>>51816855The thing is we didn’t know nearly as much as we do now about the gimmick and the Pokémon in the Gen. we didn’t have a clue about the a bunch of the gmax forms or pokemon until people started leaking them, we were speculating as to whether g max coallossal and grimmsnarl were the fabled Eternatus when some of the art book leaked. Compare that to now, we know every paradox form’s baseline design, we know what every pokemon in the game is based on at least loosely, hell we even have a good chunk of their typings. We know all the regional forms, convergent forms, evolutions and regional evolutions. We know the legendary quartet, we even know shit that’s being saved for DLC. This is not at all comparable to the relatively few things gleaned from the Affleck leak and riddles
