Just like with X/Y and everything before it. I really hope this yearly release thing doesn't stay a trend. Downtime /vp/ is the best.

/vp/ won't get an influx of users. If you knew what you're talking about, you'd realise /vp/ got shittier because of the XY leaks. Outsiders went to see them (along with looking at the "4chan community"), and stayed because the hype made us a lot more welcoming to newfags/faggots and not elitist enough.

We shouldn't be /a/ cancer level, but we should keep some elitism. Know why we didn't have decent OC since 2010-2011?

You're mostly right in terms of posting quality issues, but there's been a clear jump in activity here since the announcement.

Going by US release dates:

>Red/Blue - 1998
>Yellow - 1999
>Gold/Silver - 2000
>Crystal - 2001
>*Ruby/Sapphire - 2003
>FR/LG - 2004
>Emerald - 2005
>*Diamond/Pearl - 2007
>*Platinum - 2009
>HG/SS - 2010
>Black/White - 2011
>B2/W2 - 2012
>X/Y - 2013
>ORAS - 2014

It's beyond a trend, it's a consistent pattern (with the exceptions of the ones with * next to them).

There's faggots on both sides of the spectrum.

>>19188185
Of course, it's a new game release, there WILL be more activity, but it's not on the level of post-leaks activity bump.

>>19188201
Yeah, the period at XY release where every thread would get derailed by IGN/Safari faggots asking for friend code/safari mon/etc from other posters is finally finished, although some people still namefag for no reason.

>>19188221
It shouldn't be everyone. The decrease in quality affected everyone. These posters usually mean no harm, they just want a good /vp/ back.

/wfg/, drawthreads, those tournament threads, etc

they seem to have learnt that you should only use a name inside those threads and take it off everywhere else

The only truly good "downtime" was 2012, where it somehow persisted despite BW2 release. It was just enough for us to not fall in a rut but as the same time not be flooded by newfags. Plus we actually had decent janitors.

The only other real downtime was 2011's where we were shitposting central. This past "downtime" is just as bad as 2011's, just less furfaggotry more general thread circlejerk and newfags.

If anything brings an influx of new users it's the leaks near release with people getting the game a couple days early. And it only happened with XY because the worldwide release meant no Japanese release we already knew everything about the game from, namely all the new Pokemon. And that'll happen anywhere someone gets the game early.

The announcement itself does very little.

I stopped visiting /vp/ because pokemon games get boring after so many hours of breeding and outside of wifi threads this board is shit.

But what was the reaction when Hoenn was, in fact, confirmed?

Containment board doesn't mean a place where retards are left and filled with shitposting, it's when something is so popular that it needs its own board so it won't flood other ones. I bet you're the same kind of faggot who sits there, shouting about how 4chan was never good, while not contributing at all.

>>19189530
You haven't done much, though, except tripfag and shitpost in flare threads.

You're not stalking me hard enough.

Point is, you're bitching instead of contributing, which- basically makes you unhelpful, and monumentally braindead at the same time.

You want things to change? Change them. If all you're going to do is bitch, you can leave.

You should go to Smogon/Serebii/Bulbaforums/Reddit: any of these places are better for trading.

The reason /vp/ is the best community all-around is that you can talk freely about pokémon, joke, battle, have fun, while not being restricted on what you say and enjoying the ephemeral philosophy of imageboards.
