PK's Fake Shaymin Forme
As I know that a fair few people on this site frequent or at least look at SPPf's front page on occasion, I'm sure you've seen the whole Shaymin Forme thing with PurpleKecleon faking people out with her new, extremely well done hoax.
For those who missed it, here's a good summary from Eevee, owner of Veekun, on the whole debacle. I'm not posting the whole thing, since it's rather long, but I'll give the series of events sans links. Quote:
On a related topic, it seems that this also fueled an e-penis war between Serebii Joe and Pokebeach's webmaster. It's pretty depressing that these guys will go to this level of poor journalism just to be the "first source for Pogimanz news." It's also pretty depressing that so many people are really that desperate to believe it. So, in conclusion, I think it's safe to say that the community is overrun by egos and 12 year-olds. Or am I just being a pessimist? |

Re: PK's Fake Shaymin Forme
I enjoyed reading the link provided very much.
I also had no idea that this hoaxter duo was behind the Psychic/Fighting/Dark trio image. I loved Beaky! (referring to the beaked Dark type on the bottom left) Wasn't a big fan of the kangaroo or (shudder) the triceratops though. And we all fucking now how that one played out! (In plain English: Rampardos and what's-his-name representing the dinos, with no 'roo and no Beaky.) I agree this is an interesting social experiment and Pokemon news source experiment. It also shows that I have more reason to hate Serebii Joe -- he's a 4ch@nner! (Yes, I have friends who go to 4ch@n, but that doesn't mean I can't have double standards.)

So glad I don't care about this type of stuff anymore.
