What went right?

What went right?

My younger brother is obsessed with this shit and minecraft fnaf roleplays.

Shotas

you mean it actually got big out here?

The series is great and funny but they pushed it too hard to be a Pokemon killer and now no one cares about it.

No. It failed hard. That's good

so what makes this different from poke- or digimon?

The yokai are cute/cool, but its' battle and capture stuff are nothing like pokemon.

Viz also thinks hiveswap is the telltale killer, they just shoot at random

Has any game conceived as a franchise killer actually successfully mange to kill the other franchise?

Is that the Uganda Knuckle?

>Level-5 spent years on this series when they could have been making muh Dark Cloud 3
It deserved to bomb.

And no Rogue Galaxy is NOT Dark Cloud 3.

This. It's a pathetic mindset and marketing stunt that ondulges mediocrity.

it was something fresh and new.
and collecting monsters is always fun.
too bad they pushed too hard and the media being fags going "pokemon killer"

>The better loli game doesnt wins
Sasuga

Notice how everyone in the media and all of Level-5's partners like Viz say it'll be the Pokémon killer, yet level5 refuses to compare it to Pokémon because it's different?

Viz is the only one losing from this deal. L5 already is getting money from their latest total war clone with yokai on mobile

>tfw nobody in the US has played Yokai Watch and pokefags hate it because of religious brand loyalty to a franchise that hasn’t been good since 2010
>they proceed to bombard it with bad reviews out of spite and scare away people who were on the fences
>tfw a strongly decent franchise died before it got a chance to realize its full potential

Pokémon fans are truly awful, aren’t they?

>be in japan in 2014 during the 'height of its success'
>Kids don't really care that much outside the tv show and are playing Pokemon XY
>young adults also playing XY

When I asked my friend if it was a "craze" he said that was laughable. Said it was more like digimon and most people only knew it from that stupid youtube song about poop.

>WoW
>Halo
>CoD
>TF2
>Pokemon
Now that I think about it, every game/series that inspires a ton of "killers" ends up killing itself.

I thought it was pretty good.
it's like a single step up in difficulty from Pokemon. The postgame bosses were well done.
fuck the grind to catch rare yokai though. If they revamped the system I would still play it but it's torture right now.

Why did retards seriously say this would kill Pokemon? If you actually downloaded the demo and played it for 15 minutes you'd realize the combat is fucking boring.

>Pokémon fans are truly awful, aren’t they?
Well, they have their own containment board for a reason.

Pokémon is still alive and well, sadly enough.

I actually thought Sun and Moon’s E4 was hard, but that might have been my team layout being shit

The gameplay is pretty fun later on but Pokémon fans tend to have ADD so w/e

/vp/ isn't a containment board, hence why you're allowed to make pokemon threads on Sup Forums

in fact it's the opposite. pokemon was so popular on Sup Forums that they had to make a separate board.

>it gets good 20 hours in!!!!!!!!!
Yokai Watch is garbage, fatass.

t. butthurt diginigger/yokaiflop

I hope YW3 gets localized this year.

NOOOOOOOOO IT'S NOT FAIR Sup Forums SAID SUN AND MOON WOULD FLOP NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>nobody in the US has played Yokai Watch and pokefags hate it because of religious brand loyalty to a franchise that hasn’t been good since 2010
>>they proceed to bombard it with bad reviews out of spite and scare away people who were on the fences
Source

More like 1 and a half hours in.

Seriously, did you even fight any of the bosses?

my little brother was obsessed with the game, show and toys along with his friends for a while. now they dont give a fuck about it. im sure its the same with that age group as well.

I downloaded the demo.

I played the demo.

The demo was shit.

There is no reason for me to not like the demo then buy the full game.

IT WAS HER TURN

I don’t. I do hope BASED GF announces Ultra Red and Ultra Green for the Nintendo Switch this year, however. I cannot wait to pay 140 dollars to play the same game for the 9th and 10th time

I honestly could not stand Yokai Watch. I played it and absolutely hated it. It was just so damn boring. I like pokemon enough, but I'm tired of its same old thing every game, and when I tried Yokai Watch I was hoping for something different, which I got, but little did I know it would be the boring as shit kind of different. I'm honestly not surprised it did so shit outside of Japan.

It’s pretty unanimously agreed the YW demo is shit, just like any other demo

Pirate it FFS

>Pirate it FFS
not him but thats what I did. Game's still boring as shit. Not even worth the short time it took to download it in my opinion.

>implying
Not him and I don't give one shit about those series, but he's right. Pokémon hasn't tried to make a truly great game since the fucking turn of the century, and it hasn't bothered to make a good one since 2010. After the last three generations you'd have to be a literal manchild to still have any hope for the series.

Ok? Punching down at a game you’ve never actually played is still shitty practice.

You’re entitled to your opinion though, even though I strongly disagree
Something about Yokai Watch makes me feel like a kid again despite not having much nostalgia for it, which is something Pokemon hasn’t been able to do

I thought S/M and X/Y were enjoyable, but they were too easy and too short. I miss when Pokémon games really felt like an adventure, and I think that the reason people love Gen 5 so much is that it pulled off that scope and feel really well

I just fucking love the designs so much. It fills me with joy even if i didn't watch a single episode of the show. It looks like something i would have watch as a kid.

pokemon is honestly better than ever

>Pokemon: Japanese Folklore Edition will be the next hottest thing worldwide, claims Nobody

We posting Brokai?

