On January 25th, 2016, I began monitoring our board, every night for at least one hour, for any mention of anyone's favorite Pokémon. I did not miss one single 24 hour cycle of dutifully checking every reasonable thread for any mention of anyone's favorite Pokémon until November 1st, 2019, at which point I began only checking once a week, until March 4th, 2021, at which point I gave this autistic shit up altogether.

I adhered strictly to the following guidelines:
>erase any Pokémon that anyone claims as their "bro"
>erase any Pokémon that anyone claims as their "favorite", including simply posting a pic of said Pokémon in a "favorite Pokémon" or similarly designated thread
>even if someone talks about the favorite of someone else they know, erase ‘em
>attempting to claim a full evolution line as either "bro" or "favorite" disqualifies the claim

I honestly forgot I did this, just stumbled back upon it and thought I’d share. I know the Carkol thread will outlive my sentiments here, but I did get a smile looking at this image, thinking about allllllll those many ‘mons over the years that I got to see chosen, and hoped to share that smile with you. It's like a very outdated /vp/-wide Nobody's Favorite Pokémon Pokédex??

Look, I don't know what the fuck drove me to do this, but the point is that if I had kept keeping track these last four years, there wouldn’t be a single one of these Pokémon left behind. Love you guys and never change
