Where did everyone go? We had so many name fags draw fags and other homos in this place. It's like everyone vanished and all that is left is one schizo and coomposters.This is not the board I feel in love in, this is not us /vp/. I just want my old /vp/ back
AI filled the hole where draw and write fags once stood. Why get some random to do it when you can just use AI
the board never recovered from the devastating 3 piece combo of SOONTARS into KANTOOO into the worst games of the franchise
>>58867188Because people who drawfag and etc did what they did out of investment in and love of Pokémon. Pokémon has been so shit, game freak has show which contempt for consumers, and Pokémon fans are such assholes, that most of the people who gave a shit another to actually create stuff left. But also Vp and the internet as a whole is just not fun anymore. Ever since Muskrat took over the world and got his boyfriend Trump elected everyone has gotten meaner, and not in a funny bantz way in a genuinely hateful way. Though the internet was trending toward enshitifcation even before the muskrat era.
>>58867188I genuinely think boomerfag drove off most people all by himselfIf you don't usually come here, you won't be able to recognize his posting patterns, and you'll be fooled into thinking everyone here is a bootlicking retard instead of just one guyAnd if you're a reasonable individual, that'll be enough to just make you go somewhere else
All these posts are wrong 4chan has been in decline since 2016 when the website used the last of it’s meme energy on a pedophile. Ever since then the site has slowly been dying. The DOGE April fools shit and the following hack have greatly sped this process. I see the userbase of this site being cut in half by 2030 not even considering something like another hack.
>>58867188Blame ZA for being so fucking shit it killed all interest
>>58867188People see half the catalog is eevee related and turn 360 degrees.
>>58867188I am also working on leaving this shithole.
>>58867188Because this board nowadays is like 50% sharty colony, 49% /trash/ refugees and like 1% actual Pokemon fans who actually want to discuss Pokemon.
What is it, exactly, that you miss about old /vp/?
It’s all chappyfags fault
>>58867536She hasn't done anything wrong, though.
>>58867544She summons that retard who keeps the threads bumped for weeks on end
>>58867544>100+ off topic posts keeping threads alive long after they should've 404'd>nothing wrong"B-but the pics are cute!" So? Post them in Eevee Friday, that's actually meant to be an Eevee fanart thread.
>>58867544I think we need to start having a name for this guy, like Chappyanon-anon>calls chappyfag a she>uses anon instead of fag>acts like chappyfag isn't shitting up threads by spamming images and not contributing to discussions
This board is so pointless you can literally nuke it with no consequencesIt isn't 2010 anymore
>>58867549Chappyanon does not come with malintent. Again, not her fault jeetspammer is an obsessed retard.>>58867618>keeping threads alive long after they should've 404'dAt this point it might be better to just post pics in those threads (instead of making even more Eeveelution threads) til they die, at least until Chappyanon leaves/quits. /ef/ can remain its own thing, still encompassing all Eeveelutions.>>58867655No man would act as obsessed with cute Eeveelutions nor speak in the manner she does.
>>58867188It's like this on many boards, OP.The OG posters grew up and moved on.The newer users are seething ipad kid sharty pol schizos, that is, if they even made it here at all.Younger gen likes their Discords and Twitters and stay there.AI discouraged some drawfags, now most of the AI threads I see are more popular and active than the drawthreads.The hack was the final blow, I think.And this shiiiiit captcha is just making me want to post less overall.Certain countries need to be blocked from posting as well.
>>58867321>Game Freak badOkay yeah yeah>Political spergingPoint ruined
>>58868022More active than >>>/ck/ at least
>>58869010there goes the neighborhood...
>>58868540>At this point it might be better to just post pics in those threads (instead of making even more Eeveelution threads)Or you can just let them die, there's a reason some boards here autosage threads after a couple weeks. Besides, Chappyfag can take over threads pretty early, such as here>>58748421Where Chappyfag was the third reply, preventing OP from actually getting any battle facility discussion.>nor speak in the manner she does.Last time I check women actually can speak in ways other than "spam Eeveelution pics because someone else posted one". And so can men.
The world of Pokémon for the majority of people, is a tourist destination. There will be more peaks. Next month begins the 30th anniversary, any nostalgiabait they go for there could land with normies. Summer will see a big Pokémon Go revival for a couple months if they come through for their 10th anniversary. They won't do this, but if they "rolled back" the game to Go Classic (2016 UI) for a week or two, they could probably break those 2016 numbers. Hell, in 2018 they did gen 3 icons for the Pokémon on April Fools and that was a huge hit that had the normies talking, then they didn't do it again. They'll announce a new animated movie at some point and depending how they go about it, that could be a big deal. Ash will certainly come back at some point. Netflix has been "developing" a gen 1 show for some years now. Universal is going to get a Pokémon land, it's looking like it's going to entirely replace Springfield at the California park. I think a lot of oldfag posters are still around, there just hasn't been much to talk about. What there is to talk about these days is mostly frustrating and tiresome, instigated by paid bad faith actors and Indian men who are just passionate about being unpleasant.
>>58867366I think there will always be a market for truly anonymous online discussion. Whether or not that will remain primarily here or move somewhere else shall remain to be seen.
