not really. It's just turn-based. If you want a challenge though you'll have to play hardmode

But on YW is impossible to "catch em' all" on 2 games they already have fucking 490 youkais. They just focus on 50 youkais to do their markenting while the others stay on a empty box. You gonna tell me that Pokémon do the same, but actually every saga on the anime just one or two Pokémon didn't appear with even a minor role on an episodem while youkaiwatche fulled all his spaces with ALL YOUKAIS EVER MORE IS BETTER and forgot that they have to merchan then because if isn't people will forget. Every pair generation on Pokémon is to promove old Mons, they have already 3 gens with even more mons and even more. I really don't like this.

Nah, fad stuff like this can survive fairly well in Japan alone. An international audience is a plus but Japan's pseudo-xenophobia gives it a somewhat anomalous environment where it very much doesn't need it.

Oh, I agree that Yokai Watch will survive, no doubt. I'm just skeptical about the suggestions that it'll become a bigger phenomenon than Pokemon. At best it has niche popularity outside Japan, and I don't see evidence of that changing.

I enjoy both series and discussion on such, but this board was designed to keep the pokemon flood out of /v/. Changing it to /mon/serves no real point.

>>25924736
>superior YW discussion
All I ever see being discussed is how it is doing better than Pokémon and arguing whether it'll kill the series, literally nothing about game or gameplay outside of it 'plays itself.'. Hell, I doubt they even played the game in the first place, only use kotaku shit to further shitposting
>>
>>25924761
not that guy but yes. mainly just because pokemon is the only monster collecting game i play and i want to get into other stuff. i'm considering picking up yokai watch but honestly these games are more fun when there's someone to discuss it with.
>>
>>25924815
True, but would allowing other series in really help. It wouldn't end the incessant "which Gen is better" garbage, it would just shit up things even more with franchise wars.

I'm not saying it couldn't work, but I suspect that it would lower the level of discussion even further.

Nah, the designs are fresh and nice. Majority of them are based on Japanese mythos, while some are just based on International mythos with a few fun ones thrown in there.

I'm excited. Yo-kai Watch is a great series that really shouldn't be compared to Pokemon. It's more like each Yo-kai has it's own personality and isn't just a pet but more like a friend that actually has a say in whether they help out or not. Pretty cool and a nice step back from stuff like Pokemon.
>>
>>25925649
This, to be honest. I'm torn between wanting more mon series where the mons are more than just pets who mindlessly obey you and wanting YW and a few other mon series to keep that feeling. That said...

I'm pretty sure the emphasis is that their your friends, and each battle/move is the MC asking them to help out, hence the fight on their own/loafing aspect.
Plus it'd be kinda weird to keep a semen demon like pic related around as a pet

They can't do what they're doing with pokemon because they know the fad is dying fast.
Pokemon has well over several millions of dedicated fans in Japan alone who will buy the magazine just for info.

there are already 2 tengu yokai running around YW (Tengloom and Tengu). Hell, 3 added that Crow tengu that is pretty much another case of that motemote fellow.

Pokémon is just about the only thing keeping Nintendo handhelds relevant.

HMM. THAT SOUNDS LIKE MEGAMI TENSEI, YKNOW, THE GAME THAT STARTED THIS TREND BACK IN 82?

OH WAIT, I'M SORRY. POKEMONS IS A HOLY GRAIL THAT IS ORIGINAL DO NOT STEAL, AND DIDNT TAKE FROM ANY POPULAR EXISTING IDEAS THAT ALREADY EXISTED.

HA HA. MY BAD.,

That game sucks. Each monster is the same and they don't get stronger when you use them so you need to fuse or swap out them.

>>25924069
honestly this sounds like every other monster collecting game out there, not just exclusive to pokemon

Its funny how you can tell 90% of /vp/ hasnt even ventured to see what Yokai watch is and just thrives on word of mouth from /v/ and other sources.

