>>40498988gen 5 was also pretty self-contained on reveals, all we knew is that the game would have nothing but new mons till you beat the E4, when the actual game came out and we saw 150 completely new mons, the net exploded in hype.
in fact, the hype was so big that /vp/ was born because of it, /v/ could not contain the gen 5 hype train, back ten.
this is one of the reasons gen 5 is so beloved in /vp/, everytime you see a kanto fag pretending to be a "boomer" shitting on "zoomers" from future regions, let me tell you, they are full of shit.
same with gen 4, I remember the 4chan leaks from back then, the hype was insane.
