i used /vp/ primarily in 2012-2013 and here's what i remember
>people loved making memes involving random lolcows and ocs (tentaquil of course, but dave and nidochum were posted a lot too)
>genwars werent nearly as prominent as they are now but still showed up a lot and people argued about what was good/bad to no conclusion (just like now)
>the only real general consensus was that genwunners are fucking annoying and should GTFO
>BW2 era was mainly a lot of memes, porn posting, and the wifi generals were pretty active, especially during the great magnemite coil trading to fill out join avenue
>pre XY was relatively positive, a lot of people were ready to get rid of the sprites and another group of people said it looked like shit
>as usual people were mainly just talking about leaks instead of what we'd seen of the game itself and the board was flooded with "sylveon is normal" vs "sylveon is fairy" shit, with a group saying its flying or even fucking bug type
>faggotry over "mewthree" having a girl voice in some movie leading to people saying they ruined mewtwo
>fairy type announcement during E3 broke the board and people joyously shat on normal/flying/bugfags
>mega evolution was EXTREMELY mixed on announcement, with a ton of people saying its literally digimon and it ruined pokemon, with others excited it wasnt
>everyone fell in love with this fake ferret mon that kept getting posted
>other fakemon from fake leaks were memes like sadfish and later bananabird
>there was a LOT of roleplay which eventually got banned from /vp/, the most prominent was "pretending we're pokemon" which eventually became diaperfur rp threads
>leaf was unironically considered an underrated pokegirl
>implying owls are birds and mew cant learn crabhammer were classics
>brb smoke break guy basically ran /vp/, i specifically recall him posting bergmite then vanishing
>the bui takeover post XY release about goodra
it was a simpler time and a lot of /vp/'s genetics could never exist now