It's NOTHING. Like pokemon. Not even remotely similar, unless you count Enemies, and Type advantages, which has been a staple of every RPG ever.

Its exactly like Demikids, and A more child friendly SMT. You barter to make friends with yokai, and they can take your shit and run, or decide to join you in some ludicrous way. Not throw balls at them and catch them or anything.

Its More SMT then Pokemon. Pokemon is just a Dragon quest rip off anyways.

Why do I never hear about this franchise anywhere other than 4chan? Even then, it's usually just shitpost threads such as this one.

Does anyone outside Japan give a shit about it?
>>
>>25926335
nobody cares a game that's japanese as shit
>>
>>25926442
tumblr/twitter seems to care to an extent, and it must be doing something to still get support from the three big corps, and a mobile game no one saw coming.

We get all the Katamari games, though. Unless there's some obscure arcade game I haven't heard about.

Yokai watch is a mediocre game, but its a great anime.

Its too situational to work well as a game, and since people played the dubbed crap that came out in america, they probably had very low impressions of it.

Start watching the anime, it's even better then pokemons long drawn on saga crap.

The Disney XD dub is enjoyable. Don't bother with the Asian English dub though, I hear the voice work is lazy as all hell.

This.

It's like they want to wear out their welcome before the next generation handheld comes out.
>>
>>25923575

I got news for you, but Yokai have become so commercialized and sold as toys and cartoon characters that it's almost impossible to tell what Yokai are actually from mythology and which ones were made up to get your dollary doos.
>>
>>25926671
see >>25923616
Plus it seems like the trailer for the 3rd game allows a bit more control, in that you can use the item cooldown to make a yokai do a certain attack
>>
>>25926692
It is the culture of the modern man.
The same as other urban legends.
>>
>>25926692
man those yokai toys are so cute. fuck it. i'm buying the red cat next time i see it.

I don't get you guys.

Why does one have to be a dedicated fan to something just to like it? I jump from game to game all the time just to have fun, just because I play a game in the series doesn't mean I have to play the rest, or earlier versions of them to like them.

I played Yokai watch, bought a Komasan plush, and one pack of medals. Thats more then enough for me, and i'll probably never continue the series.

But I still liked it.

i'll buy that one, too. it's cuter than most pokemon 2bh imo

The only difference between the two is Pokemon is more of a story driven series, and Yokai watch is more character driven.

Pokemon deals with a goal, getting 8 badges, rising to the top, and stopping bad guys and their nefarious plots along the way.

Yokai watch deals with a kid and his daily life and household chores with his friends and how their affected by Yokai.

Theres really no connections between the two, so calling it a pokemon killer is really misinformation.
>>
>>25926780

I don't dislike Yokai Watch because im a pokemon fan.

I like Digimon plenty, and think Monster Rancher is interesting. There's not a competition just because they're similar.

I dislike Yokai Watch because it's super niche and the monster designs are dumb, and the dialogue in the anime is just weird poor attempts at humor.

Not everyone hates things just for being similar to another thing, sometimes they hate things for their own merits even though it's similar to something they like.
>>
>>25926864
>>25926831
try telling that to the masses. People with legitimate complaints/comments are often washed away in the mass of shitposting the likes that have never been seen since Pokemon and Digimon butted heads in the 90s

I wonder...
does anyone want to talk about the games?

I do but I just wanna play 3, busters, and the three kings game they have coming out soon

So most of the concept huh

>>25927056
yes but i haven't played them

When do we get our Pokemon with a Kaiju coat of paint? I don't mean pokemon that look like Kaiju i'm talking catch collect and battle literal building sized kaiju.
>>
>>25923274
These games are really called sushi and tempura. No fan of this flop franchise can ever come for Pokémon holy shit
>>
>>25927137
I would not object to a Kaiju based mon series.

>>25923606
It totally is

Just watch the damn anime and you'll come to love the Yokai. Even the ugly ones are awesome.

Also, Yokai IN AMERICA.
