Pokémon Nostalgia Cycle

A phenomina in the Pokémon Community. About 8-10 years after a generation of Pokémon releases, the people who grew up with the generations start glazing the games to death. Sometimes generations are skipped in the cycle (like Gen 2 and Gen 6) and usually join another generation's fans (like Gen 2 fans joining Gen 4 fans due to HGSS).

The cycle started off with Genwunners in the early 2000s-early 2010s, then Gen 3 fans in 2013 with "Hoenn Confirmed!", then Gen 4 fans/Sinnohfetuses in 2017, and then Genfivers in 2021. It will likely shift to Gen 7 fans in a year or two since Pokémon Sun and Moon turns 10 next year.
"I've seen people praising Gen 7 online more recently. Is the Pokémon Nostalgia Cycle shifting again?"

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
