Is Pokemon basically the MLP of the gaming community?
>>31974128
No, pokémon is the gaming community of MLP.
>>31974128
No.
Dem's Fighting Herds is.
Isn't the other way around? Like is mlp basically the Pokemon of the cartoon community?
>>31974136
What is MLP? I think i would hate it if i know what it is.
I certainly hope that's not the case. I have an intense hate for MLP after growing up with a brother who watched it and shoved it in my face constantly. Being associated with it is really annoying to me.

No, that's five night's at freedy.

what
>>31974441
This. And/or Undertale.
Also acceptable answer: Animal Crossing, but a little less so. They're not quiiite to the same autism levels.
>>31974128
Is [media franchise] basically the [other media franchise] of the [set of people]?
Not since franchises aren't people OP.
>>31974358
Literally google it faggot
Nah, that's Undertale. Tainted by tumblr. and people believing that characters are trans because of one throwoff-
Oh wait, that's Pokemon too.
I guess there's more than one MLP of gaming.
>>31974572
>Oh wait, that's Pokemon too.
tumblr is not even close to be the biggest of the pokemon fanbase's issues.
A MLP of gaming would have to be an innocent game that spawns a loud, cancerous fanbase that can be found on every single part of the internet. We're pretty bad but I think sonic fans and undertale fans are maybe just a wee bit worse.
>>31974572
>tainted by tumblr because of people thinking a character is trans
But that's what tumblr says about every franchise that ever existed.

Actually Touhou is. Pokemon doesn't reach the level of autism that Touhou can.
And yes, I'm saying this as a Touhoufag.

Really? Aside from Francinefag, the AC community seem that bad.
>>31974128
>>31974643
seriously?, what's so bad about pokemon fanbase?
the worst thing is the nostalgiafags who keep insisting everything afte X gen is shit
second to that is the bad furry art and bad fangames, but even those are way too spread and obscure as to be considered fanbase cancer.
Autismin a fanbase comes from anything that tries to appeal ti kids while also appealing to an older demographic.
Think about it:
MLP
Pokemon
Smash
Sonic
Minecraft
FNAF
All are clearly kid friendly but have something that encourages to kids to stick with it through their awkward adolescent phase, turning them into autistic adults. For Sonic is the edginess that makes him "cooler" than other kid's franchises (or at least it used to be the case), for FNAF its the horror aspect that makes adults believe it's ok to like, for Pokemon its the wafu's and occasionally dark storyline and complex mechanics
>>31974128
>What is Sonic
>What is Animal Crossing
>What is Club Penguinrip
>>31975396
>What is Club Penguin
Global warming, that's what.
>tfw the majority of the animal crossing fandom is made of friendly people
Every fandom has autism but calling Animal Crossing the MLP of gaming is just bad
>>31974128
No. Because LITERALLY everyone loves Pokemon. There's no exception. Pokemon fanbase is consists of literally everyone. If Pokemon is the MLP of the gaming community, then it's not a bad thing, because everyone is part of it and it's the norm.
>>31974897
as a touhoufag as well i have to disagree with you, because the fanbase isn't really that cancerous like the others
pokemon, 5naf, and sonic are definitely up there with the most cancerous, though
>>31974128
nah that would be FNAF or Undertale
prove me wrong

>>31975045
Every single pokémon game they preach about making friends with your pokémon and teach you children's life lessons. Do you even play?
>>31975644
This. The Animal Crossing community is extremely autistic, in a good way.
>>31975190
>what's so bad about pokemon fanbase?
Actually supporting the anime which harms the franchise's quality.
Reading comprehension levels below the target audience's.
People either being unable to distinguish canon from headcanon or just caring about said headcanon.
Misinformation.
People ignoring the basics of how video games are supposed to work.
Nostalgiafag white knighting.
And that's just /vp/.
>the worst thing is the nostalgiafags
nostalgiafags aren't part of the fanbase by defnition.
>>31975885
I thought friendship was meant to be magic. God bronies suck

Pokemon Go was made for people who don't.

A.K.A. one of the worst places to look for pokemon fans.
>>31976213
What's better? Because /vp/ at least has the advantages of the 4chan format, everywhere else I see it's the same shit. Maybe pokememes used to be, until it became /vp/ 2.0, did that get any better?
>>31976213
What kind of fans?
Undertale is

Not like theres anything better than this place. every other pokemon community or website with a pokemon community is the same shit
>full of underage shitters

>>31976127
>Actually supporting the anime which harms the franchise's quality.
If you believe the anime harms the franchise you might actually be retarded. the only thing that you can compare between the games and anime is the writing and pokemon games have always had shit writiing, anime isn't harming anything in that regard.
>>31976591
thats because they're too ashamed to admit the only reason anyone likes 2hu is for the porn
>>31974445
>>31974552
>>31976601
Taking the bait
>>31975832
How old is he? I guess he must've been in his late teens or even his early twenties when Pokémon was big. Most adults who like Pokémon played the games when they were kids.
>>31976730
>and pokemon games have always had shit writiing
They don't, and even then its unarguably better than the anime, not to mention that games aren't even supposed to have good writing if they arent story oriented which pokémon isn't.
So yeah, the anime harms the franchise by being the only front where it fails, why do you think digifags always use it to compare both franchises?
>>31974128
No, because Pokemon has a lot of content to discuss enough that it would be shitting up another board otherwise
There's nothing to gather from autists who spend their time sperging over ponies.
>>31975644
Thank you for saying this. Where's everyone getting the animal crossing community is bad thing from. Literally just a bunch of nerdy, friendly collectors. The worst thing that they create are the villager bidding wars but even that's just a drop in the bucket.
>>31978066
>only pretending!
Pokemon is considered somewhat socially acceptable, so no. This meme will keep being forced regardless though,
>>31975677
What about all of the people who, y'know, claim it's the devil?
Or the people that didn't play games and didn't grow up watching it? That's a large group, too.
>>31974128
no, Undertale is
are you fucking stupid?
>>31980888
>What about all of the people who, y'know, claim it's the devil?
I think you are vastly overestimating the number of people that fall in that category, let alone the amount of people that would take them seriously in modern society.
>>31974469
Y-you do know what a forum is for, right?

Literally the only good thing about MLP is the porn.
Literally the only bad thing about Pokemon is the anime.
I'd say there's a bit of a difference.

How did you survive to 18+ being this fucking retarded?
>>31982966
Explain to me what other uses it has.
>>31974490
Animal crossing is the most autistic. They just keep it to themselves.
>>31975255
This. I have this image saved because it gets use don every board i visit.

>>31980888
>Or the people that didn't play games and didn't grow up watching it?
Games, toys, anime, TGC, manga, movies. Pokemon has its filthy hands in literally everything. There's no one who's never been exposed to Pokemon before. No one.

>>31974358
MLP stands for Multi Layer Perceptron, a technique used for Machine Learning.
Nah, that's Sonic.
Being a quasi former brony myself I'd argue the MLP fandom is worse, then again I'm speaking from bias.

We really aren't. People here are straight on their retardedness.
