Hmm...I guess it wouldn't hurt. Third Gen.

Note though that it's not about the Third Gen Games (there's a forum for that) nor is it about the Pokémon; well not directly anyway.

Now, none of you steal this idea even though you're not exactly sure what it's going to be like. I'll delete it if you do lol >O
 
So, while this is here, I was wondering. If there was anything you could change about Pokémon Groups. What would it be?
 
Agreed with Regeneration above me. The board is doing well as it is.

But the primary concern is activity in the groups in general. People just create the groups and then they disappear like POOF.

And Dent. <3
But I agree, there should be more.

Oh yes! Dent! I totally forgot about him! :D

I'm already planning out a club for a certain Gym Leader... I was going to do a Gym Leader fan club (as in, a club for ALL of the Pokemon Gym Leaders), but I feel it's too broad. So, I guess it's better to stick with one.

Oh yes, this; especially this.

I don't like the way people sometimes make groups and then never return again. We do try to keep the groups alive with some new topics now and then, but how long can this continue? Majority of the groups with a lot of potential to provide great and interesting discussions end up dying due to lack of interest from the group owners.
 
Sometime it feels people create groups that are too specific, like fan groups around types, and eventually discussions turn stale and boring. It's hard to keep a group active when all the discussions have been had. But then again the Eeveelutions fan group is doing fine.
 
My favorite groups so far are Dento/Cilan club and Team Rocket club. Pokemon special adventure was my favorite but it closed down sadly.

I think it's fine the way it is. But I honestly feel there's something missing (other than activity and a mod. We got Hiiro looking after this place. :D), but I just can't figure it out.
 
I'm advocating for Official Devil's Advocates.

...and not actually explaining what that it. Um, my idea is that every club had an assigned antagonist who prompts discussion by going against what the club is for. Like a Devil's Advocate in the Iris fanclub would be saying things like "How is Iris better than Dent?" "What kind of gym leader has Pokemon that don't listen to her?", those kinds of things. Not being excessively rude, not being spammy, and prompting discussion.

And only that club's Official Devil's Advocates would be allowed to do those things. Each club would appoint a Devil's Advocate if they wanted. The DA does not have to be a fan or even a hater of that particular topic, they just have to play the antagonist.
 
I'm thinking emblems to promote (or in other words encourage) people to start being more involved with their groups. This could also be used for Other Clubs too. That and an idea occurred that maybe once a month or something we could have a "Club of the Month" or something like that. Giving stand out clubs recognition and giving people ideas on how to handle their own clubs if they choose to have one.

The Devil's Advocate idea can be implemented by club owners (not making it something that is required). I think it would be better and refreshing if the person (or people) who plays the Devil's Advocate is randomly selected each week rather than have the same one person every time.

Perhaps I'll put this idea to a test when I start my own group again; which is still in the work guys. XD

Ooooh, I once thought about "Club of the Month" before, but I forgot about it. I completely support that since I know it'll be fun. :D
 
I'm all in for that idea, Hiiro. This could bring more activity (and bring back members who left their clubs in the dust) in the area. I can imagine the boost.
