Yeah I think Pokemon will stay around for a while because it kept going when yugioh was popular and pretty much outlasted it. I would say 20-30 years too.
I think one day it will die out because of these reasons. For a game to keep going, they repeatedly need new players correct? Pokemon may get some new players but it's get less and less new players. I'm 13 myself and I've played pokemon since 5 but sadly I've seen many people just grow out of it. With players growing out of it for their own reason some aspects may die out slowly.
Also, many games die out after the storyline ends. Should the day come that Ash has finally grown up and become a pokemon master (which I highly doubt considering he insist on using new pokemon every region which is a bit silly) we will all know that the end of pokemon in emanate.
But I really hope it won't die out so soon (or hopefully at all)

I agree, I'm 12 and I've played pokemon since 7, but when I first played pokemon, literally everyone in my school had cards. Now there seems to be nobody.

Every generation of kids generates the same amount of profits for Pokemon, and as long as 1 out of every 10 kids remains in Pokemon then the overall population will continue to increase.
As long as the powers that be at Nintendo can keep the franchise fresh, I expect Pokemon to endure for a very long time. Mario, Link, and Kirby have been around for a long time, and I expect Pikachu to hang around for a pretty long time too. Nintendo's got a pretty good track record with its mascots.

As long as pokemon doesn't get more juvinille, I think Its safe for a while.

But 67% of sales are to non-competitive sales who won't go on the internet for pokemon.
As long as there are ideas for Pokemon, there might be no end to Pokemon...
If Nintendo gets money there's little point in stopping it. It will simply end when it's not popular...
Which'll be a while.

I doubt that all of Pokemon hinges on some character that nobody cares about. I would still play Pokemon, even if Ash gets hit by a car in the anime and is in a non-responsive coma.
Yeh but in an interview WPM did with some guy at nintendo he said if ash became pokemon champion the franchise would end
Veritas: Yes, but I doubt that will happen anytime soon. He beat some of the Frontier Brains in one shot, but he struggled against the first Gym Leader in Sinnoh? I think that's pretty solid evidence.
Anyway, as long as Nintendo can keep making good money off of Pokemon, I don't really see why they would stop. Unless Satoshi decides to call it quits, the only reason Pokemon will die is if there are many fans leaving the series, yet few are coming into it.
I give it at least another ten years. More likely longer.

That's impossible. Eventually, the world will be destroyed. Optimism...not exactly.Taylor45 said:

There can never be an end, for there will always be.
I hope Pokemon ;ives on because I LOVE the characters. I like the Dragon Pokemon. Anyway Pokemon is 2nd only to Mario. Yes my friends Pokemon will be around for a very long time. That is were Nintendo gets most of their money. I can see it lasting at least another 10-15 years.
