>>24760935How? It's hilarious that Pokemon expanded beyond just being "(enter name) version"?
If /vp/ didn't exist, other game boards would be cluttered with different pokemon-related gaming general threads due to spin-offs and sideline games that gain a lot of attention. Can't put them all together because it make it difficult and make the threads a mess due to the difference of these games while trying to discuss them and what-not. I'm shall no boards want to deal with that. Especially /v/ or /vg/ since they are already cluttered enough as it is. Some stuff also wouldn't have a place to go too since pokemon isn't just a single game like the Ashime, tcg, toys, etc. I know /a/ really makes the anime the butt of the joke but people still legit watching it telling by Anime General. Same logic goes with the pokemon toys in /toy/.
Sorry that Pokemon got the special treatment because it actually meets the requirements of getting it's own board and have the people who like it to back up those facts.
