Why does Pokemon get its own board? Are we really that special?

Pokemon is a massive, massive, franchise spanning multiple mediums, that's why it's contained here.

By a certain definition of special, yes.

/vp/ is a decently populated board compared to many of the other ones. Now imagine all this shit the franchise covers flooding the rest of the site.

I wouldn't say it's special, more like containment.

Wouldn't this question be more fitting about /mlp/? It's not a massive multimedia franchise and global phenomenon like Pokémon.

I think /tr/ was made solely because of the huge amount of Pokemon threads during B/W speculation which /v/ hated.

Containment, also Pokemon is a pretty big franchise that would span multiple boards if /vp/ didn't exist, at least one thread on /a/, one on /toy/, multiple on /vg/, and multiple on /v/.

Pokémon is too big for /v/ to handle and /vg/ wasn't created when /vp/ was made

But there are less autists spamming Star Wars.
We have a containment board for the same reason /mlp/ has a containment board. It is not difficult to understand, newfag.

because star wars doesn't shit out a new main series movie each year like pokemon does and for the longest time star wars was stagnant.

people only really like the star wars movies. nobody cares about the toys/comics/cartoons/whatever. pokemon has had success in multiple areas on it's own that aren't only piggybacking off a larger franchise.

It had started after the multiple Pokemon generals on /vg/.

/mlp/ just exists to keep the filthy ass bronies in quarantine.

/mlp/ was created because there were a shit ton of bronies in /co/ and they didn't want them there because /co/ is full of autists that can't stand seeing girl's shows on their imageboard

Ponyfags were shitting up a ton of boards so /mlp/ was made to contain them.
