We are the only other specific franchise to have their own board.

Look into your feelings, you know it to be true.

Pokemon is one of the few series that can span at least four boards now and continue to grow in size.
Let that sink in.

There are many more boards to worry about until /vp/ is considered the source of cancer.
/b/ not included, obviously.

At least Pokemon doesn't constitute as an immediate deletion/ban on other boards. You might get a few >>>/vp/s, but overall people are a lot less hostile towards it than MLP. I've had good discussions about Pokemon outside /vp/, and seen many a thread make it to the bump limit.

You also have to consider that this board only exists in the first place because the BW hype was so great it was overwhelming /v/. I don't think it was ever intended to be a permanent board, it just happened to work out that way.

Didn't Moot address this like last year or something? He said something like the only reason this place exists is for when upcoming games are released.

Well if /vp/ was down graded into a /vg/ general it would burn through so many threads in a day that it would make the starcraft general seem dead.

Board still gets a lot of activity for one franchise.

Nah, Pokemon's mainstream. When there are so many fans, you're bound to have a lot of autists.

Honestly, I don't think there's truly a game fanbase on par with MLP. Sonic is probably the closest, but unlike the MLP fad it has lasting relevance and a much larger pool of fans period.

Yeah, I think that was at the tenth anniversary panel. He said something about how it's "only useful once every three years".

I get what he's saying, it does stagnate when there's no hype. Still, this board does have some interesting discussions and is bearable compared to some other boards. That's probably why it's been up so long.

Sanic has yet to recive his own 4chan containment board, despite shitting up /co/ and /v/. We are just as bad when it comes to obnoxious fantards and autists.

I would agree with you, but then I had my first encounter with bronies the other day.

Holy shit, they make us look like normal, well-adjusted human beings. Not to say some of us aren't. Like >>19299987 said, with a fanbase as large as Pokemon's, you're bound to have a loud minority of autists.

Getting kind off topic here but...

The 3D games are hit or miss from what I hear. Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, half of Sonic Unleashed, Sonic Colours, and Sonic Generations were overall pretty well received. The others however, like Heroes, Lost World, and that abomination from 2006, well... not so much.

Still hoping Sonic Boom will be cool though.

I know people constantly suggest that but it simply wouldn't work anymore.
We have so many different threads filled with so many different people that it would be way too confusing as a single general.

If /vg/ would have existed before /tr/ was created it might would have worked but now it's way too late for that.

Really?
That was one of the first 3D Sonic games I ever played and I thought it was completely horrible from the beginning to the end.
