I know it wasn't the right time. But the thread didn't have to be locked. Itwwoupd get more popular.
I'm not sure that you should even be allowed to lock a thread based on how much has been revealed. And those are two threads, they should have been merged and are completely different. They are things you want and don't want to see.
Seriously, I'll be fine with the lock. If you can actually come up with a Valid reason for it.
And I'll give an example, If you look at the Mega evolutions thread people Said they liked or disliked Mega Sableye. So i'm not seeing how it's taking away discussion.
