italianon here, the games you mentioned are regarded as extremely nerdy and niche, while everybody played Pokemon and watched the anime. becoming the strongest trainer is a dream that has incredible legend and prestige surrounding it. as opposed to whatever you're supposed to achieve playing these other games

Yugioh is popular with Italians.

I wonder how Pokemon and Yugioh got so big in Italy. I do know they've had anime since the 1970s or something like that, though.

Based. People have their gaming priorities straight.

>>59352622
Why is there a pajeet called Marco?

Outside of that I have noticed a lot of the top players are Italian for some reason

decline in football = rise in VGC

20% youth unemployment rate and living in their moms basement until 40 means a lot of free time to get good at irrelevant things

Over the past ten years in Italy some YouTubers have channeled almost all the traffic around the Pokémon brand toward themselves, greatly boosting the visibility of the games. Italians, who are basically unthinking people who like to gather around others and have a "daddy" figure, began idolizing these ecelebs, making them very famous (in Italy, we don’t really have a Pokémon forum or board like /vp/, the main active communities are the paywalled ones run by those people, and this sucks). Some of them invested large amounts of money to stream regionals and worlds every year, sometimes even getting more views than the official streams. This triggered a chain effect, leading more people to start playing competitively.

/vp/ è troppo sovlful per l'Italia

Can you say that without the tranny shit

What the fuck are you even talking about?

this is not true.
Certo Pardini ha un sacco di bot a giro per l'internet ma è anche vero che non esiste che l'1% di youtuber VGC rispetto alla comunità di lingua inglese, perciò è tutto molto più accentrato. 10+ anni fa non lo cagava quasi nessuno il VGC in Italia eppure avevamo giocatori di alto livello che hanno persino vinto Worlds. Prima che la dinamica che hai descritto si fosse potuta innescare

Yes, we had champions in the past years before modern YouTube was even a thing, but I'm talking about the situation right now. We can't deny that VGC in Italy got more popular because of YouTubers

Did that comment break you? It said can you make your original post without all the weird tranny shit
>>
>>59353084
You must be retarded, there's no other explanation
>>
>>59353082
are you confident enough to say that other European countries lack VGC jewtubers of the caliber of the Italian ones? I bet there are comparable guys more or less everywhere. With Wolfe being the overlord of this niche of course
>>
>>59352622
Cydonia god

>>59352623
This, but also Italians in general are insular and support their own communities so the Italian VGC scene builds and works together more than other regions where you have smaller friend groups teambuilding. More people bouncing more ideas off each other and sharing results leads to overall better outcomes. And lastly, and probably the most important, Italians are, as a culture, pretty pragmatic. If an idea works, they'll just take it and use it.
