>The only game since HGSS that lets Pokemon follow is a Kanto remake with only a little over 151 being able to follow you >Yo-kai Watch 2 and 3 let every single Yo-kai you befriend follow you. Up to 698 different choices.
Come on GameFreak, you're being upstaged by a company that clearly doesn't have its shit together
>698 Yokai all have unique attack animations, guarding animations, technique animations, inspirit animations, soultimate animations, walking and running animations, and four or five different victory poses >meanwhile in Let's Go the 153 pokemon can't even be assed to have attack animations
Grayson Green
how many bait threads are you gonna make? This is like the fourth one you made today
Nolan Butler
He just wants to discuss the game m8, Yea Forums just don't care about the franchise tho a real shame since the games are good.
>every single new pokemon game that comes out is met with "it's okay but there's literally no fucking postgame" >meanwhile YW3 has literally more content than every 3DS pokemon title put together
Joshua Martinez
Not everyone is playing Pokemon for the competitive I'm just saying the game play fucking shit, commanding your characters is RPGs 101
William Butler
keep in mind that pic related is pokemon's fanbase. they literally don't care about postgame. they'd still buy the games even if the credits rolled after they press start.
3's shitty gun is such a downgrade from poking the Yokai for affection in 2 Just let me fucking pick whether it goes into Friend Mode or Foe Mode so I don't have to stall for ten years for it to refresh until I get Friend Mode
I will say as someone who enjoys both 2 and 3, 2's pacing was overall much better. 3 feels like it can really drag on at certain parts, especially considering you don't get the actual Mirapo until chapter 5. Also having your story be cut between two characters where you don't merge until chapter 6 can have some drawbacks. I got Nate super fucking strong early on because of Blasters T, but Hailey was always struggling with shit, and I honestly think that's the reason her content is considerably easier, because she has less options.
Hailey gets more Yokai friends with Cupistol. And if you use QR codes to get coins you can have a much stronger team before chapter 6.
Are QR codes cheat codes? Should they be avoided until after you complete the 3 story?
Josiah Nguyen
sorry, i dont play fujomon
Noah Martin
If you're patient and know about him, you can get Snartle almost immediately as Hailey, all you need is to recruit one of those little pointy chestnut-looking dudes in Sparkopolis and use it, Treeter and Usapyon to inspirit spam him to death. It only took me like ten tries to actually recruit him even with no friendship ups.
Samuel Myers
>Are QR codes cheat codes? Nah, they're available to everyone from the get-go and getting good Yokai from coins is more of a luck of the draw than anything else. If you want to consider it cheating then go right ahead, you can also get the Yokai from the coins but only put them on your team when you unlock the Watch rank applicable (So if you get a B it "unlocks" B tier Crank-a-kai Yokai for you).
It's sort of like asking if Wonder Trade is cheating, ultimately it's your decision if it is or not because you can get good stuff from that as well.
Chase Sanders
there's like a million recolors in yokai watch dude don't get ahead of yourself. other than that though the franchise seems to be constantly improving with each iteration. wish I could say the same about pokemon
unfortunate that a few redditors decided it was cheating and got them all taken down
Nathan Russell
>Are QR codes cheating No.
Honestly the Yokai Watch Dream is so fucking busted that you can one-shot shit like Jibanyan S, before he can even do anything, and if you played Blasters T at all you'll have a Forbidden Fruit to use on him.
Ayden Cook
>there's like a million recolors in yokai watch dude Pokemon literally has recolors too, enough with the double standards.
Dominic Flores
but it's true that bombarding a game with content isnt necessarily good
Jacob Walker
Do whatever you like, I personally always play with the self-imposed restrictions of not using any Yokai higher than my current watch rank, and not using S-ranks at all until postgame. It keeps the game's difficulty a bit more balanced. I also didn't use the Yokai Watch Dream's blaster to damage bosses or harder yokai fights at all because that thing is retarded.
Andrew Torres
>been trying for too damn long I stopped counting the tried >tfw no Snartle friend
I've got an old 3ds xl and I'm fucking loving 3 (except why couldn't I pick Katie over Nate goddamnit) but good FUCK do the minigames drop frames. Blasters T, Zombie night, Terror Time, even the goddamn raft isn't great. I managed the second instance of Zombies yesterday but Blasters T honestly feels unplayable.
Ethan Collins
New 3DS works great!
Luis Russell
Blasters T doesn't really need 60 FPS to be playable but I'll agree that it's really fucking bad frame-wise. Also you can kind of be Katie in a few sidequests.
Equippable item that suppresses a Yo-kai's skill WHEN
Matthew Howard
Yeah the Katies sidequests were what made me pine for her. She seems pretty good as a yokai though.
Glad to hear it, honestly didn't realize it had that much more horsepower.
Jaxson Rivera
Honestly that might end up being too busted. I'm pretty sure that they removed the Soldier's Soul in 3 because negating all loafing is just too powerful.
I got that mask nigger with two swords in Yokai Watch 1 incredibly early and he completely broke the game for me. Sraggle? Snaggle? Can't remember his name.
Jacob King
It's fun to feel OVERPOWERED no one wants to get punished for playing a game
Blake Scott
>Flying Pokemon still just awkwardly hover in the air despite there existing basic idle animations for them >Still using the same sound effects for like a decade now Not sure why people still expect any amount of quality from GF.
