Pokémon The creation of this part of the website

[RoyNumber1]

I'm serious. Why are the staff so into Pok?mon? Like, there was literally a week dedicated for this franchise that has nothing to do with animal crossing other than smash. I'm still waiting for that Nintendogs section for this website. I know you can't hide your love for Pok?mon from me.

Yes, and I want a Kirby section STAT!

I don't know the actual answer, but I can probably take an accurate guess.

Pokemon is a long running, popular franchise with regular game releases with many fans on the website. Like Smash and Splatoon (the other two specific boards) it has a multiplayer focus and (I guess not really Splatoon) a concept that leaves it open for near limitless amount of discussion.

Nintendogs hasn't had a game since like 2010/2011, 6 games in total with 4 of those being debatable to whether they even really a sequel or glorified DLC (sort of like if Pokemon had 5 versions with different Pokemon on each). It was never really a massively talked about franchise even in its prime outside of obscure niche's on the internet (note: not saying it wasn't popular, but it didn't have the content or concept to generate much discussion either). It doesn't really need an entire subforum, it would be a waste of time since it would never get used. What is there to really talk about that isn't better suited to the occasional thread that gets 4 replies?
