>tfw lived long enough to see Joe backpedal
>>26288084
How the fuck is that a backpedal?
Joe was saying all last month that they way CoroCoro worded it made it seem like the information was to come from somewhere else which isn't the magazine.
Stop trying to trash the man.
What's with the hateboner for Serebii recently? During gen VI hype season it wasn't like this
>>26288132
We got reminded he lied about using an emulator for Black and White and posted fake XY leaks on the site.
>>26288084
>we get new info in may
>joe informs misinformed tweeter that we got new info may

There's a few people who want to bring him down. most of the people here don't mind him, but the few just continually try to shitpost and trash him.

Which is funny, since they think they hold some kind of power to bring it down. With shitposting.
Well, to be expected of autists.

how the fuck is this back pedaling?

Why are people so dumb ? Seriously, it's now well known that everything in Cocoloco is to be understand in the litteral meaning.
>>26289236
wanna yiff?
Oh, this is as good a place as any to ask, when did /vp/ become the Serebii defense force? Back before Gen V they called him out for shit like his awful attitude, his previous record of misinformation that he tries to sweep under the rug, and even some stuff he never actually did. Now it's Serebii dicksuck central. When did the change occur?
>>26288162
OP doesn't get a (you) you fucking retard
>>26289361
Hi Pomf
>>26289360
Not with you. That's gay.
>>26289321
The pokemon fanbase doesn't seem to enjoy reading or doesn't understand context
>>26289403

>>26289436
Sorry, but I'm not.
>>26289479
stop lying on the Internet
>>26289488
Why would I lie?
In either a resume or self-written bio about Pomf, doesn't he mention something about /vp/ calling him something? It was positive. Not sure what to search to find it though.
>>26289511
maybe because you don't want people to know you're gay
>>26289516
>>26289519
No one even knows who I am. There would be no reason to lie about something like that. You're going to have to find someone else to yiff with, anon. Hope we can still be friends though.
>>26289568
we can't be friends if I don't know who you are anon
>>26289565
What a lying sack of shit.
>>26289565
Thank you

