There is a first trailer of the first movie in which Pikachu ends up with Misty after all and there is no clue about Ash. That was released on the theaters but then it was all removed. That is a big clue that after the first movie, Pokémon was not meant to keep going. Besides that, in the early series, Ash collects badges real fast and the anime was not even settled.
Nonetheless in the first games, the region name "Kanto" was mentioned only once which gets me thinking the staff did not want to make it too obvious, but just gave a clue that there would be another generation(s). I know that the second Generation was already being planned (and there are some speculations that the Orange League was set to buy some time), but the question is that,
