How many "Pokemon" should I have in my first game of the series?

I’m working on a pokemon-like series of games, and I’m trying to figure out how many I should be using for my first “Generation.”

I’ve already got 75, including:

  • A villain mascot
  • “Starters”
  • Final Boss Monster

Should I keep going until i have ~ 150, or is 75 good enough?

75 is more than enough for an initial release, and it is a good idea to release more “Pokemon” as part of an update so players keep coming back for more.

I’m talking about in total for the full game, keeping in mind this is only the first game, so I might need a lot.

I would go for whatever you think is enough. You should at least go for 100 but if you think you need more, then make more.
