yo-kai watch is so good, but i'm afraid it's motivated by greed...
What's so bad about temtem? I've had it on my wishlist for a while but I don't know much about it.
user, everyone is motivated by greed
there is a temtem called EPIG that is a pig with wings, i dont care about how good the game is, im never playing it
I hear you. but it's like extra motivated by greed. like it is just one big plot to take over pokemon.
Seriously? That's your problem with it?
Here I was thinking it was going to have fucking lootboxes or something, you big baby.
as long as the games are good i will be happy, they should try to take over pokemon so GF can start getting their shit together and make a good pokemon game again
Yo-Kai is alright, but is too childish for my liking.
I'm into Digimon more.
But none is gonna kill Pokemon because blind loyalty from fans that will keep buying the game even if is pure garbage.
im not playing anything that has a reddit-like name like that for a monster
Unironically I hope neither will be a "Pokemon killer", though likely none will be. Pokemon will always sell, there will always be children, manchildren, and they're roping in the casual crowd via GO.
Turning either of these into another Pokemon-tier mega franchise will inevitably turn these games into shit too, I think. I don't want that to happen with Digimon.
I have Yokai Watch, never opened it though. should I play?
Guys I loved Pokémon but now hate it- I tried SMT and Digimon but couldn't really stand the mechanics of having your monsters die or devolve etc.
Which Digimon/SMT game is most similar to Pokémon in terms of just collecting a team of permanent party members to battle for you?
The only one I enjoyed so far was Digimon Dusk and Dawn so more like that would be good
>Yo-Kai Watch 4 first image looks more detailed that the entirely of Sword/Shield
>now that we know pokemon S/S is going to be absolute shit,
Because it doesn't have all mons? Then why would you play 2 franchises that do the same thing?
digimon surrendered in making child games
Should Capcom have followed up with Stories?
Isn't the fourth game also confirmed for roster cuts?
Nigga haven't you played Yo Kai Watch?
The first game?
Would give it a try but I can't blame anyone for dropping it after a few hours; 2 and 3 are vastly superior in terms of gameplay and content.
Cyber Sleuth is basically a Pokémon game that got smashed together with SMT. Definitely one of my favorite monster collecting JRPGs out there.
don't know, Level-5 has been quiet about 4. The only thing we know is that is already on dev and its probably going to be first in Japan
The CEO of Level 5 said that they will add the rest later. Currently there's little more than 100 in the game but I might be wrong.
they said they will be adding all of them in updates, unlike pokemon
Have you played 4? 3 has almost 700 playable ones. 4 has like 306, and even with updates they aren't going to get nowhere near 3's numbers.
but user i want more yo-kai watch merch and spin-offs
>he thinks pokemon will get overtaken
That's what people say- too bad I don't have a PS4 or Vita
the "doesn't have all mons" is not the problem, is that the excuse for that was "better graphics" and "better animations", even tho the animations are 99% the same and the graphics look horrible
if GF keeps making these shit decisions they will lose most of their playerbase thats for sure, braindead soccermoms and children will still buy the games tho
They've been slowly but steadily releasing more Yo-kai Watch games over the last few years, haven't they?
I don't care. I just want Survive and I want the Story games to come out for PC. Maybe Re:Digitize and Next Order too but I know it's not gonna happen.
Awaken my masters
>Which franchise is going to kill Pokemon?
pokemon.
>kill
Its cute you think that. Or how you think it won't sell two million copies in a weekend.
If that is not the problem then i don't see it, Pokefag have eaten up shit graphics and animations since 1996, one more game wouldn't have changed anything.
>No Medabots
i'm a HUGE digimon fan and i like yo-kai watch, but let's be real now. neither of them are going to "kill pokemon." pokemon is doing its best to implode on its own and millions of shiteaters still buy the games.
let's just be satisfied that other franchises are putting in effort instead of resting on their laurels.
Lmao this.
>Digimon
>relevant outside the 90s
>Yokai Watch
>relevant anywhere outside of Japan
Nothing can kill Pokemon, when it dies, the entire Monster RPG market dies.
pokemon crystal had pretty good graphics for its time
you might like shadowside yo-kai more, they're kind of digimon-esque.
Battle sprites? Yeah. Everything else, including the battle backgrounds? Absolutely not.
>user, everyone is motivated by greed
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Pokemon can only kill itself at this point, much like how WoW can only kill itself. The problem is that people aren't wising up to Game Freak's shit despite there being heaps of evidence for it.
i guess you are right
im not a jew bro, otherwise i would be advertising pokemon
And come on, Yokai Watch? Really? It bombed in America and in Japan its freefalling into death.
>Which franchise is going to kill pokemon
Pokemon
>Tripnigger is a fucking retard
>Tripnigger thinks that only sales matter
Die horribly in a fire.
Only one killing Pokemon is Pokemon.
Best course is for Nintendo to step in, take full control, and hand the reigns to someone else. Of course that won't happen, especially when mindless drones continue to buy it up.
Fucking leomon there
>im not a jew bro, otherwise i would be advertising pokemon
If you didn't get the reference that's fine you didn't have to reply
isn't today jew day or somethin tho ?
I doubt either would ever take a huge leap in popularity in the west
yeah, Digimon used to be kind of big but that was 15 years ago and their games don't have consistency
YW is pretty good and they're not afraid to evolve their games
>basic battle system handles itself in 1 and 2
>grid system in 3
>4 jumps to consoles and is a full ARPG
but it's also super Japanese
except for 3, where it's American
Reminder that yo-kai watch has better waifus than pokemon
I got your joke user, I also enjoyed W
based cakeboss
It's overall a better series in general.
i guess thats also true, how long until Yo-kai watch 4 releases in the west ?
no it didn't.
