I mean, heck, OK, maybe it's never explicitly stated he moved out. That would be weird.
I've always thought that they stopped dating after the Piccolo JR saga.

Bulma still had a thing for Yamcha. Look at the way she reacts when he dies against the Saibaman as well as crying on the air-ship when they realize Earth's dragonballs are gone. Also her reaction when Yamcha comes back to life at the end of the Freeza saga.

Yeah, it wasn't until after Trunks debut they broke up, because Yamcha cheated on her.

Was Yamcha training at Capsule Corp in the early Cell saga before the Androids arrived filler? The scene where he tries to train in 300 times earth's gravity in Vegeta's ship?

Yes, that was an Anime-only scene that wasn't in the Manga.

In the manga, doesn't Gohan mention Bulma will contact Yamcha about the 28th Tournament? Doesnt seem like they still live together if she has to "contact" him.

That would be the 25th, the one that took place during the Buu Arc and yes I do think Gohan said that, but I'm not sure.

Yeah, my bad. I was referring to the tournament the Z-Fighters went to before the Buu stuff began, which is the 25th.

Yamcha doesn't like to fight and get killed. He doesn't have the heart of krillin , tien or satan, neither is he anywhere close to saiyans or piccolo in power and skill.

I feel bad for Yamcha. I mean, not only did you humiliate yourself in Dragonball during the tournament Arcs by never getting past the semi-final, not only did you get killed by a Saibaman, not only does your girlfriend of many years dump you for a man that is indirectly the reason for your death, not only do you train 3 whole years only to have a near death experience by getting a hole through your chest and never even throwing a punch, not only do you get turned into chocolate by Buu, but you also become such a background character that your presence isn't even acknowledged.

"I know not what this Yamcha is, but it sounds disappointing".

Even now in Super, Yamcha's role is about as important and relevant as Yajirobe, Mr. Popo, and Korin. Yeah, those guys never even appeared in Super but Yamcha has. That statement says it all.

Our Lord and saviour Popo hasnt appeared AT ALL in the new material, not even 2008 special that had like every character ever. Censorship? :p

Fear not, Popo will be the mysterious 5th fighter on team Beerus in the tournament arc.

He will transform into God Popo and wipe the floor with Whis and Vados fused together.

Lol.
