>>48435886/vp/ is the closest thing to a place where I can discuss Pokemon without wanting to kill either the person or myself from their sheer stupidity.
The closest being the key part of that sentence.
That and the occasional leaks, both of game info and when the release period is upon us, the .cia/.nsp leaking ~3 days before release.
Also you guys are generally pretty based when it comes to the social side of things like Go friends or Friend Safaris back in the day.
Even if I don't enjoy the series as much in it's present state, /vp/ is for better or worse a place where I've made some good memories and I'd much rather discuss Pokemon with you autists than go anywhere near Twitter or some comment section.
