With us currently being at 807 Pokémon (with #807 being the currently-unrevealed Zeraora), it's only a matter of time before we cross the 1,000 Pokémon barrier. When do you guys think we'll hit 1,000 Pokémon?

When do you think the National Pokédex will get to 1,000 Pokémon?

I'm thinking Gen 10 we will finally cross the 1000 pokemon threshold. Based upon how large Gen 6 and Gen 7 were. Although if Gen 8 and 9 are more normal sized generations then we could cross that barrier sooner.
All I know is the moment they do is the moment I have my midlife crisis. Regardless of how old I actually am at that time.
Ouch :p
It's Stakataka, one of the new Ultra Beasts
Each brick is its own entity and moves on its own
Three to four generations from now. Seems like the transition to 3D has Game Freak introducing less Pokemon, and I can imagine that now that they got to make games for the Switch, the number is going to get even lower. I know Generations 6 and 7 got 70-80 Pokemon each, but I wouldn't be surprised if that number dropped to 40-50 starting this new generation.

I haven't played Pokemon forever, I'm just here for the most ridiculous designs. And that one definitely qualifies.
Getting irritated? ;)
Understandable.
But yeah, around 2028 actually seems reasonable.
20 Years with about 800 Mons -> thoretically in 5 years.
Since it slowed down (Gen 6 and 7) 10 years is more likely.
I am still predicting that Game Freak wants to save that 1000 numbering for one special Pokémon or for a soft reboot ala Black and White, so it depends on how many Pokémon they introduce in gen 8.
They spent 22 years carefully building up a continuity, they aren't going to throw that away and reboot the series.
Mega and regional forms don't count as new Pokémon, it's just a cop out method that Game Freak uses without increasing the Pokédex numbering and the game reflect that by putting both Mega and regional form in the appearance section in the Pokédex.

Look up some ultrabeasts. I think they tried to make them make more outlandish (since they are not normal pokemon)

Am I not allowed to enjoy surreal Pokemon designs without having to play Pokemon?
Yeah, I checked them out while reading up more on Stakataka. They are insane. I love it.
Why is that silly? It's just a number. Gen 10 makes the most sense.
They count at the level of new Pokémon in the sense that you can use them as a novelty for marketing and merchandising at the same level as if they were new.

I actually really like that there's so many fucking Pokemon now that I can't keep track of them, so I actually get wowed when I see things such as this.
It's gonna be so cool that there'll be new Pokemon all through our lives, and how kids — tens of generations from now — will be looking at the original 151 like they're the beginning of some kind of ancestral dynasty.
Lol. That disclaimer though.
I think 2 generations from now we'll reach that number. But to be fair I think that region forms should be counted as individual pokemon but that's just me.
but cause ledian it's already the strongest pkmn ever.
gen 10 imo.
Yeah, some evos are less different from the previos evolution than megas and regional variants are design wise.
But i also see what they are trying. Getting new exiting forms, usable for marketing, great for hyping up the games,
but still easier to create than new pokemon.
So they can't count them as normal mons,
since it would muddy the water with theyr core product (new mons)
By the way: we had this since forever. It startet with shinies, and than with different Forms since Gen 3.
Call me old or weird, but I kind of don't really like the concept of Pokemon added in the 3rd version/Sequel. If the blocks, the clown, the poison imp and the electric imp were in the code of S/M and just waiting to be released (ie Marshadow) i'd be more accepting of them.
Anyone else?
Anyone else?
Hopefully never. There's too many as it is :( I'd rather they be creative with what they have or add less. The amount they've added with how little they've improved the core experience has really killed any excitement the franchise used to offer me
Sorry.
Was my favorite game for a long stretch of time too

But it's not like the people who design the Pokémon are the ones who make the game itself.
