Well, the wonderful game series known as Pokemon is now in its fourth generation of games. The franchise has come a long way, spawning a massive trading card game, a successful anime, and several spin-off games. It's brought enjoyment to children (and yes, even adults) worldwide.
Everyone here probably knows all of this already, or is starting to discover it.
Pokemon is truly a great game.
However:
With the recent release of Platinum, and the news regarding the next animated movie (news concerning the so-called "god" Pokemon, Arceus), and the large number of legendary Pokemon, with some being referred to in-game as deities, fans are concerned; controversy has arisen. Is the Pokemon series drawing to a close? If not, how can any legendary Pokemon to come match the high standard that has seemingly been set? In other words, how will GameFreak top a god?
The rival in the latest installment in the main series memorably said that there's no end to Pokemon. But is it true?
Discuss.
