How does /vp/ feel about Jibunyan being chosen over Pikachu for 2020?

To be fair: yokai is a lot more popular right now.
It's still 3 years away so things could still change.

Their decision was rushed. Yo-kai Watch is dying because of how much Level-5 have milked the franchise. Only time will tell if Jibanyan and co. endure the passage of time

Stupid, cause EVERYONE knows who Pikachu is over this cat.

In 2020, your mom and my mom are both still going to know Pikachu's name, and still won't have any idea what a Jibbinyan is.

This. Even though Pikachu isn't doing so hot, Jibanyan and Yokai Watch are already a dying fad.

As much as I personally dislike Pikachu, its name rolls off the tongue better. It's also more well-known.

Only in Japan. Elsewhere, it's not close.
