How would you describe YOUR experiences with /vp/ ever since you started frequenting?
It can be with a picture, words or a wall of text. Anything really.

A hopeless descent into degeneracy
started frequenting about January, but all I can remember is the owlposting
Regular since summer 2010
>Be here before gen 5 had fucking sillouettes
>ADORE poke-love threads (Tangela threads, pachirisu threads, bulbausaur threads, etc.), seems like they used to bet a lot of them and people just seemed to have more fanart saved.
>Stick around quite a while, lived through the gary vs furries wars, I even got to like furry, but that doesnt last after you get a taste of IRL sex.
>3ds gets fucked up since 2014
>stop frequenting this board, and pokemon all together, since ORAS hyped me, but on release everyone was kind of meh, so, didnt even bother.
>Recently play Black 2 on DSi
>I fucking love pokemon.jpg
>Get 3ds repaired
>start collecting my SUM2014 Pokeball Vivillon and now going for shiny gengar (I dont want shit stats on event pokemons)
>Meanwhile, on the board seems like I arrived before the dissapointment of the century
>Wow, its fucking nothing
>owl.exe
>art threads become as rare to find as zygarde
>this board is a meme now
Still, this is very much my home and hope to have good times after we get more info or releases for the next gen.
Im samefagging and no one can stop me!!

is that chris chan?
>>26152846
Blame fucking shitposters. When someone makes a thread about a specific pokémon, they spam it with unrelated pokémon or porn.
>>26152863
Man Chris's house used to look so normal, what the heck happened?
Started browsing in Febuary 2013
Went on a Poke-hiatus around mid 2014 because better things were happening
Came back here January this year
>>26152718
It like we're a bunch of clowns and everyone is invited.
>>26152718
Horrible, I hate it and I hate most of the people here.
>>26153065
Do you hate me anon
>>26152757
You got into traps?
>>26152952
Hello, I am shitposter. Hi. Tbh, I can't even begin to understand the shitpost that is "[specific pokemon] art thread"
>>26152718
Almost everyday I come here, I'm trying to slap sense into some retard.
>>26152718
I actually never came on here except for one time during the time X and Y were being leaked because some stores broke the street date and I stayed for a bit in that thread to check out what other Pokemon were in the games. I left when the thread got overly spoilery though but I actually started coming here around the announcement of Sun and Moon, mostly out of curiosity. I knew that 4chan didn't have much of a good reputation on the internet but I said fuck it, it surely can't be that bad. Low and behold I'm browsing for about 5 minutes and see a ton of people using derogatory and racial slurs in every other comment, falsely using the term autism and autistic, and generally just being unpleasant. I did stay though because sometimes there was actual discussion about the franchise, until of course the owl shit started and it just became hell to browse on here without seeing pointless arguments every other thread. I'm just hoping that the starters don't turn out to be those just so those arguments can fucking end and this place could go back to being semi-unpleasant.
>>26153086
I REALLY REALLY LIKE THIS PICTURE.May I save it?
I feel like a fucking God OP. Ever since i started coming to VP i noticed how reatded everybody is and how normal I am. Feels good senpai.
>>26153070
Probably.
ive been on 4chan for almost a decade, not that im necessarily proud of that, and I used to dabble on /b/ when I started like most of us, these days I usually troll /adv/ or go on /pol/, maybe /co/, and sometimes if I want a real tasty laugh /mu/ or trash.
i found out 4chan has a pokemon board wayyy too late for someone who uses this site as much as I did, and I started lurking hard during the pre XY season, now it's just the same shit every day, but damned if I dont love it. great way to take a break from the chaos and responsibility of life with a bunch of retards all centered around my favorite franchise from childhood - I usually make reaction images like pic related and try to engage in the least stupid discussions possible on herePS all the gens are great, in fact, gen VI was one of my favorite games in a long time, pokemon or otherwise, really breathed new love for this longtime series into me
>>26153139
Damn.
>>26153110
>meanwhile posts a tumblr pic
you cant make this shit up
I've been here since day one.
/vp/ was always kinda shitty, but it's definitely gone downhill over the years. And no, higher traffic during leak season doesn't mean higher quality.
>>26153166
>undertale
This is bait.
>>26153110
These set of images single handedly made me hate Machamp.
>>26153162
you know anon, if you remember a reaction image you saw once but didnt save, and google search it, odds are you'll get linked to tumblr
>>26152718
all these autists owlfags mewtist footfags and that guy that wanted ashe topless pictures
this board is straight shitbut its pokemon so i stay
>new game season
Fun, actual stuff to do, new oc.
>down years
Stale, boring porn board that is mostly frequented by autist.
>>26153207
Are these genders or something what are you doing
I've been here only a few couple times but i have traded with some other back in the days of pokemon black/white
>>26153201
fair enough but you know were you'll be using it, why would you not rename it at least
>>26153227
live fotage from your moms basement
I view /vp/ as the aborted baby of /v/ that was raised by /a/. With an appropriate amount of Tumblrinas and underaged to be found of course.
>>26153166
the excitement of new boards always makes them better at first
only boards that are relatively slow, like /3/ and /gd/ remain alright
>>26153178
What is this, a joke?
every time I come here thinking, 'well maybe today /vp/ won't be so bad' and I don't know why.
>>26152771
this
/vp/ is only enjoyable when we have new shit to hype up, and the few months after said new game comes out, but especially the former. Hype season is a wild ride full of fun shitposting and hype leak threads, and of course the fake leak threads. But this time around so far is the worst hype season yet, and it's solely due to owlfags. Trolling or not, it's fucking obnoxious and I can't wait for them to get btfo.
>>26152846
You're part of the cancer.
>>26152718
eh
>mfw Mewtist
>mfw Owlfags
>mfw Groudon
>mfw "leaks"
>>26152718
Annoyed and pissed off constantly. People arguing about opinions as though they're fact.
The only redeeming factor about this board is the occasional fun thread, and leak season of course. But obviously that's not going well so far. Hopefully this month's CoroCoro makes things better.
>>26152718
Mainly stick to the anime thread, there's one too many autists who spam in it 24/7 though. Still, haven't anyplace better so I've stuck it out since we can occasionally get a discussion going.
>2010
cool
>2011-2012, between BW and BW2
n-o-p-e
>2013
cool
>2014-now
nope
You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.
This board isn't so bad. I've been here since like 2013-2014. At least here the shittiness is contained in specific threads, and we're on topic most of the time. It's rarely owl or fug level amazing, but I just come here to relax with you guys.
Suicide.
>>26152718
This place is pretty much garbage, but somehow still better than Reddit, Serebii forums, Smogon forums or Youtube for Pokémon stuff.
>>26161261
And GameFAQs.
Well /vp/ made me a furfag and generally started me down the road of degeneracy not long after I started going to it back when it first opened up in 2010. That's the most of note thing.
Any vestige of quality or even decent entertainment on this board was lost sometime not long after the XY reveal, so I only still go here out of sheer boredom and need for mindless stimulation. Or to dump retarded theories. Yes, I realize I'm not helping the problem of the board being shit.
>>26161261
This, sadly.
>>26152718
Also one of the first images I saved from here
>What the fuck no one can be this weird
>>26153178
That's just a skeleton anon
