>>32956948As someone that has been in this board since inception, i can safely say this is the most polarizingly received modern trio.
/vp/ was near unanimous in their hatred of the Gen V's starters final forms, which is why the whole incident coined the Wottergate name, so at least you can say we united and rejoiced in our hatred. The few that actually liked them were inconspicuous, the fandom equivalent of faggots commenting "This thread is going so fast that nobody will know that i'm gay".
Gen VI had one week of tremendous shitflinging everywhere when the Final Stage leaks first happened, but it quieted down right after game release. Most settled on Greninja, and then SSB happened and stirred the shit pot again, though not as heavily.
But Gen VII's have been like Leak-era Gen VI, except spread out for the entirety of the Gen's lifespan. I still can't pinpoint /vp/'s winner because there's so much shitflinging and autism for all 3 of them, but that might be because of cancerous newfags. I think you're a bit right on this one.
