I surely don't and here's why:
Ugly pokémon that they can't possibly make look worse
I just think that they've officially run out of ideas and need to come to a stopping point for this generation. Everything must come to an end, right?

I really don't think that's a legitamate reason on why there shouldn't be a sixth generation, but I'll go with it.

But still, Nintendo/Game Freak is not going to end Pokemon. It is a best selling franchise, earning them millions of dollars, ESPECIALLY when a new generation of games come out.

And there has to be SOMETHING else you don't like about Gen. 5. A few Pokemon that aren't the prettiest will keep you from buying the next games?

People are gonna stop buying the games if they just keep making the same old game with different characters, so their best bet is to use a new formula for the next gen if they bother to make one Also, they're economy is worse now due to the quake.

There are those among us who would be perfectly contempt to play with the same Pokémon, the same moves, the same items. There are those among us who just want to expand the core mechanics of the game like the Pokémon, moves, and items have been expanded (that is, since day one it was 6 Pokémon, 4 moves, and 8 badges -- we want this to change).

They aren't out of ideas -- they're just trying too hard (I think they really want to start fresh, and this shows). The 5th generation really expanded the formula yet people somehow never really recognize this (it was identical between the 3rd and 4th). Now, TMs were forever. The experience engine was rewritten. Fuller 3D was used (it only ever existed in HGSS, really -- though, from what I've heard, Platinum was rewritten to match parts of HGSS's graphic engine). Seasons, easily one of my most beloved concepts in the game, appear (this is really only paralleled by Day&Night, a feature of GSC). Triple battles expand one of the big innovations of the 3rd generation. The list goes on.

Platinum is my favourite game in the entire series; I loved its storyline, its graphics, and the fact that it /was/ Pokémon. BW really disappointed me in terms of the storyline, but I think that will change. So, yes, I /really/ want a new game.

I don't see this thread ending well.

PlusleplusMinun if you like pokemon so much then stop complaining.

It is crazy to stop the release of Pokémon games, because simply, they are highly successful and a good way to earn millions of profits. But if I look at my situation here, I don't think I will be interested in any new game anymore. B/W was a great game in terms of all the new mechanics, but I soon lost interest in it. Therefore, if is about me, I don't need and I no longer care about a new generation, but if you look at those who are still young and new to Pokémon (who didn't play the older generations like us, but started in Gen IV), they would still want to see more.

You sound just like my friend, so I'll just say to you what I said to him.

You can whine and moan and complain about the new games all you want, that's fine, I'll just sit back here and enjoy them. And be happy.

Well I guess if they don't make anymore new pokémon people are gonna complain and want more new ones.

Yeah. Pokemon is quite popular. I really don't care about the 6th generation because the 5th's only begun.

Personally, I like them coming out with new generations. It is exciting playing the games and figure out the new pokemon. When ever there is a generation there ALWAYS one that looks well... bad, but that doesn't mean they are "running out of ideas" it means You don't like there new ideas. True, food-based pokemon is a little dumb, but they make up for it with awesome ones that (almost) everyone loves (Mew2, Lucario, and Zoroark). So yea, i do want to see another generation.

If the topic of discussion is ugly and uncreative Pokemon, then I think we should go back to Gen. 1 .

A seal named Seel.
A pile of sludge that evolves into bigger sludge.
Purple rat.
Pokeball that flips over and gets angrier when it evolves.

Most people remember the first 151 with great fondness solely due to nostalgia value. I love the first generation Pokemon as much as the next guy, but I can still see that some of them certainly were not the most original. Conversely, I see the ones that really stand out, much like I do with the Pokemon of all generations.

Sure, there will always be Pokemon that I don't much care for, but every generation has successfully been able to add Pokemon that are on my list of favorites! I await the 6th generation's Pokemon with bated breath, but since Gen. 5 just came out I am willing to wait.

I wouldn't mind a 6th Generation, it's fun seeing what they come up with. Personally, though, I love Gens 1 and 3 the most. I'm hoping for an updated version of Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, as long as they don't mess it up, sometime in the future. It's seems unlikely, since they seem to be moving forward quickly, but HG and SS renewed my hopes.

