I was hanging out on /b/ because that's the only board i cared about at the time, hadn't even checked what other types of boards there were.
Then the whole PUDDI PUDDI bullshit happened, and i came across people saying it was done to /x/ as well
So i checked out /x/, and a little later figured i should probably see if there are any other interesting boards.
And of course i found /vp/

Here's one of the first screened threads i came across

This is all a long time ago, so i might be misremembering, though

I searched about Pokemon Sageand Google led me here

idk I got here sometime in 2012 after BW2 released, came to 4chan for /b/ at first in the same year, honestly can't remember my first day or month on the site

I was into Nintendo forums since 2009 where I first got into online Pokemon, went through BW hype season in those places
