Why did they leave Pokemon out? What did they mean by this?

>>32515074
They found out that Member HB created his shill fakemons with money to kill Ballio and Roothoot

>>32515074
Because Pokémon is too international to be solely considered a "Japanese product" anymore.

It's like the U.S. and superheroes. Superheroes have transcended it's basic U.S. audiences and are not international icons.

>>32515074
only from that lineup - there is a pikachu tokyo 2020 promo, as well as a mario

>>32515161
One Piece, Naruto, Shin-chan, Dragon Ball and Precure deserve this. The rest don't.

>>32515175
>implying Sailor Moon doesnt deserve this.

Nigga SM is one of the biggest anime franchises out there an one of the titles that made manga and anime popular outside of Japan

>>32515187
Was. Just was. Precure is far more popular and BETTER Sailor Moon than Sailor Moon.

>>32515191
Is. Still is. Guess you werent paying much attention recently

>>32515074
Obviously Nintendo isn't included in this, we already know that Mario & Pikachu are included in the 2020 promotions. Strange that Sanrio & Doraemon are not included in this image though.

What is Yo-Kai Watch?

>>32515196
Sailor Moon Crystal was a potato anon. A successful, well animated potato, but a potato nonetheless.

>>32515074
Probably because of business.issues between tpci and the comittee. Then again, the selection is weird as it features the then current cures and pretty cure changes every year so by the time of the actual competition those two will be old. Alredy are if i'm not mistaken.

Also, yokai watch is weird if its true level 5 abandoned it.

>>32515090
You could say the same about goku and sailor moon.

>>32515231
And? That doesnt stop its popularity, the merchandise is going out like crazy non-stop since 2012, musicals, anime re-release all over the world and they've just announced the 25th annivesary of SM and more Crystal. Its not going to end anytime soon

>>32515175
>not sailor moon
>not astroboy
The only thing separating you from an edgelord was including naruto and goku but you're definitely a pleb.

>>32515237
>popularity
If that's what you're going on, then all of those, and a lot of other shit like Doraemon should be on the list.

>>32515251
Sure,sure.

They did choose the most iconic franchises in Japan that are also very popular worldwide. Simple as that

TPCi did not pay to shill their series

>>32515074
pokemon is for autists

>>32515074
Pokémon is too patrician to be with the pleb.

>>32515074
>no Kirito
>no Gay men!! on Ice
>no Monster Hunter
>no JoJo
This list doesn't reflect popularity. It's just whoever paid the most.

>>32515270
Who releases level 5 games?

>>32515277
Also the vast majority of the shows there are Toei/Bandai franchises.

>>32515284
Level-5. Nintendo publishes plenty of shit for third parties in the west, but Level-5 very much stands on their own in Japan and are trying to act more on their own elsewhere.

>>32515290
Still, they have pretty obvious connections with Nintendo and Yo-Kai Watch is one of Nintendo franchises

>>32515299
Connections with Nintendo don't = Nintendo

>>32515279
The first two are popular with the otaku fanbase in japan and with the anime fanbase elsewhere. Mh with video games fanbase. They arent even close to the level of mainstream recognition the ones they did use had.

Jojo, while bigger than those three, is also not even close to db, shinchan or naruto, specially with kids. And outside japan its mostly known by the anime fanbase. If I ask the normies I know about the characters in op's pic, jibanyan and the cures would be the only three no one would recognize.

>>32515074

Are you retarded?

People pay for sponsorships. Those all were chosen by the companies that paid, nothing more or less.

>Hurr, why wasn't something advertised that didn't pay for an ad?

>>32515074
because these all started as mangas/anime

pokemon was left out becuase it started as a game

>>32515317
The first two are still leagues more popular than Yokai Watch and Precure. And Monster Hunter being a video games doesn't mean anything. Video games are on this list. Less popular ones.

>>32515279
Yeah, not even Dragon Quest is there. Fucking Dragon Quest.

>>32515161
If all of those are shit, why isn't Pokemon amongst them?

>>32515259

Are you trolling? You can't possibly think many on that list are more popular or known globally than fucking Pikachu.

Representatives are chosen by paying companies, not popularity. Don't be retarded, pretending or not.

>>32515324
Yokai watch is the closest thing pokemon had to a competitor.

And you clearly have no clue about anime if you think fujoshit and a self insert fantasy are more popular than a big franchise for little girls. Kids/family franchises are almost always the more popular ones. As seen in the pic.

>>32515139
>there is a pikachu tokyo 2020 promo
May I have some sauce on this? Was it the same one we saw from the brazillian closing ceremony? I don't really remember seeing a pikachu there. Mario was present tho

>>32515232
It's not that it isn't abandoned, but they did start a new Multimedia franchise (snack world) that is planned to surpass the series popularity. Plus they're still releasing YW2 games over here, with another one coming over in late 2017.
>>32515319
YW started as vidya as well, though it mostly took off once the anime was launched.

>>32515345
Not going to argue any further, because there's no argument to be had here, but just giving you a piece of advice. Lurking on fucking /v/ will get you more accurate information on anime than the shit coming out of your asshole of a mouth.

>>32515161
>Shin Chan
Where do you come from? All SE Asia knows Shin Chan, perhaps a few immigrants who are now PR in your countries.

I wonder if they regret yokai watch since the fad is dying.

>>32515421
It is? Poor thing! I enjoy YW. Waiting for 3 to get localized too.

>>32515379
>Not going to argue any further, because there's no argument to be had here, but just giving you a piece of advice. Lurking on fucking /v/ will get you more accurate information on anime than the shit coming out of your asshole of a mouth.
One'd thinkbthe actual anime board would be better than a board that isnt anime. Even then, both are western conmunities, not japanese ones.


I like how you say you have no argument but also say i'm wrong without saying exactly why.

>>32515479
You're asking for an argument why a show for little girls is not as popular as shows that became mainstream and literally everyone from the age of 12 and above knew about them? And then you're surprised someone thinks you're too stupid and ignorant to argue against?

>>32515277

>You're asking for an argument why a show for little girls is not as popular as shows that became mainstream and literally everyone from the age of 12 and above knew about them?
And you think people above 12 dont know about precure why? The girls that were 12 when the original aired are 25 now. The other two are fairly popular shows but within the anime fanbase which, mind you, doesnt comprise the entirety of japan. They picked precure for a reason. Yuri on ice is literally flavor of the season(there's plenty of of those and that season is over) and sao is barely above that. They seem more popular to you because you probably interact more with the western fanbase.....if you do at all since you dont know what fots is.

>And then you're surprised someone thinks you're too stupid and ignorant to argue against?
If you're gonna claim the intelectual high ground you have to own that, dont say i'm wrong without not saying why and, specially, not saying you have no argument in the first place.

>>32515339
Because of the same reason Anpanman and Doraemon aren't there. They are too childish and cute for a sports' image. And those 3 anime have more weight in Japan than YW inside the 0-6 years old target, however, toddlers and youngest children aren't potential market for the olympics

>>32515299

You're retarded.

>>32515577

And Yokai Watch isn't childish?

No kidding; more Japs watch Curious George than YW at this point.

>>32515647
Less childish tan Pokemon for sure. Lvl 5 got its way with sexual innuendos and pop culture references a lot in that anime

>>32515231
>Sailor Moon Crystal
>well animated
Wow, anon, buy some glasses.

>>32516299
Hey the 3rd season bucked the shit up ok

>>32515074
Are the witches just supposed to represent Precure in General? They are already out of date, they're gonna be super out of date by the Olympics.

>>32515668
Mind you that it was the best SM has done so far, it usually hovers around 9th-10th place or disappears from the top 10 altogether.
