>we want the yokai audience
how do u fell?
>>26567784
The ultimate Yo-kai watch destroyer, get fucked kiddies.
But anon he chose Rowlet.
>>26567784
GameFreak not even subtle about it ;) kek
>>26567784
Mega digivolution wasn't enough, they have to resort to copying Yokai Watch too? Pathetic.
And Brokemons will defend this.
will the next game copy yugioh
Why is Yokai Watch so popular though? The designs are utter garbage.
>>26567906
Tcg exists
>>26567857
>two games that take inspiration from pokemon
>its somehow bad when pokemon does it back
>>26567906
god I hope so
>>26567784
What audience haha
Hey if yo-kai watch mean GF will actually try new shit because of a bit of competition instead of being a stale monopoly I'm all for it.
>>26567784
HOLY SHIT IT'S NOT EVEN SUBTLE
>>26567784
I'll probably stop playing when they'll confirm synchros. I'm so buttdevastated at SM so far, and I'm one of the few autits who enjoyed XY.
>>26567979
>and I'm one of the few autits who enjoyed XY.
That's because you have shit taste.
>Ash: "Quick, Rotom! Whose that Pokemon!??
>Rotom: Its errr- gimme a second! *turns away from camera*
>Ash: Hey do you even know?
>Rotom: Of course! Its...cat...neko...aha! That Pokemon is Meowth!
>>26567906
That would legitimately be preferable.
>>26567784
It's so painfully obvious that I'm cringing, my hope for these games is deflating with every update. I love the comfy region and starters but holy shit, I can't handle hand-holding on this level.
>>26567932
>/vp/ only shows you the worst designs, and none of the good ones
It has better graphics than X and Y, the show is very popular with kids and adults, it has fun and different gameplay from the norm, and the mascots are cute and fun.
That my anon is why people in Japan like it so much.
>>26567958
the audience that is getting the second game to be localized apparently.
I was more of a Yokai-watch fan anyway
I actually like Yo-Kai Watch 1 better than Or/As
>>26568163
I don't even like YW that much and I liked it more than ORAS. At least I could stand to finish Yokai Watch, ORAS killed my enthusiasm for Pokemon entirely for a while there. I've heard that the second game fixes a lot of the problems with the first, so I'm hopeful.
As for S/M, I just hope it's not as hand-holdy as it's looking right now.
>>26567835
Retard
>>26568304
Look at the new jap trailers. He uses Rowlet now. The girl uses Litten though.
>>26568163
Complete opposite for me. YW was neat but ORAS got me back in after XY just sorta felt like "Okay I'm done, time to wait for next gen".
Also people complaining about Pokemon trying to appeal to kids is hilarious.
Fine by me.
>>26568084
>better graphics than XY
love this meme
>>26568084
I sure hope it plays nothing like it does in the demo because that shit bored me to tears.
>>26568328
>Didn't even hold it into the air with pride and confidence in his choice
That Rowlet is getting wonder traded
>>26567784
Thanks for making this comparison, OP.
I'm going to name my Litten Jibanyan now.
When I get Jibanyan in YW3 I'm going to name it litten.
>>26567857
Japan doesn't call the final Digimon form Mega though, that's western only.
Nobody except you retards trying to start shit gives a flying fuck. Is it hard to enjoy both and not freak out over stupid shit?
>>26568830
This.
Why can't you fags just stop. Both are nice series'. I don't know if you all realize this, but it's possible to like two different things of the same genre.
>>26568830
>>26568866
I genuinely like both games (along with Digimon, YGO and some other shit to boot; I'm a proxy battle fag), but I'm not blind to the fact that there are suddenly a ton of similarities in the new game to an extant and fairly dissimilar franchise (beyond the monster-collecting aspect, they really aren't that similar.)
I want these games to be good but it's hard to be optimistic.