I'm betting on a year or 2 since it just came out in Japan
3 took 2 years
holy shit, why does it take so long to localize these games?
Well, Level-5 is supposed to be at Anime Expo, but who knows. I doubt they'd announce Yo-kai Watch 4 there due to E3 being like two weeks ago. But that might have been Game Freak clamoring at Nintendo to not have them in the same presentation as them. Hopefully we don't have to wait as long as the others considering it's a Switch game, but I might just say fuck it and import it. Sick of this slow-ass localization bullshit. Just release the game over here with the Jap voices and have English subtitles.
the battle sprites are good atleast
3 only came out in February, and just barely. You'll be lucky if 4 comes over at all.
What are the other 3 games?
if the dub wasn't so shit maybe they would have made more sucess in the west
I played Cyber Sleuth, World 1 and World 2, which Digimon game should I play next?
dragon quest 3, lufia: the legend returns, and azure dreams.
I needed Yokai Watch to die so level 5 went back to making Inazuma Eleven games
Cuz they keep flopping.
haha what the fuck is that sprite
No idea... it's not like the Kiseki series where Falcom refuses to let it get localized until Japan has it and it's loaded with mountains of text due to evolving NPCs.
I mean there's still a ton of text in Yo-kai Watch but it's not like a visual novel or something...
Hearing how 4 is going to be on a Splatoon-style GaaS schedule gives me a little hope that there's not AS much to localize and thus we can get it faster... but I'm being stupidly optimistic.
World 3 if you want more turn-based but this time it's 1v1 with switch-outs and in-battle evolution only. Get the 2003 version if you can, it has post-game content. I think it's the European version? Also check out the DS games, maybe you'll like them, but don't go in expecting anything amazing.
Or if you want more like World 1 play Re:Digitize Decode and Next Order.
Neither. But I do think both of these games are gonna benefit from this.
Especially since the new Digimon game seems to be one of Bamco's more serious projects.
Oh yeah, and Digital Card Battle if you like card games. That one's great.
hacker's memory.
I forgot to put digital card battle, which I say is probably my second favorite digimon game outside of cyber sleuth.
the first game will have 810 after all of the post-launch updates
fourth i meant
cyber sleuth battle system can make it big.
exploration in those games suck though
pokemon will kill itself if they keep gamefreak as the main developer
they're not really based around exploration, they're based around playing through the story.
Neither
so imagine a digimon game with cyber sleuth's battle system, and an exploration system unique to digimon
i think that could work if made properly
Neither
When Pokemon dies the entire genre will go with it. Digi and Yokai will remain niche shit
i have a feeling that the next story game will focus more on the digital world (which lends itself better to exploration) and look like tales of arise. cyber sleuth vastly outsold bamco's expectations in the west, so they're going to want to impress western audiences with the next one.
>Delusional Digimonfags still think their franchise is gonna take over Pokemon
I'm a Digimonfag, but Digimon is too niche
if that's true then im excited for the new game
post blizzaria
Why do you think Pokemon is still going strong, while Digimon and Yu-Gi-Oh just sort of faded away?
you're implying that they had any sort of traction until very recently
Satoshi
>Implying Yu-Gi-Oh wasn't big in the early to mid 2000s
Nothing will kill Pokemon. The fact that people are actively campaigning to get LESS content as an act of contrarianism towards people who want the national dex back shows this franchise is unkillable. Gen 9 could have imperial Japanese propaganda like South Park's parody and promote the genocide of non Japanese while also having zero gameplay and the drones would defend it.
Inazuma Eleven
I think Pokemon is too big to fail at this point.
digimon hasn't "faded away" at all. it's a multi-billion-dollar franchise that still gets new anime, games and merchandise on a regular basis.
i misread yugioh as yokai watch and didnt bother to correct myself. you are correct.
Nah man. Digimon and YW are vidya series. Pokemon is a whole brand. A brand that has normies obsessed with. Dont ever think Pokemon isnt going to sell.
it's not a rumor or anything, just my personal gut feeling based on the growing demand for digimon games in the west.
plus it's being developed with the ps4 as a base, and it's taking so long that they're giving us side games like hacker's memory and survive to tide us over while we wait for it. to me, that's all pointing to a big increase in budget and production values.
idk user detective pikachu didn't do as well as expected, depending on who you ask
There's a new one though idiot.
what said
shadowside is darker in tone and more plot focused than the original series that is just wacky shenanigans at school and gags/parodies. two of the protagonist from shadowside are playable in yo-kai watch 4 which will definitely have the shadowside yo-kai in them. give that one a shot when it gets localized in like 2 years.
Sure but that's not a mainline game. A lot of Pokemon spinoffs didnt do as well as mainline ones. Like even the better Pokemon games.
It's amazing how every Inazuma Eleven is a better Pokémon game than Gamefreak's garbage, even when their step up to the 3DS was rough it was still better than XY, and it's apparently going to happen again now.
Is Ares rpg-like the DS games or like Strikers or whatever they were called?
Lol Yokai watch. A series where large majority of the yokai are recolours and variations of existing yokai
I think it's a combination of both. The camera and action gameplay is from strikers, with a third person camera following behind you instead. But there are attacks command like in the NDS/3DS games
that's like, most rpg video game monsters ever
plus in one of them you can make your own cat so it breaks even
yokaiwatch.fandom.com
I'll chose Digimon because of Ranamon.
Shut the fuck up. Multi billion my ass
thats only because he is the pikachu of the franchise
I think on Twitter Level-5 said that they'd be at Anime Expo for Inazuma stuff specifically.
