Pokémon Black and White versions

I believe I read an interview somewhere where they directly said that 5th gen will be the last Pokemon game of its kind. I don't see an end to the Pokemon franchise any time soon, though.

Really? I see. Yeah, I don't think it's the end for the franchise, but I expect the current anime and Pokemon whatever-versions to stop eventually after this. The anime is pretty terrible now too, it doesn't even have a plot anymore. Where as back then, Ash was supposed to become a Pokemon Master, now he just travels and he's not getting any better. So I hope they make things right with the last gen and make Ash either a Pokemon Master (lol), or just make it seemed like he got beat by one.

I think Pokemon games will still be popular even if 5th gen is the last anyways. Once a new Nintendo handheld console is released some time during the future, they might just remake all of the previous versions.
