As long as it's popular I don't see the series ending anytime soon.
I think it'll end sometime soon(within about 5 years). Making new pokemon and regions only works for so long.
I think the most likely answer is found in looking at series like Mario and Zelda. I think Pokemon will continue to make games indefinitely. They may slow down, like the Mario Bros series did, but there will always be a new game to come out eventually. It makes me wonder though when they will run out of ideas for new Pokemon.
Probably when enough of the creators grow old and die, and there aren't enough new people who want to keep making the series, I'd assume. I'd love to hope it never happens, but it probably will. Another way it might happen though is if another similar series (far better than digimon lol ) comes around and is much more popular (as if that could happen but who the heck knows). Yeah, that's what I'd say. But for now, long live ;025; (and the other 648)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It'll probably last a very long time, as it's the biggest video game franchise only behind Mario. How they handle making new Pokemon is a mystery. A big thing about the games was discovering new Pokemon, and now we are nearing 1000, its up to GF when they want to stop, maybe they will skip brand new Pokemon one generation, and then release another. Its hard to tell.
But, they can always keep the RPG's fresh and new, and there are always new spin-off's they could make. It's a huge company now, and I doubt they are going any where.
There are an infinite amount of possibilities, and plenty of graphic designers who would be willing to get a handful of cash from the selling of a popular game series.It makes me wonder though when they will run out of ideas for new Pokemon.

When pokemon was created there were not 151 pokemon made. even before pokemon Red/Blue came out there were already over 1000 pokemon created and those were put into groups(generations) thats also why some pokemon have no evolution in 1st gen games but do in 4th gen games(like magmar).
This explains also why some pokemon look alot alike(Klink and Magnemite have a lot in common)(Blitzle and Ponyta)
so they wont be running out of pokemon for at least 5-10 years
