Pokémon Black and White versions

Pokemon Diamond and Jade were bootlegged Pokemon games in America. Lo and behold, Diamond is actually used. Too bad Pearl was used instead of Jade.

As for the last part of your post, I doubt they'll end Pokemon. It's too much of a cash cow for them to cut off. They may end new generations, but I can see more games to come.

You skipped my 2nd post, I think..

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.
