>>30715841Pokemon is popular. Most people on most boards have done their fair share of GO and maybe even bought S/M.
But this board, along with others, is pretty hated. Unlike /v/ and /pol/, though, we're not constantly brought up and attacked, people only pay attention to us when we provoke them and we generally stick to our own board. So that's something.
Keep in mind too that /co/ is one of the worst boards on the site themselves and they really shouldn't be saying anything about anybody.
