2014: Yokai Watch's popularity explodes. Fans glad that

>Implying B2/W2 were bad

>>33545499
Yokai Watch is fun but doesn't have as much replay value as Pokemon does. It's a cute series, but not incredibly engaging, I think there was a lot of wasted potential there.

> that look lazier than B2/W2.

Make sure you sage OP's shitty bait when replying

>>33545499
SM was good

>>33545529
I'm pretty sure OP meant that it's lazy in comparison to BW2, not that BW2 were lazy and USUM worse.

Everything went back to normal. Yokai Watch is shit and should have never happened. If anything, it only made Pokémon worse. Z-Moves and Marshadow were clearly GF trying to steal back the Yokai Watch's audience.

Z-Moves don't resemble anything in Yokai Watch, and Marshadow's design also doesn't differ much from your standard mythical.

Don't make shit up. YW doesn't crack the top ten ratings in Japan anymore, and its merchandise sales are in free fall. It is 100% old meme from 2014/2015 in Japan.

>>33545746
I live in Japan and this is literally not a thing.

>>33545770
Lol at least it is in the list Even Digimon, Pokémon no hahaha

>Yokai Watch's popularity explodes.

In japan. It had absolutely no world wise appeal like pokemon did and the fact sequels kept coming out too fast.

>>33545782
So you don't love in japan

>>33545789

This, the monster designs are too "Japanese", and they shat games out too fast

>>33545794

>>33545703
Whisper was already stolen from Mystery Detective though.

>Rotom has been in the anime in Pokedex sections for almost a year before YW released
Eh. Why does this pic act like Rotom and it possessing things are new?

>>33545794
I do. It doesn't exist. Nice try though.

GameFreak assumed that, after "killing" Yokai Watch even though it was destined to die as a result of being a fad, that they could stop giving a shit until someone else pulls the rug under their feet.
And that'll NEVER happen unless Dragon Quest Monsters decides to start making yearly or bi-yearly releases.

>>33545784

It's a list of Bandai IPs only, retard.

>>33545813
I think is true, i saw it in 2ch

>>33545831
If a single random retard here says Hitler is alive and singing We Are The Champions in Indonesia tomorrow i'm not going to believe him.

idk if you are just memeing or the most retarded user in vp

>>33545532
This, but gen 2 was the best. Gen 7 is second best imo

>What happened
You all kept buying the fucking games even when GF puts literally 0 effort because of the circular reason that you all keep buying the games.
And it got worse since now there is *two* third versions rather than one to milk dumb 7 year olds and manchildren with too much cash in their hands of their money.

>>33545898
>>33545746
This right here. It's like saying "In the west, people call Rayquaza "Fug"".

>>33545979
Nah, Pokémon is owamon

>>33545990
Then go get a recording of at least fifty Japs calling it "Owamon" when asked what they think of Pokemon and I'll be inclined to believe you.

>>33545518
Implying the Pokémon games have replay value: Event Pokémon released at the same time that the games are released, average at best story, Trainers with low-levered and weak Pokémon everywhere, most of the time you must rely on weak-ass moves or moves running on your low offensive stat, forcing you to catch the Cover Legendary, etc. There's a reason why most people only care about Post-Game facilities.

>>33545979
....that isn't true???????

>>33546126
How do the people who care about postgame facilities feel about Game Freak pushing online battling as Pokemon's postgame?

>>33545515
They are, jesus, the denial fags.

>>33545584
>too autistic for cutscenes

>>33546159
Except online battling has always been the end game. Remember the "got to be the very best like no one every was"

>>33545888
This is how I feel, too.

>>33545892
Bandai probably does the toys.

>>33546195
>always
>online was only a thing starting with gen 4

That asiide, I meant at the expense of post-game facilities. Up until the end of Gen 5 Game Freak was still pretty good at delivering single player content. It was in Gen 6 where it started seeming like online was being used as an excuse to not add anything beyond a generic battle tower reskin.

>>33546233
Don't pretend to be a smart ass, you were supposed to link and participate in tournaments back then, idiot.

As someone who used to play Yo-Kai watch. While it was fun, it got old pretty quickly.

I even attempted the sequels but never finished.