this is some /v/ level bait, time to eat it
>>26289584
We can be anonymous friends. How am I supposed to tell you who I am anyways?
>>26289675
you could, I dunno,post skype
>call out Serebii on anything
>the gays and hugbox posters show up to form a defense force even if Serebii ends up being wrong about anything
Remember when Serebii said the first battle in BW was no experience because it was a tutorial?
How do you defend that?
>>26289682
I don't really use Skype anymore. If you have a Discord or Steam then you can post that and I'll think about adding you.
>>26289713
yeah I use the discord memeBui#3468
>>26288132
He called both the 6.5ers and owlfags retards, which they are. Now they're eternally butthurt at him.
>>26289725
Bui pls go.
>>26288132
There isn't a 3-way webmaster war like gen 5, and Pomf is too busy collecting ad revenue to be an autistic twat like last gen so this is the only way /vp/ can get their webmaster drama by focusing on the only relevant one.
>>26289725
REEEEEEEE
BACK TO SCOTLAND FURFAGGOT
Anyone have the screencap of Serebii posting fake Calem?
>>26289725
You serious? I'm pretty sure I already have you on Skype and Steam. I'm gonna friend you again though just to be friends. No yiffing.
>>26289361
>his previous record of misinformation that he tries to sweep under the rug
Because that never happened.
We mocked him in Gen V because he was going around confirming obvious fakes. Then, those fakes turned out to be real
>>26289565
>>26289616
to be fair he probably means the board he did a q&a on back in the day, either /v/ or /b/. /vp/ is nothing but autistic underaged boys so why would he care about what anyone here thinks.
>>26289771
WPM pls go
>>26289771
>tfw the only drama WPM causes anymore is shitting on the pokemon movies for their cinematic feel because he's a ~film major~ and knows better and wants them to hire him
More explosions from his petty jealousy would be great.
>>26289711
>Remember the two times he fucked up ?
That's all you have ?
>>26289361
Underage are always sucking the cocks of people older than them.
>>26289800
Does he seriously think some faggot from America that runs a website that's been in trouble with TPCi several times and who has a history of shitting on the Pokemon movies is going to have a chance to ever work on them? Kid doesn't even know any nip.
Why are you all acting like Joe works for Nintendo or something?
He literally has no more information than we do, He just comments on how there might be some information if previous announcements are anything to go by.
Then when it turns out it's not a playable demo where the female trainer sucks your dick while you play the game with every little detail revealed at the exact time right down the the second everyone shits on him.
I've never spoken to him personally just see a few of his posts on Serebii and N-Europe but he seems like a nice enough guy, Very proud of his site but not such a bad person that we need a database of every fuck up he's ever made.
>>26289361
Wottergate made people realize that the guy actually knows what the fuck he's talking about.
>>26289771
Well let's be honest. Is he fucking wrong?
/vp/ userbase always has a lot more of autism but autistic people don't magically grow out of the ground like mushrooms so it can only be a higher influx of stupid kids.
>>26290024
Disregarding the fact that Google Analytics is bullshit anyway, that only accounts for the people dumb enough to click on his shill links in the first place.
So yes, he's wrong.
>>26289361
pomf pls
>>26289432
No, it's the opposite. In context, in a magazine, saying "new info next month" heavily implies that info will be IN THE MAGAZINE.
I'm not expecting anything that wasn't in the trailer already. But it's still misleading to say what they did then have nothing.
Only thing that is certain is that CoroCoro has been way shittier this time around than during any of the previous pre-release periods I have followed; BW, BW2, XY and ORAS.
It says something when people are trying to defend CoroCoro by their exact wording, like we usually only do for the TV shows which never show shit.
>>26289771
>>26290024
It's no coincidence that /vp/'s posting quality fucking plummeted during Gen 6.
>>26290383
Corocoro is rapidly becoming worthless now that TPC releases info internationally. Everybody gets their news through the internet nowadays so print is becoming irrelevant. Everyone was expecting this month to at least feature trainer art, but they couldn't even manage that so that should tell you what things will be like down the road.
>>26288132
I personally don't like how he's been acting like "the ultimate pokémon authority" recently, but then I look at how fucking autistic those people who bother him on twitter are, as well as those cancerous youtubers who purposefully mislead people about leaks to get more clicks, and his attitude seems understandable.
>>26290203
>In context, in a magazine, saying "new info next month" heavily implies that info will be IN THE MAGAZINE.
What you're missing is the context. Corocoro always uses "next issue" instead of "next month" - this heavily implies the info wouldn't be in the magazine.
>get two full videos with direct feed gameplay and info on Starters and Legendaries two days ago
>get mad that some shitty cellphone pics of a magazine didn't show anything
You guys are weird.

