>>55936612You're missing the point anon, I was there too. All gens *have* been super successful and popular, but the internet inherently hates them when they're new because new pokemon bad. People who touch grass are too busy just enjoying the games/franchise.
4chan is also not the site it was 10 years ago. The franchise is more popular/successful now than it has ever been in the past, but this site has only gotten shittier and lost traffic overall. People have moved on to discord or other social media sites. /vp/ is relict.
