>>41685051No, I've been on /vp/ since it started in 2010 and 4chan since early 2008. BW came out September 2010, and we knew basically everything about them for months. Then a bunch of new people showed up in March when the games were officially released in English and had no understanding of board culture. Like sure, 2010 was "/b/ with Pokémon" (err, I guess /b/ is kind of unrecognizable now even to what it was back then, and back then it was unrecognizable to what it had been), but 2011 was like Fur Affinity mixed with Gaia Online. The fucking constant roleplaying threads, the actual teenagers on the spectrum, the huge amount of namefags and tripcodes. I remember when what's his name who did the musicals was revealed to be an actual dogfucker.
