Joe is one guy but if he left Pokémon and left Serebii to rot, so too would a shitload of people.
The autists are the backbone of ANY community online. Without us they can't have a fanbase because casuals have no one to ask question about how to play meaning anything that can set them off of playing a game, will, when they can't figure it out themselves.
We're small in number but we definitely matter.
There's a reason the games have stagnated in sales between 6 and 16 million depending upon the type of game. That being because they keep spitting in our faces. Keep removing shit people like which sees them leave. To be replaced with newcomers, but not really more than what left. It fucks them in the ass every time they don't listen.
Pokémon could be selling 25+ million by now easily and they refuse to take the time.