>Digimon Survive coming to PC
Can't fuckin wait.
read it and weep:
en.wikipedia.org
Yes and that new one was supposed to be out like a year and a half ago and still has no release date, it's based on Ares and the anime is already more than halfway through Orion, the sequel to Ares.
Fucking Sonic the Hedgehog still has a dedicated, massive global fanbase. And that series is literally famous for being shit, and has been for twice as long as it was good.
The next Pokemon could release with only one playable monster that doesn't evolve and the fanbase would complain but still buy it anyway.
So? Pokemon also does something similar to this with the pikaclones but at least they all look different from each other.
Almost every Yokai in that pic shares the same appearance. The only difference is colour or clothing.
at this point, gen 9 will look like pic related and pokemon fans will beg game freak to downgrade the graphics.
I wonder how the fuck they are going to work this out, it's either going to warrant a sequel that has already been aired or tank and Orion will be anime only.
They posted about it on the YW and Layton Twitters too so it seems to be a general Level-5 event.
I imagine they'll talk Inazuma Eleven Ares (game and anime), Katrielle Switch port, Snack World, and if we're lucky we'll hear Yo-kai Watch.
Hopefully digimon but
>different genre of game with every iteration
they'll have to get lucky and pick the right genre in the future
[spoilet]Survive looks remarkable tho[/spoiler]
At this point seeing as they've scrapped a ton of the game multiple times throughout development I wouldn't be surprised if they just combined the stories of Ares and Orion into the one game.
> Winnie the Pooh is the 3rd highest grossing media franchise in the world
What the fuck? Is Winnie The Pooh really that popular?
I am really disappointed in you niggers.
there's only one franchise that is going to kill Pokemon.
it's not Digimon, it's not Yo-Kai Watch, it's not DQM nor is it something like Monster Rancher.
the real killer of Pokemon is Pokemon.
Digimon is too confusing to catch on, don't know much about yokai.
I fucking wish Survive had a date already.
>different genre of game with every iteration
that hasn't been true in a long time. the franchise is now split between the story games that play like traditional jrpgs and the world games that play like digimon world 1, with survive potentially becoming a third series if it sells well. that's no different from how pokemon used to have the main games coexist with other games like mystery dungeon and ranger.
Neither, because normalfags don't give a shit about the stuff Yea Forums REEEEs about.
Yeah man, Winnie the Pooh is absolutely huge, I can't speak for the US but in the UK literally everybody can recognise the characters and they get a constant stream of merchandise in Japan, in addition to all the more general soft toys and Disney Store exclusive items.
If they keep the shitty localization they did for GO games I'll refuse to give them money.
>Start playing
>Think Victor Blade is common for them and kinda witty
>He starts speaking
I could keep up with the name changes in previous games but they went too far for those, holy shit, it's magic soccer but still Japan.
That would be nice but I don't know how long Orion is going to go for, it's already past Ares episode count and almost only half done.
The name changes I could deal with but the voices have been awful since the first game came out, I don't see that changing any time soon.
If they want to avoid playing catch up they'll need to either have the plot of Orion in there or release an Orion game really soon after the Ares one.
>pokemon will always be popular even if it has no soul
>yo-kai watch will never be popular even if its peak soul
why even live
It's the fate of all Level-5 franchises to fade in to relative obscurity over time, just accept it and it'll be OK.
>>why even live
So I can play the next Yo-kai Watch game.
Honestly YKW is one of the only game series I continue to care about. I've realized that Pokemon will never be as it once was, so I've moved on entirely.
As long as their monster are just people it will never take over pokemon
the nyan family is based fuck off
See you next week when numbers come in for yo kai watch 4 fw in japan. Plan the funeral for this dead franchise
Remember when Pokemon attempted to copy Jibanyan variants with all those Pikachu costumes in ORAS, but then half-assed it and stopped caring? Just like how they copied both Whisper and the Yo-kai Watch in SM?
Underrated post
must suck being a pokemon-only autist and having nothing to look forward to in your own game, so you have to get hyped for another game to sell poorly.
Pokemon is a souless corporate product that just does the exact same thing every two years with minimal progress and change. Its why its successful, they don't piss off older fans, keep things simple and deliver the same thing that worked before.
It is a well managed assembly line product, but it never had that spark of somebody actually doing something really creative with it.
Digimon is a fucking mismanaged mess of a franchise that went through so many creative hands, no plan at all and they just let people do whatever they wanted.
This also meant that the whole franchise has a fuckton of misses, but also some accidental highs when it ended up in the hands of somebody who actually wanted to make something out of it.
Also means that the massive amount of varying quality and changing concepts gave people a lot off reasons and points to jump ship.
The anime especially managed to be great with Tamers as the absolute high point, the games often tried to reach at greatness and had potential at times.
No idea about Yokai watch, since I didn't watch it. But I don't see it standing a chance to Pokemon. Pokemon has 20 years of successful franchise-building behind it now.
Hold my medaparts
I'd kill a lot of people for a good, current medabots game.
then why does pokemon have shit like jynx and gardevoir which are literally just people
>they dont piss off older fans
oh how the turntables
I imagine a lot of the preorders for Shword are casual pokemonlet fans that got into it when Go! came out or they got a switch, saw the baby mode Let's Go Pikeevee games and thought "I'll give pokemon a try :)"
Come on Digibros and Yo-kaibros, its time we team up and finally kill this monster we call the pokemon and any other monster taming bros can join in as well.
Yo-Kai Watch finna dab on Pokemon
What exactly do we call this genre, anyway? “Familiars” games or something?
