Genfourmer

A Genfourmer (Combination of Genfour and Gamer) Is a fan of Gen 4 that believes that it was the best generation in the series and that all the others are "Too outdated" or "Not real Pokemon". The "Leader" of the fanbase is Terrence.
== History ==
Genfourmers started when Gen 4 launched (Obviously). A lot of people liked those games and because The Pilgrimage was going on when the games came out, A lot of people wanted their "Quirky retro Pokemon" from Gen 3 transferred to the latest gen so they can see what it's all about since they're getting back into the series thanks to The Pilgrimage.
Genfourmer leaders are decided by who can win a Pokemon battle against each other. In 2009, After a massive tournament between hundreds of Genfourmers, Terrence was the ultimate victor and became the leader of the Genfourmers. Since then, Many people have challenged him to a pokemon battle, Lost and had it permanently recorded on their trainer card's win/loss statistics for eternity.
Eventually, The Gen 2 remakes came out this generation and made people interested in Gen 2 again, Increasing the amount of both Genfourmers and Gen 2 Fanatics. This lead Terrence to call Gen 2 Fanatics "Major dorks" and officially declared the Gen 2 fanbase to be enemies of the Gen 4 fanbase.
In 2012, Brad, A major figure of the Genfourmer community and lifelong friend of Terrence, Announced that he was leaving the fanbase to join the Retail Roundup. A community centered around Retail World of Warcraft and hating on older expansions. This was because Brad was getting tired of modern Pokemon and wanted to play a different game where the protagonist is a magical world-saving hero who never loses and somehow instantly roasts all bad guys who are trying to take over the entire galaxy. Terrence wished him the best in his new community and introduced the "Brad Clause" to Gen 4 competitive battling that restricts the use of moves that force the enemy to switch pokemon.
== Crossover with the Emo subculture ==
For whatever reason, In the late 2000's when the Emo subculture was everywhere, They really liked Pokemon, Guitar Hero, World of Warcraft, Cartoon Network and that Where The Wild Things Are movie nobody talks about anymore. Once The Pilgrimage started growing massive to the point where not even they could avoid it, It was a given that they would be massive fans of Gen 4 since they probably haven't played since Gen 2.
