I was there when it first started and it's honestly not the same. Ever since they shut down invites and Shibbs left it has fucking sucked. Some of the greatest shitposting I ever seen took part in happened there. PLA Season was subpar compared to them starting a "Fuck Centro" campaign and fucking with Reddit.
I honestly think once the fucking PokeTubers started covering it, Shibbs didn't want to be canceled and dipped. Now it's filled with trans people like every other Pokemon Community
