>Why /rpg/? Gen V wasn't that long ago.You're right, this newer cutoff now reflects what definitely is the point where Pokémon had a drastic change in direction along with it being related to age. Additionally, with Gen V also being on the DS, it occurs well after the true downfall of the series, the downfall being Hoenn. Playing games that aren't officially a cash-grab anymore is kind of the point of this general.
We had considered other names like 2D Pokemon General (/2dg/) and Classic Pokemon General (/cpg/), but >/cpg/ and we wanted to be inclusive of older games like Stadium that fall into pre Gen III territory but are not necessarily 2D. We put it to a vote back in thread #3 and the majority seemed to want /rpg/, so here we are.