At the very least we can both watch Pokemon continue to become a disaster and laugh at it.
Most just call it monster raising/catching but there's probably some Japanese term that no one outside Japan is going to use.
blizzaria and her girlfriend
I never really thought of or liked Yokai watch, the designs are too "by the numbers" feeling for me, but yeah, the whole Pokemon dex thing is hilarious to witness. You may not be my friend, but we can at least see this trash fire together and giggle at how silly it all is
holy shit based yo-kai watch, the pokemon twitter only replies to "UwU i wanna PROTECC sobble" retards
Monster collecting
I'll give yo-kai watch series some bit of credit, that series has the best lolis and short stacks.
>2 out of 268 vs all being people shaped
C’mon...
In a just world, Digimon would have gotten its shit together and Pokemon would have gotten the flak it deserved for being nothing but a constant rehash.

Thing is, I kinda agree with those kids.
After watching the old trailers, I came to the conclusion that the humor is even worse than Pokémon, which as far as I can recall still has decent humor. That, and just overall cringy-as-fuck voice acting (Whispur being the exception).
The trailer for 4 looks promising, but that’s usually what happens when you’re only looking at the japanese version.
i will never understand the autism that if it isn't a cutesy quadruped cartoon animal, it isn't a "real monster." i can only assume it's degenerate feralfags pushing this narrative.
My god, I miss Digimon Tamers so much...
God bless.
>playing the dub
It is a franchise plagued by suffering. Both in the media itself, since monsters keep dying and the kids lose their partners every time.
And also because it keeps getting mismanaged and fucked.
Adventure is getting its third fucking sequel now, even though 02 and Tri are terrible failures.
Tamers 2 isn't getting made because Tri 2 is in production, even though Konaka desperately wants to do it.
Why are we still here? Just to suffer?
don't forget tri kek
The franchise future in the West is up in the air too. Saban is dead. I guess Hasbro has the rights now but knowing how they mis-handled Yo-kai Watch... bleh.
nu-toei would butcher tamers 2 anyway unless konaka got total creative control, no strings attached.
literally the only problem with digimon right now is toei. bandai needs to wake up and give digimon to sunrise instead.
Digimon couldn't kill Pokemon when it had a superior anime and games.
Yo-Kai Watch won't either. All it has is countless recolors of Jibanyan and say they're original creatures.
Sadly, Pokemon's too big now. It CAN'T be stopped. Help me. Matsuda's holding a fucking gun to my head and
Anybody play TemTem or gonna try it when they reopen preorders (to get instant access basically) on the 25th?
I've always wanted a Pokemon MMO that wasn't a romhack/mod but Nintendo can't into computers and they seem to hate the idea of a persistent world.
Why are we still here?
Just to suffer?
Every night, I think of my partner… and my friends… the adventures. The childhood I’ve lost… the piece of myself I’ve lost…
It won’t stop hurting… It’s like they’re it's all still there.
You feel it too, don’t you?
This, unfortunately. People will honestly suck up actual liquid ebola feces if it had the right branding and marketing push on it.
I miss Guilmon, he was my favorite when I was a kid, I grew up wanting my own Digimon too but I never got one...
Goddammit I just wanted a red talking dinosaur with the brain of a dog, was that too much to ask?
we're here because any digimon design shits on any pokemon one, and that's enough for me desu
>It CAN'T be stopped
Not with that attitude.
Yokai watch is the only that can compete. If the next Digimon Story is good, we could see a Digimon make a comeback(not in the sense of beating Pokemon)
Guilmon is adorable
youtube.com
>Remember the days of watching full series uploaded to Youtube
>That's how I watched both Sonic X and Digimon Tamers when I was like 13 or so
I should probably try harder to get into Digimon.
Shit. now a want a Digimon/Yo Kai Watch crossover.
other way around. if pokemon somehow ever lost most of its popularity, digimon would be more equipped to compete because it has strong fanbases in the west, china and korea. yo-kai watch has never gained any traction outside of japan.
If Yokai Watch came around in 1996, it maybe would have had a chance. But Monster Rancher, Digimon, hell, Time Detective, Fighting Foodons. All either died or in Digimon's case, just gave up.
The saddest and most depressing thing about Tamers is that they end with a promise to meet again, but never do any the audio drama that follows it is soul-crushing.
>Jian dedicates his life to finding a way to see his friend again
>Takato rages and lashes out against people in impotence because there is nothing he can do
>Ruki is utterly depressed and doesn't do anything anymore
>Juri already had her dreams crushed when Leomon died
what the actual fuck happened to yokai?
i remember years ago it seem so popular in japan
It's been so long, but what happened at the end of Tamers, and what's this about audio dramas?
They tried going way too hard into it and tried the two-games Pokemon thing, and didn't properly space out the games, which led to burnout. It doesn't help that Inaho essentially killed the anime for a time.
When bad decisions and bad luck collide, leaving you with a JUST tornado.
Shadowside didn't help either. Going for a more serialized anime. At least it was only a year, and now the goofy stuff is back.
The speculation is that 4 will bomb, but it's topping the Japanese Amazon charts...
Jian's father betrays the kids, makes everything turn back to normal and reestablishing the barrier between the real and digital world, forcing the kids' partners out and separating for an unknown amount of time rather suddenly. They promise to meet again.
The audio drama takes place a year or so later, and it is pretty depressing, the kids send out the digital equivalent of 'message in a bottle' to their partners, saying how they feel. Its clear that the main kids haven't moved on and Ruki's especially is downright soul-crushing when she breaks down.
Konaka also made a second audio drama very recently to pitch Tamers 2 to Toei, but they said they're too busy.