Evan Sanders
The Zombie Night doc? Francesca Stein/Riri Furanshi
>Y-Files >Red Room from Twin Peaks What other 90s stuff did they include? Also is Level 5 trying to make Japanese kids watch these shows because good on them.
Her favorite food is Caramel Peanuts. She wears the same perfume her mother wore. She hasn't seen her dad in 10 years. She made the Whomper from parts she ordered online. She finds Necromutt annoying. She likes to make candy in her spare time.
In most languages, her name is a reference to Frankenstein.
Spewcopter and Dream Blaster are both garbage. >did the tutorial quest for the copter and laughed at how it was veering around wildly >funny joke, now I get him the candy and he'll fly normally, right? >mfw finishing the quest
YW is so lame that its boosters here always to use Pokemon to bait replies.
Thomas Evans
That's acceptable.
Charles Rogers
give him shrooms give him shrooms shroom him shrooms
>Ashita no Joe What's this?
Jose Bailey
Dream Blaster would be better if you could just choose what you wanted to make it do. Instead you just have to kinda let it run out of time if it lands on something you didn't want. It should be that tribes determine whether you'll have more a chance to shoot hearts than damage.
It should just be "pick friend mode or foe mode" and give it an RNG chance to activate the "super" mode if you HAVE to have RNG in it somewhere. needing to have a stall team when recruiting Yokai just to wait for the blaster to refresh because you get foe mode 4 times in a row is horrible.
Gabriel Hernandez
More like Yea Forums is so lame that you have to start a thread with bait to get replies.
Joshua Reyes
Honestly I feel like they just tried to balance out befriending in this game with the Forbidden Fruits. It can take some time farming them, especially when you aren't get Clu-T-Facts, but it's still worth it in the end. Still, you'll ultimately need dozens of them. Even with having a Popularity Yokai with the Superstar Soul, feeding them the best version of their favorite food, and maxing out hearts, I'll still end up not getting Yokai. At that point it needs to be a guaranteed chance.
Popularity and Superstar Soul don't stack iirc, but I've been feeding the superheroes the best version of their favorite food, using the befriending aura and a popularity yokai, maxing them with the blaster and sometimes even getting heart wisps and after a week of doing that daily to all of them I've still only recruited one. The rate practically demands you use fruit on anything remotely rare to fight like the Merican Legends.
Joshua Bailey
I love these games but imo a big part of the reason they've never really caught on over here is the ridiculous obtuseness of the 'catching' mechanics. Shit's dumb.
Gabriel Campbell
being honest they should implement something like the dexnav in oras the more you figth certain enemies more probability to get it
I dropped blasters because of the retarded RNG
Julian Martin
That's party of the "mystery" of Yo-kai.
Humans can never understand ghosts.
Obsessive compulsive collectors can relax and enjoy the experience.
Fairly certain that Popularity/Superstar have always stacked, don't know where you heard that, but there's no real good way of actually testing this sadly. I'm Sushi/Justice, and I can use Forbidden Fruits on everyone except D-Stroy, which doesn't really make any sense. I guess he befriends you after the battle like the Onis in 2.
I'm not surprised. In Pokemon it's as simple as just throwing a ball and you'll know no matter what if you catch it that's the end of that. I can definitely see people getting turned off by it, and honestly I would not be upset if they downsized the amount of food items or made it much more simple in 4. I understand that you aren't catching them but earning their trust and befriending them, but still. It can be very frustrating for kids that they don't understand why they can't just get a cool looking Yokai.
If you keep donating to the shrine at Mt Wildwood then you'll sometimes get it where it'll say that you'll make more friends, so there's that, but yeah.
Isaac Collins
but they don't stack, it even says in the game that superstar souls and popularity don't stack through kainet
Jose Baker
Keep throwing money in there to fight Greesel who's an auto befriend.
It would definitely put western fans worries at ease. Even if it was delayed by a month it'd still be acceptable, rather than having to wait fucking 3 years like we had to with 3, which in that time WibWob died and I guess they just said fuck it, don't make a new mobile game for people like us.
Gavin Russell
Yeah it's not entirely reassuring. There's clearly a game there, but hearing about shit like a bunch of employees leaving Level 5 plus the delays is a bit concerning.
Yes, but I doubt they'd be able to pull it off.
Nathan Howard
>but hearing about shit like a bunch of employees leaving Level 5 plus the delays is a bit concerning. Don't pay attention to meme articles.
My only annoyance is when words are shortened with a period.
Aaron Collins
There are a TON of minor misspellings and oversights in the english script, nothing dealbreaking but they really needed to have someone go over everything one last time.
Wyatt Rogers
It's definitely really weird. I had my suspicions early on that you'd be able to travel from one continent to the other as a single character, but the game kept implying it over and over again and sure enough it finally happened. >Accept quest to find 46 pictures from that fat weeb >Start finding them in BBQ >HMMMM
Robert Taylor
How are the localizations in the games overall? Any censorship?
Can i start at yokai watch 3, or do i need to play them in order?
Brayden Phillips
as far as I know the only stuff that's been censored in the games was the Busters stuff being changed to prevent a lawsuit since it's all direct Ghostbusters references They even poke fun at that in 3 at one point >"We're the Blasters, not the Busters! Get it right!"
2 is basically a recap of 1 and an overall better game, Psychic Specters is the definitive version from this with 3, there's things like characters and environments that would be more special if you played either of the first two. that said, if you're only going to get one game, this one has more content and a (subjectively) better battle system
