/vp/, along with most of the internet in general, will be completely and utterly unusable once Gen Alpha becomes the dominant generation of the internet.

4chan will have long since been bought out by corporate entities, dried up into generic social media before dying and being wiped out entirely.
>50 years from nowPokemon will have performed its first ever hard-reboot for its 50th anniversary, wiping away the rapid acceleration of new AI-generated Pokemon in order to bring things back down to the basics of a 151 Pokedex to help new consumers get into the franchise more easily.