You mean speculation from bias copers buttmad about Pokemon being yet another shitshow?
i read somewhere that preorders were "higher than expected" for YW4. no idea on the source for that or if its true, though
Them and Wall Street Oasis, but if they're anything like Pachter they're going to be wrong.
Jeez, I don't remember Tamers being so depressing. Although I guess it doesn't help that I originally watched the 4kids version.
Could Tamers 2 work as a game instead of an anime?
> I don't remember Tamers being so depressing
Rewatch it, rewatch it but in japanese with english subs, 100% worth it.
Tamers has death, betrayal and mental breakdowns taken seriously.
For fucks sake, the season features a malevolent AI that feeds off the misery and despair of a 10 year old girl while it mind-tentacle-tortures her by replaying her mother's death over and over.
>4kids version
That one is flat out worse than any fandub, the English dub replaced the great music with garbage, inserted awful puns everywhere, messed with the script/characters and had awful VAs.
>Game instead of anime
No, Tamers strongest point is the writing, you could not realistically make a sequel to it as a Digimon game and have it be heavily story-driven.
GF definatly lost me as a loyal fan, Im swearing off pokemon completely and Ive been playing digimon hackers memory, but Im wondering, im getting the switch in a few weeks and if you guys dont mind giving me some game suggestions to get instead of pokemon, the first game im def getting is disgaea 5 (Im a collection fag, I have all the other games and spinoffs) But what game should I get second?
iirc, konaka mentioned in an interview a few months ago that he'd be interested in writing for video games. i think a tamers 2 game would work if he's the one writing it.
zelda, mario, smash bros, darkest dungeon, dragon quest 11 when it comes out
Digimon Survive's dev diary proves they're putting a lot if thought and care into the series which is nice.
Also we got this yesterday and Lucemon is my new husbando
>pokemon will always have more porn than yo-kai watch
sad
Digimon hardly stands a chance. Yokai Watch was actually beating Pokemon in sales in Japan.
Look at these designs.
Pokemon will never be overtaken in the west even if they never made another game for the series again.
key words: "in japan." pokemon was slumping there anyway because unlike the western nu-male bugmen, they don't eat shit just because it comes from game freak.
nintendolife.com
digimon actually has a decent-sized fanbase outside of japan, and this is despite having to go up against peak pokemania at the beginning, something yo-kai watch never had to do.
They aren't literal humans though
Heres what I'm getting when they come out: Digimon Survive, Shin Megami Tensei 5, Animal Crossing, Panzer Dragon remake, Dragon Quest 11, Links Awakening remake, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles.
Digimon is coming to Steam too which is pretty great.
I'm actually okay with Digimon being kinda niche, keeps things comfy. Can you imagine how much shittier the furries would be if Digimon was actually popular? How many digisonas would we have waving their fucking dicks about?
Bandai Namco better not have ETHICS'D Belphemon bubble butt.
Best digimon game to emulate?
Digimon World 1
World 1 probably
Digimon, survive is coming out soon, also has potential to hit a wider audience.
Does anyone have the image that compares yo-kai watch with pokemon ?
>ywn fuck a yokai
>ywn fuck anything
Why are we getting new X forms like this?
You all know you're going to play Pokemon Masters when it comes out anyway
To give Habu more work to do.
Bitch, I fell straight into the FGO hole only to quit cold turkey. I know how fucking shit mobile games are, they no longer have any sway on me.
masuda ruined the pokemon franchise and failed to copy yo-kai watch
Man this guy just fucking loves to lie through his teeth doesnt he? I see people more often than not get visibly upset when a game they are playing is over because they dont just want more of it they want it to consume their entire life. Yet this guy legitimately thinks that people would rather you dumb your series down so people can play it really quickly then never touch it again.
Robopon 3 when
I still remember when I first saw RotomDex and thought "Holy shit that's just Whisper". They were really blatant about it...
>theres a creature I dont like
>the game is shit
Fucking kill yourself you massive faggot
nothing, Pokémon is still the most popular and will be immortal among the ignorant masses, just like Mario, FarCry and FIFA
I intend to buy both Digimon Survive and Youkai Watch 4 when they hit the west
I give negative fucks about sword and shield
>they don't piss off older fans
Where've you been the past week?
>Isn't the fourth game also confirmed for roster cuts?
there will be 300 available at the start with more added in as time goes on
God I want to fuck that pikachu!
For the new vpet versions they sell in Japan. Although were starting to get some here.
In a just world, Bandai wouldn't JUST Digimon in every conceivable way.
>Card game doomed
>Video games never consistent content-wise, but consistent in mediocrity outside of a few examples
>Anime never consistent (But still leagues better than Pokemon)
I think the card game was the biggest detriment
>Never had a consistent format (Switch from 2D to 3D was retarded)

Really, Digimon's biggest problem if you didn't get it by now is consistency. If they can string together consistency in America, they might stand a chance, but if not...
My dream is for a pokemon game to do so badly that gamefreak is finally not the developer for those games anymore, so maybe someone that gives a shit can make them
Cyber Sleuth and Hackers Memory are already 100% better then any pokemon game gen 6 and onward. I'd even argue they're better then EVERY pokemon game. This is coming from someone who maxed out the clock time in Fire Red. I will say that Digimon is very hit or miss with a lot of its games though, its either really good and a lot of fun, or utter shit.
I don't know what number post this is, but it's the best post
>In Japan
released too many games too quickly, causing burnout.
Inaho was disliked and hurt the anime.
People though Shadowside was gonna be maximum edge, but it was just ever so slightly less kiddy.
