>>39542662Right, gen 4 (platinum) is what put pokemon into the hands of normal fags, then people who left the scene cause pokemon was "for kids" came back after growing up and getting nostalgia goggles. This was at a time when "gamer" became a word in pop culture (not just a video game nerd) and it was becoming mainstream to be a nerd. Then gamer girls and gamer gate and blah blah blah, videogames are now a multibillion dollar market, competitive esports, gamer food, twitch thots, etc... Shits changed for the worse and we all know it.
