I remember everyone was still talking about it on a weekly basis though, but yeah maybe fewer people were actually *watching* the japanese version. I remember seeing hella spoilers everywhere all the time though. Definitely even back in the days of AG serebii's homepage had the sidebar with "Next in japan"I feel like it's actually way more pronounced this time though because... in the time of AG and D&P, the Japanese version was significantly harder to get a hold of than it is now. Both for the show and for the games. BW... I'm less sure how that would have played out. Though I do hear that some people were upset that the English version renamed the region from Isshu to Unova.