>In the West
They tried to hyper-westernize the localization instead of just letting it be itself.
Not to mention how whoever did the dub made the most retarded decisions constantly, like giving Insomni a robot voice for no reason
I want to fuck the goat
Enjoy your vacation user
Digibros, think about it. If we take over in Pokemon's spot, all of the degenerates and retards contained by Pokemon will flood the comfy fanbase and ruin it.
As much as I like digimon these have been around too long performing middling at best. Momentum and trajectory are a thing it will take something new, hot, and fast to do that.
The environments took a hit because they needed to reserve graphics for everything else (Namely, 251 pokemon textures, 502 in total if you count back sprites). They were also building off of the older titles, which for THEIR time looked good.
I wonder how much crack you'd have to smoke to think yo kai was ever going to amount to shit in the states. Prolly gets a pass in japan because they live for cringy and weird shit, but not here.
>To give Habu more work to do
Habu won't be seeing those X-Antibodies hit his desk in his fuckin' lifetime bro. Hell no one AT ALL might not even see them hit their desk. Don't even go there. When Digimon games get made 80% of the roster is filled with Season 1 shit and the rest are the main Digimon from the shows. And even those special snowflakes don't get their Antibody stuff included.
Referring to games as "X Killers" is the fastest way to make everyone see them as ripoffs and then people wont give a shit.
The sad thing is that Level-5 and Nintendo weren't doing that at all.
No it was fucking Viz Media that went around parading it as a Pokemon Killer. And of course shitty Kotaku bloggers latched onto it and spread it around because something dared to approach their "precious Pokemon"
SD Gundam is the real Pokemon killer
Wasn't there supposed to be a new show starting this year? Or was it just a new line of kits?
All these new X-mons makes me want another X-Evolution film.
Also, what're some Youkai you wanna see get Shadowside forms Yea Forums?
I really want a Shadowside form for Insomni!
We need more good SD Gumdam Lewds.
Shame tho only one who does good Lewds of them and Youkai Watch is Tojyo who barely draws either anymore.
I just wish Pokemon had some legit competition that'd scare them into trying. Too bad what was probably the closest they'd ever have to that in Japan blew their load too quickly
>Cyber Sleuth and Hackers Memory are already 100% better then any pokemon game gen 6 and onward
>Digifags actually believe this
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>Which franchise is going to kill pokemon ?
Both of them, together.
SWSH is such a massive fuck-up, people are going to look for other games to fill the void.
They'll find Digimon, Yo-Kai Watch, and World of Final Fantasy--among others--and realize that Pokémon has ALWAYS been lazy and complacent.
t. masuda
imagine actually thinking that 3D pokemon games are anywhere near the level of quality of Cyber Sleuth and Hackers Memory.
>no argument
Sell me on Yokai Watch 3.
>the level of quality of Cyber Sleuth and Hackers Memory
>Digimon games
>quality
HAHAHAHAHAHA
>no argument
Fun grid-based battle system that lets you move your Yo-kai around.
Loads of sidequests
Blasters T which is basically a second game within a game.
Plenty of fun dialogue
Lots of great music.
I've personally put in over 200 hours into the game.
she is on the game
its better than every pokemon game after gen 5
don't question anything, just consume the pokemon-brand cyanide laced koolaid
It has like ten times the content as SuMo.
And an actual postgame.
Don't need one for retards who think Digimon is even worth discussing
Why are pokefags so salty on digimon threads all the time?
I'm guessing it's the same guy every time
Bing bing wahoo! $0.01 has been deposited in your Nintendo eShop account. Thank you for your continued service to the Nintendo brand.
For all the puns and corny soundtracks and cut scenes
The dub's decision to make DNA and Biomerge digivolutions speak with the voices of the component characters together was 10/10
How about you get gamefreaks dick out of your mouth and get some better taste in monster collection games.
Its because their franchise has only gotten worse over the years after it peaked in Gen 5, and the series is getting worse and lazier every new game.
Yes. Should be starting up sometime during the summer.
Whether it gets subbed or gets stuck with an HK dub is up in the air.
1-UP! An additional $0.01 has been deposited in your Nintendo eShop account. Thanks for helping Nintendo correct the record!
Nah, fuck off, you projecting corporate whore.
Mushroom Waifu for me
Nice. Guess I'll have something to watch before Build Divers 2 kicks off then.
Just preordered the 20th anniv. Vpet. I haven't played one since I was maybe 10, i had the gen 1, gen 2, and gen 3 digivice
how much does one of the new X-Vpets cost?
The one in english comes out in August for 20 bucks, all the others are from Japan and are all second hand for outrageous prices of over 100 bucks
>He's never heard of "when pigs fly"
Neck yourself dumb ESL
based and SDpilled
Ah, glad to hear they're coming out in the states!
>shit like jynx and gardevoir which are literally just people
they aren't, retard
I bet you'll say Machoke and Alakazam are "just people" too
THIS is "just people"
HAVE A DREAMIN' GREETING KONOBA NO KUUKI
user?...... user? Answer us!!! user!!
You have braindamage if you keep falling for inferiorgamefags' shill posts
SMT and Digimon are both garbage compared to Pokemon, suck it up and get over it
i mean yeah, but thats digimon and not yo-kai watch
A good chunk of those aren't "just people" either, and in some cases the pictures here are intentionally dolled up versions drawn by different artists. Nice cherrypicking, faggot.
If you admit even 5 of those actually exist, Digimon is still damned
It doesn't matter. It's not for you. Just let people like what they like instead of insisting everything is some kind of imaginary battle you have to win because you're bored on the internet.
t. furfag
Nice reading comprehension.
