Pokemon has been around for years. In fact the game first released in the states on September 30th 1998 and its still alive and kicking with new games, movies, and television episodes being released with in the year to come. So how was it turned in to a Hot Topic? This was not the goal of the PSF Petition and asking Lanzer about it the last few weeks. As you know Hot Topic doesnt stay for long. Its just a Sub Forum for the time being and then the topic fades away in to the archives. But Pokemon has been around for to long for it to just be passed over in to an archive abyss with Twilight and Justin Beiber. Use this thread to talk about what you think and feel about the new "Sub Forum".


Currently there are:
55+ Games out for Pokemon
13 TV Season, And growing
15 Movies, So far
9 Comic Series (released in February 27th 1996)
And a TCG game that is always growing with expansion packs.

Soon there will be the new Black and White games coming out with in the next year. The CB and the VGD will be swamped with even more Pokemon related threads about the new games. Currently if you open up the VGD you will see at least 6 pokemon threads at any given time-At some stages it over takes the front page even. With a sub forum there could be a place for all of the questions people have, Leagues people frequent, or just threads pertaining to a current popular Pokemon game. Right now many of these question/tourney threads are being kicked around the CB and tumbling in to the back pages. This makes for recreated threads and only creates a larger mess in the CB/VGD. With a sub forum there would be less 'Misplaced Threads' Making less work for Moderators.

Pokemon can be found in Gaia Items as it someone kindly pointed out:
MoonRosePetal
It's even prevalent in some of the items on Gaia. Mewpit was the first Gashamon to appear on the site (probably a parody to Pokemon due to Mewpit's description). The Golden Chuuchilla is a pretty close parody companion to Pikachu. Submarine capsule anyone?


In a way, Pokemon has even effected our cultures. There is a Pokeman Plane- a Pikachu Car!

Hey again Lanzer, How have you been this past week? Good I hope! I played it I rather like it! There is no Labor Day here in NZ- So no big plans. I was just wondering if you passed the idea of a Pokemon Sub Forum to the Admin like you said you would, and if so, how they took it. Also you said you carry a Pokewalker-What Pokemon do you keep in it? Lastly, why is your title "Admin" and not "Gaia God". Seems more fitting biggrin


Been super busy with some new features, but yes we're definitely looking into having a sub-forum.

Today I have Dratini in my pokewalker.

I like calling myself admin since day one, because I want to be on equal grounds with all other staff in our team. I'm just the first guy who happen to be writing code. -_^

Hey Lanzer! I was just wondering if you all planned to make a Pokemon SubForum. I dont see Pokemon dying down in popularity any times soon, what with Pokemon Black and White coming out within the next year- I have many points also listed in my Petition Thread. ^w^

Also, there is a nasty rumor running around amongst the Pokemon fans that someone once said you and your staff dont like Pokemon surprised Is that true?
.


Yeah many of us are big fans, I'll pass the suggestion to the admin team.

Not at all, I'm playing SoulSilver myself. I carry around my Pokewalker to cons!

Gotta catch them all! We all love monsters, in a big way.

Do you like mudkips?

Speaking of mudkips, is there going to be a pokemon subforum anytime soon?


Oh I luuuuuuuv... Chinese food. What were we talking about?

True, surprising that such a popular game doesn't have its own sub-forum.

I agree- That was the idea I had in mind too. I have no idea why they made it a HT, seeing as Pokemon has been around far to long to be a HT. More like FF or Ragnarok at this point.

Something at wont be tossed off at the end of the month to rot with Justin Bieber and Twilight. Pokemon has been around to long and deserves more credit than a one hit wonder and a sick love story stressed
