>>53049924First girl rule usually holds true too. It was naive to disregard Misty and bury their heads in the sand especially when Serena has also been away for a long time so it's not like she had the upper hand in that respect.
>>53049927I doubt it's dying out, but half the regular posters have either jumped ship or conceded that they're indeed pandering to pokeshipping and are pissed off about that. One guy is arguing with the others about them being in denial, which I have to at least admit is mature to be honest, though he doesn't think it'll result in anything. The rest are in complete denial and coming up with tons of cope, doing autistic levels of "research" about trends in Japan to "prove"... I don't even know, that Serena is winning? Again, it all just comes across as huffing copium. I think deep down they're nervous, if they weren't they wouldn't be acting like this.
>>53049931They're so mad.
>>53049953Lots of shit in the thread and I'm too lazy to screencap the rest of it, but you can browse through for what I mentioned above, it's pretty funny. Also pic related was the beginning of the meltdown when the Misty episode dropped if that helps.