I want more games for the sole fact it's fun to be new trainer and meet new pokemon with a whole new cast. If you just replayed the first 5 gen again and again, it'd get boring fast. And I think 5 was a HUGE step up from 4, so hopefully it will only get better.

It does not matter how many "ugly Pokemon" each new generation has, every generation has good looking Pokemon and bad looking ones, just as long as people buy the games, it's fine.

It would also be nice if they did something different than the usuall "get 8 Badges, stop Team *insert something here*, defeat Elite Four, become champion, repeat in the next region" formula that has been used for the past 15 years, and when it comes to evil teams, they should at least try something different for the naming other than "Team *insert something here*", Black and White was very close to breaking the formula, but it still had the Gym Leaders and Elite Four, they should try something like Pokemon Special does, and have an overarching storyline that has much variety, rather than just recycling the same plotlines again and again.

On another subject, they should try and do something to appeal to the older fans of the franchise, rather than aiming every single game towards the same target audience every time. Yes, I know Pokemon is a kids game, but it would be something very unique to the franchise, having a game aimed towards an older audience than the usuall one...

I'm not complaining at all, I love the games the way they are, but it would be nice if they added a little more "variety" to the story rather than having the same recycled plot every single time.

I would certainly like a Gen 6, but like what Masterge77 said, I think they should change something to make it better and more original. I also like the idea of having two rivals (Gen 3/4 (?)/5).

Just like what many other people said, there are good designs and bad designs. That's like saying every region/generation has their own ups and downs. You shouldn't just stop because of the downs, because you should look at the bright side. That's also how life is.

I think, there would be a 6th generation, but I personally won't like it.
Since the 5th generation, Gamefreak doesn't create beautyful Pokémon any longer.
They aren't just not beautyful, they are worse! (my opinion)

Honestly, Generation V was one of my favorite Generations that I will always remember.
The Pokemon were what made it great. I hear people all the time complaining about them, but ya got to appreciate them. As a matter of fact, I thought that this Gen's Pokemon had the best design out of every Gen. I really wouldn't have imagined a Chandelier Pokemon like Chandelure.

Hopefully a possible Generation VI will surpass the greatness of BW and make the series even better.

I just noticed something: The more ugly the pokémon look the more they look like monsters! Isn't that what they're supposed to be? So I now think they're going in the right direcction with uglier, more monster-like deigns.

First off, this whole "Ohhhh, all the new Pokemon are stupid and unoriginal, *inserts more whining here*", they're Pokemon, and to me, every generation, they're all original, and I don't care that some of them are ugly, because they're Pokemon. I'm not gonna stop playing the games becasue there's two Pokemon I don't like {I generally like most of the Pokemon that are released generation after generation}. So stop it, it's dumb :I

I didn't make it, but THIS. :U

Well, this is arguable. Many people look at Chandelure as an interesting and creative Pokémon, with I being one of them. Some Pokémon aren't appealing, but this has happened in every generation. People just want to rant, whether their ranting is reasonable or not...

While that's true, what she's arguing is that the newer ones are more creative than the older ones, which I agree with.

I don't care if a few pokemon are ugly. Personally 5th Gen is my favourite yet because we have Zoroark, and many others I like. I think if they wanted to make new pokemon, they should go back and make some more animal-like pokemon, like back in Gen I and II.

Also, not only is there the main games, but spin-off games, like Pokemon Ranger, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon and now, we're gonna get Nabunaga's Ambition + Pokemon. The plots don't get lame, they just think up new ideas for a new/old series! With all the pokemon related stuffs out there, pokemon is still going pretty strong. I don't think it'll be dying out / ending any time soon.

I still only memorize 493 so far. 5th gen for me was enough. 6th gen is just too much. Besides I'm sure they're running out of ideas.

As long as Gamefreak/Nintendo are making money from Pokemon products, they will continue to make new generations.

Personally, I don't care if they do or don't add another generation.
