An interview with Cat333Pokémon (Cat) from Lycanroc.Net, a mixed media fan site, with origins dating back to August 2003. Plus, a recap on the latest Pokémon news and more from the Johto Times mailbag
Former Victory Road admin Yoshi here! Thanks for this interview, it was fun going back with Cat reminiscing about the old times and piecing together the history of our little internet hideaway. Victory Road happened at a pivotal moment for me as I was getting into Pokemon proper since I only had a passing interest in it during the Red/Blue days, so it was nice to have a place to discuss this new interest. Much like Cat these places serve as a great time capsule for us of our high school and college days and I treasure them dearly. Truly a relic of a different world that was focused on sharing a common interest with others in a small community and not just driving ad revenue by screaming into a void. Thanks again Cat and everyone on Victory Road for the memories.
Hi Yoshizard, and thank you so much for your comment!
I'm very happy to hear you enjoyed the interview, and I appreciate your time administrating the Victory Road forum. I was not a member of your forum, but I have heard from two friends after this interview went live that they used to be members, and enjoyed the place.
If Johto Times plays a small part in keeping the history and memories of your communities alive, then I am very glad to have done my bit to make that possible. I hope you'll check out some of the other interviews we have done!
Yes thank you for your preservation efforts as well! With the internet landscape the way it is nowadays, it's important to have these looks on the past preserved. I've read and enjoyed many of your interviews after Cat brought this newsletter to my attention, so many sites I haven't thought about in years and nice to see what their creators are up to nowadays.
