You know what I have a very clear memory of? The day the Unova Pokemon were leaked, still with their Japanese names attached, and fucking EVERYONE absorbing that shit. Six months before BW was ever released here, I had a few ideas on favorite Pokemon, was fascinated by the story, and already had favorite characters and already shipped N/Touya.
This is the first time we've actually managed to get a goddamn game at the same time as Japan. Like you didn't hunt down every scrap of information you could find between the Japanese release and the rest-of-the-world release! The games are usually released in Japan SIX MONTHS before the rest of the world! You honestly think knowing the Pokemon you can find in Kalos makes XY ~ruined forever~? What the hell did you do for the other generations, try to muddle your way through a Japanese version, or perhaps avoid the entire internet for six months?
Get some perspective! We have ALWAYS known what Pokemon were in a game before it came out Stateside.