>>26289361
Serebii was right about Wottergate and anyone talking shit about him afterwards would be made fun of.
Nothing big has really happened that would change the general opinion afterwards, although he still has a gigantic ego and is as much of an apologist as ever.
>>26290845
That tweet doesn'tchange anything. He still hyped up CoroCoro and said "when CoroCoro promises a scoop they always deliver". And there is no way "they" refer to anything but CoroCoro in that sentence.
And no he is complaining about people hyping CoroCoro.
>>26290897
He specifically didn't hype this CoroCoro. Did you actually read the tweets?
Dumbass.
And he is right. CoroCoro promised that the news the world is waiting for would be revealed in May (specifically said May, not in the June issue of CoroCoro), and oh look, it fucking was.
>>26289771
It's not just /vp/, it's all of 4chan that has a lot of underage users. Kids see greentexts posted on reddit (and when I was younger Funny Junk and probably 9fag) and come here thinking it's le meme city.
>>26288084
At least the interviews haven't been habitually lying lately.
Like how right before X/Y was released, they were saying Pokemon would always be using the sprites.
>>26289711
Easy. He wasn't aware there was a no exp anti piracy measure in the ROM.
>le serebii's a hypocrite replies incoming
>>26290918
Then who are "they"?
Even then, the tweet alone hypes CoroCoro and him posting your tweet the day after is backpedaling.
>>26290958
How is that supposed to be a defence at all? Its a big fuck up.
>>26290983
Yes he fucked up, but somebody else using the ROM might have come to the same conclusion.
>>26290983
Also keep in mind that a lot of the hate for Serebii comes from the fact that he used a ROM while saying he was against them, and not the actual mistake.
>>26290943
They still lie, we just haven't gotten any interviews about 7 yet
>>26289361
A lot of people that post here now came from Serebii forums.
It's disgusting, but what can you do?
A pokemon board on 4chan was meant to fail.
>>26291060
It's not just the Pokémon.
>>26290966
He posted the tweet I linked to in April...
>>26291231
Did you even read my fucking post?
I said he posted my tweet the day before yours. Look at the dates, that is backpedaling.
>>26290958
>le serebii's a hypocrite replies incoming
Saying "incoming" doesn't make it untrue. He was hypocritical about this.
Whatever, we got some good entertainment out of the whole cease-and-desist letter affair.
>>26291374
It's not backpedaling still
>>26291468
Day 1
>when corocoro promises they ALWAYS deliver
Day 2
>guys there might not be news in corocoro
That is clear backpedaling
>>26291506
No.
CoroCoro promised news in May. They were correct. They never said it'd be in the magazine.
Serebii's statement stands and he didn't backpedal. Learn what backpedaling is
>>26291670
I ask you again, who do "they" refer to in his tweet if not CoroCoro?
>>26292029
Who said it wasn't CoroCoro? That is not backpedalling.
Backpedalling would be him saying CoroCoro always delivers on his promises, and then him saying that they don't and that he didn't say that. That's backpedalling.
Him saying CoroCoro always delivers on their promises, and then noting that it's unusual how with this one they specified the month and not the next issue is not backpedalling.
>>26292052
It very much is.
He first stated that CoroCoro always delivers when they say there will be news next month.
Then he goes on to say that they might not deliver due to some vague wording.
>>26292146
He didn't say that they might not deliver. You're inferring that from nowhere.
>>26292181
He says "take from that what you will". How you can think that means anything other than "Corocoro might not deliver news" I don't understand at all.
>>26288322
How do you measure a year?
>>26292342
>>26292352
And your point is? Yes hecan be wrong but here he isn't and there isn't any reason to shit on him except if you are a retard who expected thing that he never said we would get.
>>26292146
You know that "deliver" in this context does not mean that there will be some news IN CoroCoro? It just means that what they say/promise is true. There were some big news even if it was not in CoroCoro.
>>26289880
I think this guy nailed it.
>>26292415
Nobody uses "deliver" if said party isn't involved in the process at all. If somebody promises news and then "delivers" they either bring the news themselves or have helped somebody else do it. CoroCoro had no part in the delivering here.
It's an awful misguiding way to write an sentence. It's the kind of tricks used in cheap marketing, but shouldn't be used by somebody that claims to be "one of the fans".
And it's not like he couldn't have used a better wording, like "CoroCoro always keeps their promise" or "CoroCoro never lies".

You sure you don't mean the BW ones that gave birth to the SEREBII CONFIRMED MEME? The ones that were so blatantly fake that joe had to be an idiot to believe them? But he claimed to have a source he refused to reveal and posted the so called leaks anyway because IS TOTALLY LEGIT GUYS I SWEAR despite two of them looking nothing like their first stage of evolution and the last one just being the same but scaled up?
The fake leaks from pic related?
Those leaks?that feel when newfags try to spam memes they weren't there to know the history of, and blatantly talk out their ass
>>26294052
>He thinks 4chan is anonymous just cause you don't use a username
AHAHAHAHHA
4chan hasn't been anonymous in a fucking decade.
>>26294298
Anon, you're kind of missing the point of backpedaling. He didn't change his tune after being proven wrong by this month's Corocoro having fucking nothing, he changed it after noticing they phrased the announcement weirdly. Yeah, he was wrong, but it's not like he was trying to save face or look like he was right the whole time; it was just something he didn't notice on the first few readthroughs.
If you want to complain about Serebii being inaccurate, just remember when Bianca was supposedly the champion.
