Do people here even like Pokémon? From all the gen war threads and coomer threads, it really makes Me question if half the people here even enjoy the games, or any other piece of media from this franchise.

I enjoy the games quite a bit, although I haven't played them as often in recent years as I used to. I've also been playing PokéClicker and PMEX occasionally.

No lol
Majority of the board hates gen 6+ that's why it's so miserable

A lot of what you are seeing here is based off not only that we are all anonymous, but also because a lot of people are in denial over the quality of the franchise in general. Pokemon is a fun game, I don't say good, I say fun, it has nostalgic appeal as well. The older that people get the more we want our favorite thing to grow or become better, since our world knowledge and inner knowledge has increased (without consent). We also have people here that are very angry at themselves and use the sterile/safe Pokemon franchise as a solid stone in their lives.

So to answer you, it's complicated, but I don't think this is about Pokemon at all, but our age.

I enjoy the games for what they are, I've been playing since Gen I and despite them always being very kiddy and simple, the gameplay loop and creature collecting soothes some base instinct in me to keep me coming back.
Sadly, expressing a fondness for the newer games gets you tagged as a boogyman from other anons, unable to marry their obsession with the franchise's treatment of them, leading to the board you see today.

I enjoy the games a fucking lot

I like the games except for gen 4 and 5

you can definitely see this in other gaming communities as well Any Forums is vitriolic for the most part for similar reasons.

>capitalized pronoun
no... it can't be...

shut up, you just want a thread that has some actual interest to devolve into angry monkey noises, you just want to see the world burn

I like the manga

I don't. Masuda is holding my family hostage and makes me shill for him with my website. He won't even let me update the look of it...

God?

Pokemon is still fun to me.

I like the games, but i don't like to deny the evident decline of quality of the franchise.

the stream of palatable content stopped after gen 7, leading to the zombification of the board; there's basically nothing to discuss anymore because the games genuinely suck ass, even the spinoffs no, gacha is not an enjoyable concept no matter how much money you pour into the software that will sunset as soon as there's a dent in the profit margins, taking all of your artificial attachment away with it

A lot of the Pokemon community is made up of people who see the RPG mechanics as a limitation and grew up with the cartoon so they get upset that the game focuses on the RPG side rather than the adventure side basically.

Pokemon as it was in the past which is why I live there.

who else is just waiting for vpixelmon to start again this year?

how advanced is vpixelmon these days? is it still hosted on a potato with copper wire stuck into it?

I love Pokemon (the actual Pokemon), I love Pokemon spin-offs, I love Pokemon fanart, I love talking about favourite Pokemon with other people and indeed I do love pokemon porn
but god damn does all the mainline shit suck ass

You seem to misunderstand the concept of being fans of Pokemon or a franchise for that matter. Unless your description of a Pokemon "fan" is blindly consuming every form of media it pumps out. You can be critical and god forbid criticize a franchise and still be a "fan" and "like" the franchise.

There's nothing about """coomer threads""" to suggest the posters do not like Pokemon.