>>26568436
The demo is considered hit by everyone. Go ask /vg/ and it's in their header
>>26567932
> Why is Pokemon so popular though? The designs are utter garbage.
>>26569161
Shit.
I mean shit.
>>26569173
Trubbish, Garbodor and several other gen 5 pokemon really were Yokai tier garbage.
>>26568830
>>26568866
Calm down, guys. No one here said that the two can't coexist.
But think it's understandable that Game Freak want to take profit of this. This is capitalism
>>26569173
>>26569208
>shitting on pokemon designs
A reminder to get a load of this and be grateful for what you have
Just about all of today's feature annoucements are in Yo-kai Watch, it's kinda amusing
>>26569228
There he is. There he goes again. Look, everyone! He posted it once again! Isn’t he just the most clever guy around?! Oh my God.
I can almost see your pathetic overweight frame glowing in the dark, lit by your computer screen which is the only source of light in your room, giggling like a like girl as you once again type your Youkai Watch and fill in the captcha. Or maybe you don’t even fill in the captcha. Maybe you’re such a disgusting NEET that you actually paid for a 4chan pass, so you just choose the picture. Oh, and we all know the picture. The “terrible” Youkai Watch designs, isn’t it? I imagine you little shit laughing so hard as you click it that you drop your Doritos on the floor, but it’s ok, your mother will clean it up in the morning. Oh, that’s right. Did I fail to mention? You live with your mother. You are a fat fucking fuckup, she’s probably so sick of you already. So sick of having to do everything for you all goddamn day, every day, for a grown man who spends all his time on 4chan posting about fucking Youkai Watch. Just imagine this. She had you, and then she thought you were gonna be a scientist or an astronaut or something grand, and then you became a NEET. A pathetic Youkai Watch hating NEET. She probably cries herself to sleep everyday thinking about how bad it is and how she wishes she could just disappear. She can’t even try to talk with you because all you say is “I REALLY REALLY HATE YOUKAI WATCH DESIGNS.” You’ve become a parody of your own self. And that’s all you are. A sad little man laughing in the dark by himself as he prepares to indulge in the same old dance that he’s done a million times now. And that’s all you’ll ever be.
>>26569239
You do know that secret bases used QR codes right?
Another case of YW copying pokemon.
>>26568084
I've watched the anime, and can't say I care for it, though my 2 year old seems to like it. I've looked up the designs and most of them look like garbage, also there's so many cats. Can't speak for the game though as I've never played it.
>>26569173
I'm not saying all Pokémon designs are amazing, but maybe only 5% can be called garbage, whereas with Yokai it's about 90%. And why are there so many copy pasted cats?
>inb4 pika clones and genies
>>26569395
A Jibanyan is made when a car runs over a cat. People of Springdale are lousy drivers. Do the math.In actuality Japan also tends to run over cats pretty often. They're the equivalent of raccoon/opposum roadkill
Marketing wise he's just popular and Japan likes cats I guess.
>>26568084
The games are literally phone-tier.
Absolutely no gameplay, no skill required.
Youkai Watch games are extremely mediocre and targeted exclusively to kids.
The game sold poorly before the anime aired and the audience is going down already.
Youkai Watch offers no reason for players to return to the games once they grow up.
The franchise as a whole has an expiry date, unlike Pokemon.
>>26569452
I understand where the concept comes from, I'm just saying it's kinda lazy on their part for coming up with new designs.
>>26567857
or maybe you're just retarded
> Syncro-evos
>>26569452
You nailed it.
Youkai Watch is the product of market research, that's how Jibanyan was born.
There's no love or creativity on YW, it marks the demise of Level 5 as a company, but that's another story.
>>26569292
You didn't go around and scan random QR codes in ORAS though.
They're specifically marketing this feature as going around the real world and scanning QR codes to see what Pokemon you find hiding, which given what are Pokemon makes no sense at all, whereas it made perfect sense for Yokais who are all ghosts hiding in the real world lorewise
>>26569247
>Being this mad
You are breathing manually.
