True

>>32420633
>>We want the Yo-kai Watch audience
Yo-kai Watch 1and 2 are pretty good senpai

Why does Ash do the psychic Z-move with Mimey instead of the electric one with Pikachu?
And why does Jessie do the normal one? Is it for Bewear or Meowth?

>we want our competitors audience

Yeah welcome to business you neckbeard shut in this is how shits done

>>32420808
I fucking hate that Pokémon is a business, it didn't start out as one

>>32420816
It was a business as soon the Pokemon craze started

Having a viable competitor really scared the shit out of them, didn't it?

>>32420633

I hate mr. mime design... I want punch it so badly

>>32420633
Better than the puni chan ending.
Fuck off.

>>32420827
Shut up nigger, it was a business before even that; I'm not saying you weren't correct to call him a shut-in neckbeard, I was mere commenting how I hate that it's so much more than a philosophy

>>32420831
I'm just sad that we never got Z because of some crappy slice of life anime about a dead cat and his friends everyone forgotten about even in Japan itself.

>>32420874

The anime was Z, Zygarde got a whole arc centered around it

>>32420801

The old one had Ash dancing with Pikachu and doing the poses for Fire, Electric, Ghost, and Fighting.

The new ED starting from EP24 replaced those scenes with Lillie, Ash, and the Rockets doing the poses for Ice, Poison, Psychic, and Normal.

>>32420633

It is actually a Persona 4 Dancing All Night reference

One of the main characters of Yokai Watch is a ghost of a cat that got run over by a car.

>Saw these at the Dollar Store recently.

This shit is so dead in the West. Spain and France seem to be the only non-Japan countries that like this crap. Its fanboys are reduced to making threads like this one too.

They're not exactly desperate for views.

Yo-kai Watch has fallen so hard that more people in Japan watch Curious George than it.

Check out YW's 2015 merchandise sales vs. its 2017 forecast in Japan. It's 100% old meme from 2014/2015.

YW is a franchise that won't survive the death of the 3DS; I will be shocked if it's a relevant series on the Switch.

>>32421953
Thank god, I'm glad that shit was just a passing fad.

This whole "YW is killing us so we need to turn into YW" meme is so hopelessly stale and easily debunked it's a wonder anyone still buys into that tripe.

>>32420874
Or we never got Z because a start of a generation is way more marketable as an anniversary title and GF said back in fucking 2013 they were done with Kalos and were going to do something else to expand on XYs story, which was ORAS and SM

>>32420831
>scared them
Sure, if you're one of those impressionable faggots who fell for sensationalistic reporting that created a misleading "YW is the Pokemon killer" narrative.

>>32420683
Yeah which is why YW's ratings started falling off a cliff during the later part of XY, right?

>everyone shitting on YW ITT

I- I liked those games

>>32421857
Thanks for the explanation.

>>32421884
I wish my dollar store had those. I still need Tattletale.

>>32424311
I tried to play the games but the auto battles bores me

>watching the ashnime
Are you underage or just stupid?

>>32424359
There is quite a lot of input required once you start facing stronger enemies, especially in YW2

>>32424359
Theres actually more activity in battle with it than pokemon, its just not as obvious

>>32424311
>I- I liked those games
me too

>>32420633
YW has been dead since 2015 but I'm curious why the Pokémon fandom still hates it so much...Could it be you guys are a little insecure? At some point the YW vs Pokémon hatred was almost as bad as the consolewar faggotry from /v/.

>>32424311
First game was alright with a lot of room to grow, 2 just added more shit and hindered the charm of the original by taking more elements from the anime, 3 looks like it actually grows some in gameplay but I haven't played it to make sure and I hear the atmosphere and such is further ruined by basically becoming exactly like the anime in tone

I hope Inazuma Eleven Ares and Megaton Musashi turn out good because Yo-kai Watch just doesn't really capture me and Snack World just doesn't even look appealing

>>32424728
Its just another "I hate X because its a """ripoff""" of Pokemon "

>>32424361
I post on 4chan's Pokémon board.

>>32420831
Working list of would be "Pokémon killers" through the years. If anyone knows of any I'm missing please let me know.

Digimon 1997-2000† Still gets some decent video games, but the craze is long over

Yu-Gi-Oh 1999-2004† TCG still popular worldwide, but a shadow of its former self. The video games are a joke now. The anime arcs somehow keep getting worse, it's a miracle they keep producing it at all.

Beyblade 2001-2004† The spinning tops are discontinued last I checked. The anime has been dead since Bush Jr's first term. It seems the franchise still exists, but it isn't on the radar at all anymore.

Duel Masters 2002-2006† Card game was discontinued in the west by WoTC in 2006, but the franchise is still alive in Japan. More of a Yu-Gi-Oh competitor than Pokémon, but does feature battling monsters.

Bakugan 2007-2012† Dead and burried

>SWING YOUR ARMS FROM SIDE TO SIDE!

>>32424823
>Digimon
Problem Sleuth is actually very well made.

>Yu-Gi-Oh
Literally a clusterfuck. I don't know what happened and I collected cards religiously.

>Beyblade
Why and how did this get popular

>Duel Masters
Oh fuck that was actually a good show.

>Bakugan
Can anyone tell me what the fuck that was

Also you forgot that uhh... Oh yeah, you forgot Cubix I think.

>>32421953
Kinda sad to see Digimon sells less than that shit despite the increase this year.

>>32424823
though a couple may not have stood a chance, a couple I can think of that tried were Fighting Foodums and Cubix.

Fossil Fighters also exists but its owned by Nintendo so I dont know if it counts. There was also the Zatch Bell anime to a lesser extent and Telefang and Robopon.

A few of the above were mostly just trying to cash in on the craze over actively kill off Pokemon though.

>>32424823
Beyblade is still shilled regularly on Oha Suta the same day as Pokemon though.

>>32424311
Who's the "everyone" saying they're bad games? A bunch of people here made no comment on their quality and instead critically assessed the dubious claim that Yokai was ever a Pokemon killer. Pro tip: It wasn't a Pokemon killer, and it probably won't ever be.

>>32424847
Yo-Kai Watch had full marketing all year, Digimon only ramped up with Appmon starting in October which is why there was a much larger amount of money made in the second half.

not sure what gash is but okay.

>>32424895
Zatch Bell or Gash Bell in Japan, that anon doesn't think of it as a Pokemon Killer, it was a decent anime and wonderful manga.

A Pokemon killer? Couldn't tell since I don't remember it having a lot of games

Reminder that Pokemon wasn't part of the national line up

>>32425145
I bet by 2020 nobody is going to know who that Yokai is.

I guess Dinosaur King never existed, and was nothing but a weird dream I had back in 2008...

>>32424823

card game was balls but the anime was the greatest thing ever, one of the best parodies I've seen
