>>20553587/vp/ is a part of 4chan so people are quick to talk shit but deep down most of us want civil discussion. We also enjoy being retarded when we think we can get away with it.
Also the general threads have their own communities and friendships. We've also been ranked the most friendly board or someshit which sorta scares me when you think back to how aggressive people used to be about "gen 3 remakes never happening," "new types never happening," "Smogon vs Karen," and all the other shit we go bananas for.
Deep down though we all can agree on the basics that this series is worth putting what little time we can enjoy into.