>>26569527
That's no syncro evo.Keita just died and became a Yo-kai, just like everyone else
>>26569499
seems to be enough gameplay to warrant sequel, 2 spinoffs, a third game with a relatively different battle system, and cause frustration
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akGG95qnRpo
>>26569555
I thought Jibanyan was born because Hino actually went through a traumatic experience of trying to adopt a stray cat (despite parent's wishes) and when he came back it got ran the fuck over.
>>26569292
to be fair, the first game that came out (1, 2013) had the QR scan features longer before Pokemon implemented ORAS secret bases (2014)
>>26569726
>seems to be enough gameplay to warrant sequel
No gameplay.
The games are sold by the anime, gameplay is still the same chance garbage that plays itself.
The real question is how good will Rotom-P be
froggy>spiderboithey are both cute though
>>26569882
pls stop this meme anon
It's not supposed to be an RPG where battles are deicded from selecing from a menu, the challange comes from working out the boss weakness and team managment in real time.
You're not going to get anywhere if you just do nothing, even generic battles will kick your ass
>>26569597
It helps promote the tcg. Every pack box and tin comes with a qr code to scan into the tcgo.
>>26567932
kids liking shit that manchildren doesnt play
>>26570389
>promoting tcg
Huh. This is a first time cards and game are being tied like that. I hope this is for both and not a sign for a transition...
>>26570389
Plus the inevitable Rotom Pokedex toy
>>26568084
Copying the cat 10 different times isn't good design, though.
>>26569452
>>26569504
The creator made Jibanyan to help children understand death and coping much easier.
If you seriously think that making Jibanyan clones take away from adding new monsters than you're truly stupid.
>>26570564
>what is the E-reader
>>26571039
Came here to post this, but the answer is "a failed experiment"
>>26571039
never heard of it
I, for one, welcome our new Yokai overlords. The more cues Pokemon take from YW, the better. The first game was really refreshing and I'm certainly looking forward to the sequels.
>>26567906
nah, they already did it with zekrom and reshiram
>>26569948
I wonder if it will even be usable in battles.
If so, I'm predicting Electric/Steel. If it keeps Levitate this shit's going to be what Magnezone always wanted to be.
>>26568304
>>26568328
>Team Aqua shirt
HOENN REMAKES CONFIRMED!
>>26569247
you need a hobby
I don't know how any of you can see this as anything other than depressing as fuck. Game Freak seemed to have designed Sun/Moon purely to counteract Yokai Watch. Are they honestly that afraid of a little competition? Have they lost that much faith in their own ideas that they have to resort to copying off the current successful games? I'm usually the first one to give GF a chance and laugh at Genwunners crying that they've run out of ideas, but with shit like this I just might start believing it myself and that both scares and saddens me.

Talking Pokemon confirmed...?
>>26567784
I really hope they are just doing this as an indirect middlefinger. All those 20th anniversary events from back in February completely BTFO'd the absolute fuck out of any relevancy Yokai-Trash ever had
I autismically imagine pokemon being a big experienced dragon that has gotten a bit out of touch, then Yokai being a tiny noob dragon thinking it can take pokemon's place. Yokai kept annoying pokemon until he threw out the big guns, completely One-Punching the shit out of Yokai
>>26567784
I fell rike your engrish is tellibre.
>>26567784
Copying each other is how genres improve and evolve.
>>26568436
The demo was shit. Get the game used from SpaghettiStop and just play it. It's a pretty fun game, simple, only as much handholding as you want, return in 7 days if you don't like it.
>>26569228
That lotus snake is pretty cute tho
>>26567818
This is what happens when you dare to draw pokemon's ire.
>>26567906
I cast Polymerization to fuse my Kyrem, Comet Dragon of Ice with my Zekrom, Idealistic plasma Dragon to summon...
BLACK ICE COMET DRAGON!
