Works within the same genre copy each other all the time. It's how they improve and evolve.

>>26593887
At least that Pokemon is looking for some competition against Yokai Watch

yokai watch copied everything from pokemon first though

Plagiarism of a plagiarism. Woah.

And this is a bad thing because? I honestly really like the Rotom pokedex. I'm glad they're expanding the usage of the pokedex.

Ok, they are copying.

So what?

>>26593887
Did Yokai Watch ever take off in the USA? It didn't seem to in Europe. I played the demo but found it to be awful. I kind of liked the Yokai themselves and how they actually play a role in the world rather than just wander around in tall grass doing nothing, but the battle system didn't resonate with me. I also felt like playing it would leave one of those big ring-scratches in my touch screen like Elite Beat Agents and Ouendan did to my DS.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. If yokai watch's presence means gamefreak will try new things to stay fresh(hah) I'm not complaining.

The only resemblance I see is Whisper and Motisma-dex, both heroes look nothing alike and juste because Litten is a cat doesn't make it looks like Jibanyan

If anything, they finally have the competition they needed since Digimon is now a bit of a niche fandom.

>>26593887
The new Rotom will be just like Navi on The Legend of Zelda OoT, it will give tips on where you should go, what you should do, etc.

TL:DR: Game freak is casualising Pokémon even more.

I genuinely like Yokai Watch and am looking forward to the sequel

Your argument would make sense if it wasn't for the fact that Rotom and his ability to posses shit exists years ago

And the fact that the Pokedex is supposed to normally have a black stripe because it's mimicking a poke ball color scheme

Also keep in mind that Yo-Kai Watch didn't just suddenly exist last year

It's been in Japan for quite a fucking while

If Pokemon copied them, they would've done so already

works the other way around too. This is a competition of who can rip off who more. No originality period.
I think its mostly the black lining on the rotom dex where whisper comparisons come from

Rotom had a spike on its head before Whisper even existed, dumbass. And I guess Whisper must be a Blooper ripoff because they're both white, fat, with simplistic eyes and a black bar between their eyes.

So what you're saying is the function of the Pokedex (in every game since the original in 1996) is stolen from YW... just because it's combined with an electric entity whose base type is electric (not ghost) because it's original forme is part ghost-type?

Riiight. Gamefreak is totally stealing ideas from this shit competitor.

If it makes Gamefreak compete, improve and innovate their products instead of stagnate with an old formula, I couldn't give less of a shit. Competition always gets the best of each competitor, probably the Yokai-Watch franchise will innovate as well.

They all copied Megami Tensei anyways.

>>26595088
I really don't understand how anyone could think Diamond and Pearl were the best Gen.

Reminder when pokemon has no competition, Gamefreak assumes the competition is mobile gaming and we get ORAS.

>Gamefreak assumes the competition is mobile gaming and we get ORAS.
The problem is that the competition is YW a game more casual than a mobile game.
We'll probably end up with a gen 1 tier of easy game or a gen 4 game originality wise rather than one that tried to fix the majority of the mistakes and add new concepts.

>>26601675
Yeah. All the cancer going on about how Yokai Watch's popularity must force GF to up their game have clearly never played YW and don't realize that "upping their game as an answer to YW" means "dumbing Pokemon down even more to prevent kids from getting bored from the challenge"

>>26601675
>>26601694
Pokemon was never hard in the first place, I'd take the games being even easier if it ment them putting as much effort and charm into the game as L5 do

>>26601923
The people that say this are the people bitching about no battle frontiers in ORAS, though.
The Yokai Watch audience doesn't want a battle frontier in the first place.

Most of the "Pokemon" designs they ripped off were based on actual yo kai from Japanese mythology, and most of the yo kai that look similar to them are based off of the same thing.

TFW the worst Pokémon designs are better than the best YoKai designs

I also think GF took this concept, but they're in their right; Yokai already made an entire game """inspired""" off Pokémon.

Remember, when there is ANY other game with ANY, even the smallest, tiniest similarity to Pokemon /vp/ will attack it as a Pokemon ripoff or wannabe Pokemon killer. (See Yo-kai Watch, barely anything in common with Pokemon outside of monster collecting yet it's yielded as a copy of Pokemon)

Yet when Pokemon copies or does something similar to another franchise (And it has, OP Pic is just the most blatant in a while) It's Pokemon do no evil you're a retard get out of here!

It amuses me to no end the double standards people have here.

>>26602889
Just like how Pokemon was a game """inspired""" off Dragon Quest right?

If all your knowledge of YW didn't come from /vp/, you'd know that YW clearly takes more from DQM and SMT than Pokemon.
