I mean wow, look at all the freakin Pokemon threads! Its uncanny how the release of one enhanced remake and the news of 1 pokemon gen remakes can spark this much poke talk. Its getting to the point where there are 3 "team" threads per page. Maybe someone needs to start an official pokemon thread?

Theres Gamefaqs, its just that people are too lazy to go there, so they flood the Ds board with these threads.

It's really been bugging me too. If you want to talk about Pokemon, go the freaking pokemon forum. I think it's time we cracked down on this horse poop. From now on, nobody reply to Pokemon thread.

It's mostly the new guys, they keep making threads about Pokemon without actually going to a Pokemon forum or anything. That and no one else seems to bother making threads about anything else.

It annoys me to. When you come on here and like the entire top page is all pokemon threads it gets on my nerves. Go to the freaking Pokemon forum people.

I noticed that too. A few weeks ago there was some topics, but after this weekend it just flooded the board. Maybe we can make this topic our secret HQ to plan some evil stuff to destroy the pokemon empire? :P Jk.

The Pokemon thread explosion started when Platinum was released. I'm glad others are finding it to be pretty annoying now. I'm definitely getting tired of it. They definitely need an Official Pokemon stickied thread. It's just absurd that 85-90% of the threads on the first page have to do with Pokemon.

What's so weird about it that is that Gamespot likes to banish certain topics to sticky threads, while Pokémon threads are allowed to run rampant here even though they have their own forum.

What did you expect? Platinum came out recently and Heart Gold and Soul Silver just got announced. And all of this news about new Pokemon games made everyone go back and play the old ones.

The fact of the matter is that GameFAQs and Gamespot have very different communities, even if our accounts are linked on both sites. This forum explicitly allows Pokemon threads, so either deal with that fact, take it up with an administrator or moderator, or find a different forum.

And? People who are here to discuss Pokemon are here for Pokemon. They can just as easily discuss it on Gamefaqs or the GameSpot/Gamefaqs forum bridge on the games Gamespot page. But apparently they dont want to so it would seem a official thread is in order to halt these constant Pokemon threads here.

I like pokemon too but these fellas up in here are just overdoing it with the trades/battles threads and its not really easy to ignore especially when they could either join a pokemon union or go to the pokemon forum boards.Nobody didn't say that you can't talk about pokemon but for the trades/battles,just go to the pokemon forums for a better chance in getting what you want instead of posting it on the DS boards right through.

Pokemon,overall,is too broad of a topic to limit to just one sticky,with how many games there are and how much the games have.It's a similar situation as to why there isn't a huge religion topic in the Off-Topic board; it is just too big.

Honestly I've noticed it for quite a while now. It's kinda went in waves of either 80% of the first page or 40%.... but it never seems to go down to just a few... They should make a Pokemon Forum so that everyone would go there and talk about pokemon... :roll:

VGobbsesser
This. Pokemon is simply too expansive to discuss on one thread, or even one board (if that board is devoted to one Pokemon game only). For example, do you really think you could discuss Pokemon Mystery Dungeon on a Pokemon pearl discussion board? Or how the hell could you talk about EV training on a Pokemon Ranger board? Then, within one game, there simply is too much happening to confine to one thread only. I mean, a single Pokemon game can have you fishing, gambling, advertising a bike, participating in beauty peagants, taking walks in parks, cooking food, gardening, decorating secret hideouts, oh, and, before I forget, catching and training Pokemon. How do you discuss all of that on one thread? You don't. Also the fact that, like it or not, Nintendo handhelds a) survive and b) exist, almost exclusively because of Pokemon games. They're here to stay, and you'll see, when the DS 2 comes along, it'll be flooded with discussion of EV training in Pokemon Tin/Aluminium or whatever the next ones will be called. If you don't like it though, maybe you can ignore the Pokemon threads, or take it up with the mods. Or maybe, you and like minded people should start flooding this forum with non Pokemon themed threads. Good luck with making sure they hold though.

Here here Instead of complain about the threads, you should contribute by giving links out to each one. Such as "Use the Pokemon board found here" After awhile, people will start to catch on.. hopefully

You are right that there may be too much going on th keep it to just one thread, but for god's sake there are forums for each of the games themselves. So why isi t necessary to fill up the DS board with 50 million posts regarding Pokemon. Why can't they just all be kept to the forums associated with the specitic games. That is why those forums were created. This fotum is theNintendo DS Discussion not Come here for all of your Pokemon DS discussion forum

smurf_killer

The GameFAQ pokemon boards support hacking(they have a sticky on how to request hacked pokemon). Most people here hate hacking. I think that's a big enough difference. I do agree that they could probably bring it somewhere else, but they're mostly new users who don't know where to bring it.

Like general topic threads asking "Hey what DS game should I buy in this category?" Isn't that the point of a general discussion forum? I've been saying this for months that it's not right.

we should do a evil plan:

1)make as much "hate-pokemon-threads" threads and someone will do something

2)kill everyone

3)put sublimminal msgs in McDonalds and common places, say"llik enoyreve" they will surely work

4)hack DS board :P

5)burn down the pokemon empire

pick one! ;3

I'm not really sick and tired of the pokemon threads, but I don't think trading threads should be allowed in here. It's like half this board is full of "QUICK! TRADE WITH ME NOW!" threads, but I don't even trade to begin with.

It's been like this for weeks upon weeks. I want it to stop as well but there is little we can do about it right now.

I'm sure a topic will not be made.

It's been Pokemon-filled since Platinum came out. And I wasn't here when D/P came out, but I'm guessing it was like this too back then. I wouldn't mind so much if most of them weren't involving online matches/trading; I love Pokemon, but I'm not really into that part of the games much. But I wish I could just discuss the games like we discuss any game.
