>>11909049>a real childhood.You clearly don't understand what the term "Genwunner" means. It has nothing to do with starting with Gen 1. It has to do with that they only got interested in Pokemon because of its fad status during 98-2000. Then dropped it instantly after.
>>11912329>Sounds like you were never around before /vp/ was born. The topic of Pokemon has been around since /v/'s introduction in 04. This board went through a previous name as /tr/ as well when it was first introduced. Pokemon has always been a large topic on 4chan.
>/vp/ segregates the pokefags from the other boardsNo /v/, you are the containment, and Moot's made it very clear that /v/ is a terrible terrible board. Boards like this one, /vg/, and /vr/ were made to allow better parts of the community separate from /v/'s rotting corpse.
At least we talk about Pokemon and have various discussions. At least each thread is on topic, doesn't turn to instant garbage, and can generate decent discussion.
