What will happen with /vp/ if the franchise dies?

People will still talk about the older pokemon games

I actually found these article drafts by accident

Game freak has only 118 employees. Making 240p games it doesn't cost much to make.

Pokemon selling 1-2 million not 15-16 million would still make them a profit

And here we have the common /vp/oreon, unable to read but still posting, relentlessly trying to be funny, to fit in. Someday maybe, just maybe, anon will finally realize it is best for him to step away, and on this day we will all shine a bit brighter.

Until then, we'll just have to put up with you.

4chan will be gone long before Pokemon. And with new Net Neutrality rules this could be sooner rather than later.

Huh, well I didn't think about it from that angle. I guess the franchise really just cannot die if it is so low cost.

Also I guess >>32748138 still has a point. I was asking more on the lines of "why would 4chan keep a pokemon board now if there are so few threads there that the same level of discussion could be done over at /vg/?", but I'm satisfied by the "people will still talk about the older games" answer.

The franchise is already dead. Nu-Pokemon as of now is like Sonic, the games getting steadily worse and worse as it fails to catch up to more modern competitors. Nobody does turn-based combat anymore, and for good reason; it's a clunky, archaic system that only worked when hardware couldn't handle more involved gameplay. As time passes by, only the hardcore autists, furfags and waifufags desperately cling onto the franchise. And much like Sonic, one of the tell-tale signs is the constant nostalgiafag pandering in the latest installments.

what did it mean by this?

The only reason /vp/ exists is because of how flooded /v/ would get every time a new game was announced. With no new announcements, general Pokémon discussion will just get integrated back into /v/. Some of the more dedicated spinoff generals here might move to /vg/. The anime threads will move to /a/. Pokegirl threads will still exist on /e/, /h/, and /c/. Literally nothing of value would be lose if /vp/ were deleted

4chan will die before Pokémon.

The board will eventually be deleted, and Pokemon discussion will be relegated to /v/ for the vidya/TCG stuff, /a/ for the ashnime and Generations, and /vg/ for generals like Showderp, Clover, Pokemon Go General, /c/ and /e/ for waifuposting, and so on.
