Is /vp/ a containment board?

Is OP a faggot?

>>33511832
Yes.

Is Donald Trump's presidency to blame for the Hurricane season?

It's a quarantine imposed by /v/ until the sickness known as Pocket Monsters finally goes bankrupt & disappears for good.

Gamefreak sales are declining. It's only a matter of time.

>>33511832
duh
take a good look at this board. do you really think it has enough quality content to have ever deserved its own board? the reality is that /v/ got contaminated with shit tier posts, and mods were getting tired of the cleanup. so now we have our own board where the shit this community posts goes mostly unmoderated. why do you think threads hardly ever get pruned? we couldn't make it on quality threads alone. /vp/ would die. starterwars etc would've been long removed on sight if they weren't a sizeable part of this board's content.

>>33511877
exactly what he said

>>33511846
>gamefreaks sales are declining
this is irony right

>>33511842
Can't be, I thought God loved republicans.

>>33511846
Pokemon sales have actually been rising

Yes, Pokemon needed to be separate from /v/ because it took up such a large portion of discussion. And the range of discussion is far too great for a single general on /vg/.

>>33511902
>>33511892
not if you adjust for inflation retards

>>33511832
According to the mods, no, but we turned it into one.

>>33511832
There are a ton of people waiting for Gamefreak to confirm that Pokemon will follow you as you walk before buying the game. Yes Pokemon fans are autistic.

Eww

>>33512408
Maybe they're so old they have forgotten

>>33511842
no but he is to blame for responding fucking terribly to not one nor two, but three fucking hurricanes in less than a month

>>33511832
/vp/ isn't completely a containment board, but I wouldn't say we're too far off.
The board was made to not fill /v/ with HGSS threads, essentially containing it. But unlike other containment boards like /mlp/ or /trash/ you're still allowed to post about pokémon on /v/, /a/, /vr/, /e/ and what not. Even if many anons will tell you to fuck off back to /vp/.

>>33512916
I know right. He should have just went on a fucking golf vacation like Obongo instead of donating his own money

>x and y are the 3rd higest selling mainline games
>Oras is the highest selling remakes
>BW2 is currently the higest selling 3rd version
>3ds is the least sold nintendo handheld
hmmm

>>33511832
Yes, but not on the level that /pol/ or /mlp/ is.
Basically, I'd say it's like this.
>Low Level Containment Boards
Boards created to redirect traffic for overly popular topics, while not explicitly disallowing the topic on other boards.
e.g. /vr/, /vp/, /jp/, /vg/

>High Level Containment Boards
Boards created as a dam of sorts to prevent certain topics from being discussed on other boards. Attempting to discuss said topics on other boards will often result in bans.
e.g. /mlp/, /pol/, most of /trash/

>>33512935
>donating his own money
He's the fucking president. That's like running walmart and giving employees at one store an extra 5% discount. He runs the fucking country. His pocket chance is insulting and a sign of his incompetence.

>>33511832
no, it's the GOAT board

deal with it /v/tards

This board was literally started because of the omnipresent Pokemon General on /v/. Back in those days, we didn't have the catalogue, and it was taking up a spot on the front page pretty much constantly. /vg/ got split off for the same reason, though that was a while later.
>hardly anyone here was around for that
I feel old.

Contrarian and never can be pleased faggot spotted.

Don't worry, Clinton can still win, you just need to vote in Democratic Senators in 2018 to Impeach Trump to put Hillary in.

>>33514325
If it makes you feel any better, I was around before that. I just didn't have any interest in /v/.

>>33514325
that´s why /vp/ should be nuked
Besides a few generals, this board is garbodor

I've been around long before that, still remember all those years without captcha.
I pay /vp/ a visit once in a while, but it's a fucking terrible board and at this point I have only contempt for the regulars.

given that it was created to remove hgss from /v/, it is

>>33514441
Give that the creation of it was not accompanied by a "and all Pokemon discussion must take place on /vp/", it's not. "Containment board" implies it was created to CONTAIN discussion on a specific topic, but Pokemon discussion is still allowed elsewhere as long as it's on topic.

>>33513278
>this level of retardation
I'm not a big fan of the guy, but cut the bs. The guy didn't accept the Presidential Salary, he's not being paid to be the President, him donating his own money to the cause is way better than what Obama did.

Just because he's inept at world affairs doesn't justify you going full retard about the facts.

>>33511832
/v/ is the containment board.

>>33512934
It was black and white. It was created the day reshiram and zekrom were unveiled

4chan is a containment site, and a shitty one at that

>>33513223
autists fighting to prove who is the less autistic contained board when they're both equally autistic and do the same nasty stuff to the franchise thew follow.

Does Bernie still have a chance?

Until the Switch game hits shelves and it becomes a thing again.

>Clinton is a retarded bitch so automatically all of the retarded manbaby's issues are justified
It's not required to be one or the other you know
Both are pieces of shit unfit for running countries.
