release Pokemon Silver/Gold, which is the sequel to the original

G/S has been out in japanese for a few weeks, and has been widely
played by all sorts of pokemon geeks who don't know a word of
japanese..

Red/Blue versions.  Silver/Gold also has even MORE Pokemon for kids to
drool over.  I think it'll be around with us for a long time, in fact,
Pikachu seems to be replacing Mario as Nintendos mascot and given the
life of Mario, that means we could be seeing Pikachu well into the
2010's.

In the Japanese, there's red and green which came out first and were
released in English as red and blue (for some reason). Then there was
a japanese blue version which was never translated, then there's the
yellow version which is essentially the same as the old ones except
you always start with Pikachu instead of Charmander or Squirtle or
Bulbasaur. Then came the Gold and Silver games which have ~270 or so
different pokemon vs 150 in the original games.
There's also for the gameboy a pokemon pinball game, and IIRC one
other.

There's N64 Pokemon Stadium 1 & 2 (2 being the english number 1), the
japanese 3 is well under way, and there's Pokemon Arena for the N64
IIRC.

And I agree with you that it could be a long while before pokemon
really dies. Seen "Super Smash Bros"? Donkey Kong, Mario, Pikachu, and
<whatever> for, essentially, Platform Deathmatch.
