>there is a discord dedicated to making genwar threads on /vp/>there is a screenshot of them admitting they started the "gamefreak is paying poketubers to slander johto" rumor>this screenshot also includes them fabricating infographics to make johto look better>another screenshot has them admitting to stirring up shit against sinnoh and unova, the former usually by ignoring platinum's changes>sometimes, with little to no provocation, a bunch of anti-sinnoh threads will appear within a short amount of time>a screenshot of an anti-sinnoh essay is often reposted in these threads>this essay was most likely written by difficultyfag>difficultyfag shits up any discussion about, what else, pokemon's difficulty>including discussions about kalos being easier than previous titles>he also defends the party-wide exp. share>and uses screenshots from unova games to show that older gens are easy>any criticism of kalos prompts a deflection to unova>this also sometimes happens with johto, as shown by this thread>there is a push to classify sinnoh and unova as 3D games>also to claim everything bad about kalos actually started with unovai'm not 100% certain that it's all connected, but it definitely activates the almonds.
