There's no doubt that last year was a big year for the Pokémon franchise, not just because of GO, but also because of the franchise's milestone 20th anniversary (of its introduction in Japan) and its associated events to celebrate the occasion. Not only was Pokémon GO a smash hit last year, but we also had the 3DS Virtual Console re-releases of the first generation main series Game Boy games (Red/Green/Blue/Yellow), digitally remastered editions of the first three movies being released to Blu-ray and DVD in the US, (marking the first time physical media of these are available in many years since Warner Bros. lost the rights to them), and finally Sun and Moon's release starting the seventh generation of the main series games.

I think the next thing to wait for is whatever happens for the franchise's quarter-century mark (25 years).
