Has there ever been a monster hunter game that had ZERO Elder Dragons at launch

As we know, Wilds will not have any Elder dragons unless Shagaru somehow sneaks in since Gore is present but the leaks seem like a lost cause in that regard. As someone who started playing with World, has there ever been a previous MH game that had no Elder dragons in the base game at launch like Wilds or is this a first time thing?

If it's a first, how are the older fans feeling about it?
