How does /vp/ feel about the massive upswing Pokemon is experiencing right now due to the release of Pokemon GO?
I wish you fucking faggots stayed on your fucking containment thread.
>>27044749
Don't be a whiny bitch, anon~.
If people like it then good for them.
The first couple days were full of hype, just stop spamming the catalog with so many threads.
If you don't like the general here there is always /vg/, who usually goes more in depth with their discussions, has better information in their OP's, and with a 750 post bump limit creates and atmosphere for longer discussion.

I think its great! Means that Sun and Moon will have a good player population in the first few months.
>>27044749
Gosh, I know, right? All my forced meme, furry and shitposting threads keep getting deleted because of them! Somebody should put a stop to them!
>>27044903
None of that is gone because of GO, now we just have le epic pepe posts xD added to the mix.
I hate what it's doing to /vp/
People say it will lead to a new golden age of pokemon, which if true is great, so long as GF earns more money and get to expand on their creativity
But if all it does is make pokemon more popular, then i'm neutral to it
>>27044903
You couldn't have made it any more obvious that you're a tourist, even if you tried
>>27044735
>upswing
The fandom is possibly the worst it's ever been, with legions of "oh hey I played Pokémon Yellow once 15 years ago I'm such a nerd!" normalfags reappearing after dormance.
If this stays as popular as it is and the hype doesn't die down this is going to be objectively bad for the quality of future games. Prepare to see Genwun pandering that makes XY look like BW1.
>>27045603
Literally anyone that posts regularly on /vp/ is the worst part of the fandom and you know it.
Unless you actually like chronically snarky, contrarian pokephiles that defend every fake leak and argue over poketubers I've never heard of.

>Unless you actually like chronically snarky, contrarian pokephiles that defend every fake leak and argue over poketubers I've never heard of.
I like them better than the go fags.
I actually miss the gardevoir fags now that we have this new breed of cancer.
>creepy pokemautists think the casual fans are the shitty fans
kek'd mightily
>>27045642
Not everyone on /vp/ wants to fuck Pokémon and more people on this board hate e-celeb threads than those who like them.
It's really hard to be worse than a real genwunner (by "real" I mean like the stereotype I just described; there are people who like Gen 1 that aren't complete casual asshats).
>>27045694
>I actually miss the gardevoir fags now that we have this new breed of cancer.
Well let's not go that far.
>>27045600
Are you denying the existence of forced memes, furryposting and shitposting on this board?
I's the same kind of arguments as capeshit on /tv/. No point crying about it because it won't make it go away. Make your own threads and hide Go threads. Unless you enjoy complaining and being angry.
>>27045712
The casual fans might not be shittier fans than the autists on this board but they sure as fuck aren't BIGGER fans than us.
When you've spent 2/3 of your life fapping it to the pokedex in numerical order it feels sort of insulting that some chad bro thinks he's in the same league as you and the rest of the weirdos here.
>>27045694
God, /vp/ always finds more ways to be shitty it's impressive almost
>>27045754
No, i'm just saying that even if there's a lot of crap, it's not nearly as bad as you said it was
A quick profile on these """"people"""" we have to deal with more and more.
>Post using phones
>Genuine underage or returning genwunners
>Gobbles up whatever feces they see on Twitter, Youtube, and the like
>Most likely to sperg out over obviously fake leaks
>Yet have to the nerve to call any actual discussion "autism"
>Most will never use capitalization or punctuation
>The worst of them will display one of the ultimate sins: self-censored curse words.
>>27045938
/vp/ sure does love their slippery slopes.
Upset, this is just the normies co-opting another subculture that they would normally treat with disdain in circumstances where it wasn't popular.
Give it two months and they will go back to thinking that pokemon is for kids and manchild losers while conveniently forgetting about the car wreck they got into while trying to find a Pidgey on the highway.
Sun and Moon will sell at least 20 million that's for sure
>>27045938
It's not like this board was that great to begin with.
At least now I have more people to collect (you)s from.
>>27045938
>cant accept criticism towards go
>will call anyone who doesnt like it an immobile neckbeard
>doesnt understand what general are / do
>>27045938
>self-censored curse words
I don't see how this is a problem, words of power are dangerous, you could easily kill someone by mistake.
>>27045713
Tourist here, dw im not posting on this board with the exception of this one question i have:
What are gardevoirfags?
>>27044735
I overheard a group of 4-5 20-somethings openly discussing Pokemon Go at the grocery store, today.
It felt weird to hear the name "Bulbasaur" spoken aloud again, but... I think I like it.
>>27044749
But this question is being asked to all of /vp/, not just people playing Go
>>27050220
>What are gardevoirfags?
What a question.
>http://archive.nyafuu.org/vp/thread/26775882
That is just the tip of the iceberg.
Extreme autism, even by this boards standards.
>>27045712
>creepy
How old are you?
>>27045938
Gas the mobilefags and you solve this site's underage problem. Most parents won't buy their kid a PC but they certainly will buy them a phone.
Phones aren't for shitposting, get a PC you poorfags.
recruit the furfags
it is a necessary evil, drive the pokeporn to obscene levels
the normies wont be able to withstand
>>27046021
This board was great when it was almost dead a few months after XY release, despite the Goodraposter.
Shiposting combined with traffic from go has brought it to its knees
>>27051087
D-do we call the paw man?
>>27044735
It will die quickly in a week
>>27051087
Normally I'm highly against that, but considering how bad the flood is I'd honestly be willing to try it, only temporarily though, once the majority are driven off the board would have to go back to blue.
>>27044735
I like that pokemon is getting positive attention in the media and all, but the influx of normies and newfags on this board is fucking ridiculous
