>>43594005It was 2010 anon. The DS was nearly dead. Smartphones were the big thing. Many people with a DS had R4s. Fucking everyone pirated BW. I was here and there were also a lot of people who imported them too. That was some real hype back then, we were just coming off of HGSS.
I remember when newfags flooded the board in March 2011 when the games came out in English. 2011 was a pretty shitty year here, you have no idea how much better it is now. Numerous RP and furry threads, every thread was a general or a one-off dumb question. The thing with the coomers is that you know that they know better, but these were a bunch of legitimate autists. I remember that's the year that all the porn imageboards for Pokémon like Paheal and Gelbooru became flooded with furshit. It wasn't always like how it is.