That’s exactly what I thought, I prefer to keep Digimon as a niche series.
>that's like, most rpg video game monsters ever
except Pokemon until Gen VII
another thing it picked up from Yokai Watch
is2.Yea Forums.org/v/1561065976279.png
>the pictures here are intentionally dolled up versions drawn by different artists
???
>except Pokemon until Gen VII
nah.
Neither of those two, that's for sure.
Also this "Pokémon killer" meme is getting real stale.
Game Freak could literally shit on a plate and people would pay 60 dollars for it. Prove me wrong.
Then why are you in this blatant war thread?
If you wanna go jerk off your shit like Digimon in your own safe space, then feel free to do so
But with a charged OP like this, you've no right to complain about getting shat on
Not the best example, but the one I have on hand: Witchmon is normally depicted with a mouth full of razor sharp, triangular teeth, no nose whatsoever and oversized claws rather than a cutesy, anime girl face and normal proportions
gonna update this image with alolan raichu and whatever the sword/shield squirrel?
Because fucking everything is some kind of argument and shitpost war these days. People want to do nothing but shitpost and it's just tiresome.
I'll give you Minun Plusle as anomalies, as well as Lake Trio; those are the only examples one could think of (I won't count Unown which serve an actual purpose for their different forms, and are actually counted as one species)
But I'll maintain it didn't start in earnest until Unova.
you're right, but that applies to all nintendo fans, not just pokemon fans.
>SWSH is such a massive fuck-up, people are going to look for other games to fill the void.
1. YW4 is bombing in Japan
2. Sword/Shields pre-orders are great (source: archive.is
3. No one is going to buy Digimon/YW based on a supposed to dislike of Pokemon. That makes zero sense. This is your brain on 'consolewar'-style faggotry, that there exists this large number of people (especially outside Japan) who won't buy Sword/Shield and be like "welp, gotta buy YW now." It's retarded logic.
each one of these save for hat pikachu use space wasting 3d models. yokai watch started from the gate with a billion dead ghost cats with matching skeletons.
not really. Plenty of oldschool nintendo fans are wise to their bullshit by this point. I'm one of them.
Stop talking to yourself.
If he's complaining about a pig with wings, he's obviously too ignorant to understand when designs are referencing outside material.
He probably wanks it to edgebait with no real substance like Corviknight because IT'S SOOO COOOL
>Yokai watch is the only that can compete
By flopping in the one and only country it was ever relevant?
If YSO's predictions are right and YW4 opens up in Japan with a first week number that's not even one-fourth of Let's Go's first week sales number of 664,198 in that country...
>No one is going to buy Digimon/YW based on a supposed to dislike of Pokemon.
Do you understand the concept of a power vacuum?
When Pokémon inevitably falls--and at this rate, it IS an inevitability--someone has to fill the void they leave.
Either one of its competitors becomes the new king, or it leads to a rush of new IPs vying for the same market.
Maybe your first step to stop playing garbage games should be to stop buying Nintendo consoles.
Nice, what are these from? SMT?
>which franchise will take over its place ?
The answer to your question in this thread, past threads, and all threads going forward is a resounding
"None of them."
So, stop making this thread.
user with all due respect, Sword and Shield are still going to sell a bazillion copies. We are in the minority. We see the game for the absolute garbage it is but that seriously doesn't matter. Nothing will change. Everyone is going to still buy it anyway.
Metroid Federation Force, Chibi Robo Zip Lash and Paper Mario Color Splash all bombed because the fans of those series' found them too shitty to support. If only Pokefags wised up as well.
He's clearly complaining about that God awful name, you retard.
>When Pokémon inevitably falls--and at this rate, it IS an inevitability
dude, there are millions of nu-male bugmen who would buy an empty box with pikachu on the front if it was announced as the next pokemon game. it's not going to change.
>there is a temtem called EPIG that is a pig with wings
He's complaining about both you fucking retard, kill yourself and bury the body in a polar bear's stomach
Combined with never failing to captivate every decade with merchandise. Books, movies, tv shows, on top of plush figures and shirts. It all adds up.
>wont play a game because of something's name
>but will play pokemon no matter what
wew lad
Pokemon will always sell, but I at least hope the volume of the backlash will make Game Freak change their mind about a poor decision for once.
>YW4 is bombing in Japan
>Source: My Ass
monster girls>monsters who are female
the only one I ever picked was Togedemaru
pretty neat, good at battling
I have no doubt that SWSH will sell enough to keep Pokémon going.
But even normies are pissed about this one.
If Game Freak insists on lowering the bar every fucking game, this behemoth WILL fall.
Nobody can shoot themselves in the foot over and over and not bleed out eventually.
About all I can hope for is for it to sell worse than any other game in the series. Over time more and more people have left, and not even the push from Go could help gen 7 outsell XY without rereleasing the same game twice more.
>I can't speak for the US
Its pretty much the same here in the US. Pooh is quite the popular fellow.
I now see why digimon is associated with "overdesigned"
I think LGPE was already the worst selling excluding third versions. I wonder how much better SWSH will do.
i just started playing YKW2, how long until i can catch blizzaria on the museum ?
no im not complaining about the design, im complaining that its fucking name is EPIC + PIG
We know nothing about it
X-Antibody evolutions are intentionally overdesigned.
Digimon who are given the X-Antibody are transformed and become more powerful in order to combat the X-Program.
There are Digimon who are natural carriers and they look normal, like Dorumon.
that's still a stupid complaint
I've heard far worse names, this one isn't even bad
What would her milk taste like?
