Take a look around. What Pokemon fansites do you see that aren't the huge game info sites like Serebii, Pokebeach, etc?
Cave of Dragonflies, A Dragon's Den, Arkeis (kinda), Pokemon Desert Shadow....is that it? This isn't including the really ugly site builder sites. I'm talking about the nice sites that have something to offer instead of broken links.
I think it's official guys. The Pokemon fansite trend is over with. Even with the rise of Gen 5, that didn't help. I doubt Gen 6 will do anymore stuff.
The Pokemon fansites got hit with the originality, no gaming info trend so they were stuck on what to do. Besides theories which get really boring to read because most can't write good ones, Pokemon fansites closed with no hope or moved on to another subject matter.
Unless some new Pokemon idea gets thought of and spreads like the flu, I think the Pokemon fansite trend is finally done and had its day.
It's sad to see it go and there are a few people out there that I would've loved to keep in contact with but with their sites gone and contact info burried, I'll just have to hope they're doing well. And there are some other people who were retarded and I'm curious to see if they actually made something out of their lives.
To whoever reads this, we are all survivors of the Pokemon fansite trend. I don't think anyone saw it begin but whoever reads this saw it end. My run from 2006 - 2012 was a nice run and I believe that in those six years, I learned a lot. It even got me into the career path I was most happy with.
Let's hope someday that all of us on Aqua Beam will return so we all can have a nice long chat again ^^ Or even, let's hope the Pokemon fansite trend can come alive once again!
Til then, let us all carry on and live life freely and with pure joy.
I wonder what new fansite subject matter I can find and fit into.