Favorite Digimon and Pokémon also strongly encouraged for those of you who hate YW for whatever reasons

>created to surpass pokemon
>anime does better than the pokemon anime for a year and then dies

What annoyed me was that the first game was 100% "Eat your hamburger, Apollo". I didn't have it, but the whole "Totally Not Japan" really started to get on my nerves.

>Ok? Punching down at a game you’ve never actually played is still shitty practice.
I literally just said I pirated it faggot. I played the fucking game, its not good. I know its hard for an autist like you to understand, but it fucking shit. Pokemon is shit at this point too after pretty much releasing the exact same game for years now.

It wasn’t created to surpass anything. If LBX is anything to go by it’s more of a love letter to monster collecting games and folklore just as LBX was a love letter to Gunpla

>fucking love Pokemon
>fucking love Japanese folklore
>hate the gameplay, art style and writing

Damnit.

I was talking about the nigger who played the demo instead of pirating it my man

character is ugly
even gundam still have cuter animal

Then why reply to someone who literally isn't them you fucking retard

Sorry, I didn’t mean to push your buttons

Waifus

indie games are picking up where Paper Mario, 2D Zelda, etc have dropped the ball.

When are we getting a good pokemon spiritual successor?

Sadly GF has the market cornered. Pokémon fans are kind of idiots and take brand loyalty very seriously

I just want to play the third one

pokeblunderfag on suicide watch yet again. How can one "man" be wrong about everything?

I like the NEET bat.

He's the Yokai possessing me.

Or maybe because it's competition is awful?

We haven't gotten a based Monster Rancher game in years, Digimon World is meh, Digimon Cyber Sleuth was so-so but I heard the sequel is a huge improvement, and Yokai Watch is garbage.

>after being inside his house so long he fused with it

/ouryokai/

No. It's because YW and Digimon are legitimately terrible.

they've basically fucked the monster catching genre.

people refuse to buy DQM games because pikachu isn't in it, which means it stays japan only.

No it's because the evolution system in DQM is pants on head retarded

>What went right?

Not you, OP.

>It can't be because YW sucks major ass

It's hard to buy it when Square Enix won't localise it. I want to buy Rocket Slime 3 and Dragon Quest Monsters 3 but Square won't bring them over.

YW2 is better than US and UM

it's so weird to me that we don't get mountains of indie pokemon ripoffs.
We get a metric truckload of uninspired platformers, minecraft clones, Amnesia clones, etc. every year but nobody to my knowledge has even made even a crappy ripoff of pokemon.

Huh, I had no idea there were GF marketers on Sup Forums

HAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

>nobody to my knowledge has even made even a crappy ripoff of pokemon.

There's a billion of them on android/ios

YW's combat system is so stupid that it will never be better than even the worst pokemon games.

That's your opinion, and nothing more. Many don't share it.

Overwatch

Nigga I pirate Pokemon games, they're still much better than YWshit

there's a guy on Sup Forums making one.

Pretty sure he's gonna get his knees broken by ninteninjas before it ever releases though

so it's never going to come out and when it does it'll be a huge disappointment?

I think Yokai Watch has much better gameplay than modern Pokémon actually. Maybe I’ve just gotten tired of the basic RPG layout but I like how YW fights are in real time and need you to stay on point rather than just using whatever your opponent is weak to and switching out if you’re weak to them

YW's gameplay is by far the worst of all monster collecting games. Hell, it's the only one with outright bad gameplay, stuff like Digimon just has balance issues, the core gameplay is good.

Do you also think feces tastes like velvet cake?

Pokemon might have better multiplayer battles but as far as the singleplayer campaign goes there is no contest since Gamefreak is lazy as fuck.

>Dark Cloud 3
? wouldn't there need to be a 2 first?

Content is what you enjoy when the game itself is enjoyable.

YW is so shit that it can have 3000 hours worth of content but no one wants to play it

Cool and epic argument my man

That looks great, damn

Platformers are scare fests are easy to make. Most indies are super small projects that can be beaten in an afternoon, you don't see many indie RPGs.

remember when pokebarneyfag said YW would overtake pokemon?

>And no Rogue Galaxy is NOT Dark Cloud 3.
and Dark Chronicle isn't Dark Cloud 2 just because you Americans slapped that title on there.

Yeah because you definitely keep up with that many communities. "I saw a thing once about X, shit game." or you played in the past and don't know what the fuck you're talking about. ain't even defending half franchises are shit, but you'd have to have 0 life at all to keep up at a not retarded level with that many communities... Versus reading headlines and thinking you're informed. When will Sup Forums stop sucking ben & jerry's from between their toes for clout within a board full of poodangles.

I want another LBX game myself, adored the 3DS one that came out a few years back

isn't YW's combat literally spinning a wheel
the game doesn't seem bad but it seems to be aimed even younger than pokemon

Only Halo is dead. The rest are killing themselves due to being past their prime or incompetence.

IT'S FUN THOUGH

YOU JUST HAVE TO KEEP PLAYING FOR 50 HOURS

This, we haven't gotten a Custom Robo game in a while and LBX fills that void.

Remember when people never gave a shit about attention whores and tripfags?

no

>imma finna just
>misrepresents opposing arguments with grossly over exaggerated strawmen

>the game doesn't seem bad but it seems to be aimed even younger than pokemon

Honestly, that's what is killing YW. Pokemon has a huge universal appeal while YW is specifically designed to be popular with children. Once it went out of style, franchise sales dropped like 60%.

The game LITERALLY plays itself
