. ****ing astounding.
 
first,this tread could belong to both pokemon anime,and this,second i'm not a dude,third how was i supposed to know that the game came first i was only two when this whole pokemon game and anime thing started,and fourth there is a lot of reasons that the anime and games should be ending.
