>>38813499Mine is painful to recall, but I'll be honest.
When I first came here it was like 2010 and I was 14 years old. I arrived with the intent of posting my own ragecomic about genwars because "4chan is the funny cool place Encyclopedia Dramatica told me about". It was even well-received.
My first impression was that this was "a cool edgy place to talk about Pokemon for a cool and edgy Pokemon fan like myself". Hurts to think about. I remember tripfags eventually killed the board for a while until something was done about it.
Honestly I still think this is the best place to discuss Pokemon. 4chan is the one place people don't suck Game Freak's dick, and a lot of threads have fantastic art.
How the actual fuck have I been here for 9 years? Jesus.
