As far as Power Rangers is concerned, Time Force, Ninja Storm, S.P.D., Operation Overdrive, Jungle Fury and RPM all dispute that theory. Even more seasons when the lines of "main" are defined, as in cases like Lost Galaxy and Lightspeed Rescue.
And the only reason Kamen Rider hasn't done such more often is because the audience rarely even meets the main villain until late in the series.
So, yes, it's nice that Xaviax finally got off of his hiney, but it's hardly unprecedented.
