True. Maybe one day we will get a proper revival if another simulator comes out or who knows, GF decides to create their own and adds a chat system.

Why won't I champ

Why do you guys let a non-existent figure rule over you? Just because there isn't a champ does not mean you have to follow their rules. I say sugg and sugg hard, champ or no champ, it is you who makes the champ not the champ

Heckling was a big part of the charm here. So were chatlock wars and the metagame was a lot simpler to comprehend back then so even brainless champs could eke out a small win streak, feel satisfied, and want to come back later.

Now there's hardly a crowd and at least 2/3 champs leave their positions simply due to disinterest from the nonexistent watchgroups. Doesn't help that the people who stick around have the personality of a fish and can just regurgitate memes.

Unfortunately 'derp didn't have the strength of character or community to really stick together in a way that wasn't prone to being an eventual circlejerk. That's a hard line to maintain, though, from any Anonymous to "named" setting. I can't blame the room and the server for becoming the circlejerks they were until closure.

There are probably a lot of other little factors im glossing over.

Anyways, yeah, this place is more or less dead. Kept alive only by odd hangerons who can't help but make a thread. I'm happy to have been here in it's heyday but those days are long gone.

As I've grown up, I find it a less valuable use of my time to trash talk literal children on a Pokemon simulator. Also Pokemon in general, whether it be personal perspective or fact, is less fun than it used to be. The novelty of the Showdown website is mostly gone in my eyes. Despite always avoiding subsidiaries or offshoot Showderp groups such as the room and discord, it's hard to blame them for losing sight of Showderp, since Showderp itself had only ever gotten less meaningful from its inception.

It's of course, an act of futility to look towards the past and hope for those days to return, rather than creating something new, but for some of us this "limbo" is acceptable still. Being critical of the current "community" is fair, and the meme-spouting is certainly repetitive but it's far from a factor regarding the state of Showderp. Consider the state of Showdown and how it reflects the popularity of /vp/ and "competitive" Pokemon as a whole.

VGC is more popular than ever but yeah keep coping about how competitive in general "loses popularity" because of a fanfic meta dying. Maybe Smogon shouldn't have been so dumb as of late.
