Suggestion Return of the "Old Style" Pokemon World forum

[Drakon]

This is a sticky topic in the "New Pokemon World" forum and it refers to the "Old Pokemon World" forum

Okay, in the last week or so I've three "Who's That Pokemon" games have been posted. This is not the section for games. What this section is for is:

~Discussion of aspects of the overall Pokemon world that aren't fully explored in canon, such as government, how Pokemon powers actually work, etc.
~Working out the mechanics of the Pokemon world.
~Discussing the overall Pokemon world itself as a universe and not as a franchise (so don't post topics asking where you can find a certain Pokemon-related product).

I propose we bring this forum back as a subsection under the "General Pokemon" forum. It would basically be a think tank on aspects of the Pokemon world that the canon does not fully explore, much as Roses Ablaze's post states.

Why can't you do that within the current forum?

 

[Drakon]

The old style forum kept everything organized.

Instead of topics about things like "Misty's Starmie's hovering capabilities" being mixed in with topics like: "Pokemon Songs You Can Play On Any Instrument".

You would have a forum dedicated to discussions like: "Mystery Dumgeons: Did A Wizard Do It?". To me, it makes the forum less confusing.

 

[AiedailEclipsed]

Its kinda redundant really. Why have two forums for basically the same function.

 

[Drakon]

The current one also discusses "Pokémon's impact in our world."

General Pokemon could work for that and the Pokemon World would serve as a more specific niche.

I'd be open if it could be shown that the forum would get activity.

 

[AiedailEclipsed]

Yeah, that could be an issue as well, actually getting activity, which correct me if I am wrong, but is the reason the forums were "condensed" so to speak, to have less forums with more activity.

 

[Drakon]

There seems to be a lot of discussions about "Pokemon world" mechanics cropping up recently and the old discussions about "Pokemon world" mechanics had a lot of replies and views.

Can anybody point me to a bunch of threads that would be a good starter for a forum like this?
