Well if they're genuine troll pastas those would just get swiftly deleted, right? But that's beside the point (or at least what I'm trying to get across here). The problem that most of the Pokemon pastas I think, and believe the OP agrees with me here, is that while stories regarding strange events with Pokemon (like the Black Cartridge story, and a few others) can be rather creepy, the source material is starting to get exhausted. It's the same situation with Herobrine stories and Lost Episode pastas, telling the same story over and over again with different blanks filled in everytime makes for a boring read. Replacing Pikachu with some new DS generation Pokemon isn't going to work, just like replacing Spongebob with one of the Happy Tree Friends isn't going to work.
