>>16340176>>16340243>>16340375>>16340466This board was made during the advent of HeartGold/SoulSilver because there were too many threads clogging up /v/. This was long before /vg/ was conceived.
OP, in saying that we're moot's least favorite board, is specifically referring to the 4chan panel that happened recently, where moot stated that /vp/ was only relevant when a new game was coming out.
Personally, I think that concept is silly and that moot simply doesn't visit us very often. Before Gen 6 we were already among at LEAST the top half of more active boards. Now with Gen 6, we've become a more well thriving community than ever with all of the player-player interactivity brought about.
I also think that this is one of the, if not THE, best pokemon communities on the internet.