10mil might be a lot for most games, but for pokemon it's very low. Pretty sure it's worse than FRLG in that regard
I'll be generous and say 11-12mil for gen 8. Depressingly high, but yet another drop for mainline
Like heaven I bet.
God I wish he'd draw more Lewds of YW ladies.
His Chatalie and R63 Grubsnitch are fucking top tier.
goddamn those lips are so kissable.
Wanna cuddle her and smooch her as she acts all tsundere.
Can’t you fucks just leave, already?
No.
foocking help me, i have been playing this game for 2 hours and there are still no waifus
masuda will kill pokemon
I heard you like Blizzaria, so have a lightside and shadowside version of her for your trouble
MOMMY
Stay mad crybaby
Blizzaria is S rank so...post game.
You'll need to be B rank (halfway in 2) to get her pre-evo
thread should have ended here
im going to use a fucking cheat code then
Hold up, are they completely changing the yokai from their original designs?
If digimon didn't manage it back in the day then no one will be able to
Pokemon will most likely kill itself before any other franchise can
Digimon has to get its fucking act together NOW
Glad that gamefreak caused this backlash so we could have these threads
Yokai Watch 4 just came out in Japan and nobody even noticed.
We all know the games are going to sell well and the series is not going anywhere.
Why do topics concerning Digimon and Yokai Watch have to be started with charged statements and phrases usually in regards to Pokémon? Is it possible for people to just not attempt to shitpost or bait?
That's the intent of the Shadowside part of YW4. Familiar faces now look more traditional, older, edgier, or even more bizarre than usual.
YW3 makes it pretty easy to get her without needing post-game content via Blasters T, but yeah otherwise you're kinda stuck in the first 2 games.
You could use pink coins to try and get her recolor Damona from the crank, but that's some RNG mess right there.
On Yea Forums there are two types of YW threads: Ones that actually discuss the game (25% chance of living beyond 100 posts), or topics of one shitting on the other (very likely to get past the 500+post limit)
>don't know, Level-5 has been quiet about 4. The only thing we know is that is already on dev
4 is out, user. Like, you can buy it and play it.
Would you?
i want to POKE frostina
Poking was better than shooting
An interesting concept, i like it. Just a shame we arent getting localizations anymore. If only they were better and less cringe.
Yes
Would you?
>a shame we arent getting localizations anymore.
Nothing's confirmed, but France did start airing a new season of Yo-kai Watch, so maybe the episodes will spread sometime soon. For now though I imagine after releasing YW3 they're taking a break on announcing anything new...at least until the anime expo happens.
Only if the canonical gender
Honestly I was ready to try the game but then I heard of the Phoenix wright levels of localization of
Fictional Japan Town being America Town 4kids.tv style
What is the consensus on 4?
...
Move over its time for the new kids on the block to shine
I'd be happy with just getting 3 and then them taking a break, it was something i was expecting because they had to rethink their approach. I get that they wanted to become the next pokemon but i thought they put the cart before the horse, i would have loved a more faithful adaption of the game with almost entirely the same names for the youkai and embracing the overt japaneseness.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for 3 cause i did have fun with 1 and 2, in spite of the outrageous RNG of befriending.
It ain't over till it's over
Does anyone have that comparison webm between Cyber Sleuth and Sword/shield animations?
I only got this one gif.
I keep seeing this being posted, but never explained. What is this? A new anime? A new game? What system is it on?
I'm not feeling the Bot design, the weapons dont look good
I know some people might call these an over designed gundam but Inkive them do much more than the boring ass shit we got got SS so far. And O usually like Pokemon designs regardless of their games, like Mimikyu became one of my favourite designs despite me hating SM.
>Pokefags shitting up YKW4 threads right now
Why are they so scared?
*I love
Mobile phone shit
Of course
pokemon fans hate other games of the genre just because they are not pokemon
New game on mobile, will hopefully renew interest in Medabots so it can take its rightful place
It's honestly pathetic tbqhfampai
oh shit it's on switch and pc
After this is a newDigimon Story game too, so typical 3D JRPG
The adventure movie might be ok. It's only 1 movie and won't be dragged out anyways
Da fuq? This is still a thing? What have they been doing all this time?
Idk, but Medabots came back this year. New fan club, new you-tube channel, Medarot R gets fan English translation, and it was recently the 20th anniversary
If you mean the digital monster x2 or whatever its called that's coming out this month it'll probably be about $60 if you preorder it from an ebay seller or get it early enough, the prices on them go up really quickly.
>le cyber universe and le japanese folklore
Cringe like that can't replace pokemon. They need to make something as good amd comfy as the idea behind pokemon.
Okay. This the one?
Yessir
confirmed for not having played yokai watch, the games are peak comfyness.
digimon survive is going to be comfy.
YW3 is already out though
Yeah, like Medabots
Yes, both of them.
Oh fuck for real? I had taken a break due it feeling like it would never come out. Thank you user i know what i'll be doing for the rest of the week.
It's been out for a while. Since physical copies are rare you'll probably want to go digital
Shooting was so fucking bad.
>different shot type for each tribe, but only shady sniper/slippery seeker were actually worth using
>RNG whether you get harm or befriend
>can't even cancel out of it early if you get hurt when you want to befriend so you have to wait the whole duration
>then wait longer with a stalling team out for it to recharge so you can try again
FUCK
YOU
O
U
>visual novel with tactics
>comfy
World 1 is peak.
I like it too but it's almost dead as far as I know.
just go dragon quest monsters if you want something as good and comfy at the same time
That will probably be the plan, i have plenty of space on my 3DS too since the only games i have for it are Animal Crossing, Monster Hunter Stories, and the Youkai Watch games.
Brawlhalla
