Nice work by everyone involved.
How many more Pico games realistically are left?
Realistically, only a handful—right now we're probably 6 or less off from the Team Europe releases in terms of articles, so anything left in red
here (give or take a half-dozen or so) is remaining. Note that this doesn't include language variants and the like, though.
I would also like to note that ROM dumps may not necessarily mean all the data required to play these is obtained. A few of these may be lacking storyware scans or scans of the tablet surface that they were packed with. (Also, much of the fact that these are so little documented in regards to gameplay even on the respective Wiki articles is because of crappy emulation leading things to be more difficult to do than intended, or not working.)

I don't know if Team Europe has tracked down all of the South Korean exclusives... although in fairness they might struggle to do that on account that nobody knows how many South Korean exclusives are out there.
There's also the rather ambiguous other "Asia" region Pico game that was discussed earlier. And while maybe getting all that would account for the original Pico hardware, there's ALSO the spinoff stuff (PasoPico, I think especially, should be better documented. We only have a demo of one game? Yeah.. and these are PC releases, too, so anyone could probably do this if willing to take the effort), and Samsung's Thinko and the Beena, which aren't even touched yet.
And who knows? We may find more unreleased game prototypes. I take it there wouldn't be the same kind of clamour for "Sonic Jr." as there is for a... more Xtreme game, but it'd be interesting to see what surfaces.
