I mean. Pokemon is killing itself just fine without them.
This shit unfuriates me so goddamn much
A game where people put effort and actually make ity look great on a console that people have lots of concern about the technical possibilities
>no sales
A new shitty rehashed instalement form the same goddamn franchise for 20+ years , from a team that cleary puts no effort and don't give a flying fuck about their games anymore
>instant massive succes, top preorders and probably crazy sales number
Fuck this shit
It looked nice sure, but Yo-kai Watch has no appeal whatsoever.
>b-b-b-but Yo-kai has more effort put into it
And it's still somehow worse than Pokemon that has no effort put into it
Says a lot about the series
It'd be great if the entire Mons genre simultaneously imploded so it could start over again
Meanwhile Pokemon will survive. Take the black pill.
This
>delayed constantly
>109 fucking yokai
>change the battle system for literally no reason
Hope level 5 finally learns the horse is dead and finally supports more Inazuma Eleven
L5 somehow milked the series even harder than tpc does with Pokemon. They only have themselves to blame for the franchise fatigue.
what happened to this shit? I thought it was selling great but now apparently it's dead.
YouGay Watch has zero western appeal. It leans too hard on the japshit.
Give me Fantasy Life 2 you fucks.
good, FUCK level 5 and FUCK hino
I'll never forgive them for what they did to TT
The same thing that happened with L5’s other big ips: they milk it for all it’s worth until people get sick of it and stop buying the games.
Or never return
Or alternatively. Bring back Medabots.
return of monster rancher when?
Yo kai watch flopped and died hard
Didn't they say they are working on some massive new game? I wonder how that's going. Or maybe I'm confusing them with Japan Studio.
not unexpected, but that doesnt mean its a bad game. im still very excited for when it comes out in english
Jade cocoon is still the best game in this genre
Pokemon doesnt just appeal to fanboys but literally braindead casuals tha dont play much in terms of games at all. If any series that tries to compete with Pokemon cant have this kind of audience, it's fucked.
sadly this.
Wait theres really only 109 yokai in this one?
correct
Mobile.
That's what they get for not making Dark Cloud 3.
Yes at launch then patch but a lot of yo kai are just re colours
Nintentoddlers
I wish. But the new pokemon game has been doing well with pre-orders. God pokemon fags are pathetic and will shill a shitty product if necessary
should've released it on steam :)
When SS sells like 15 million copies will you admit you were wrong and your shit taste and feigned outrage meant nothing?
We need to support them anons, why haven't you bought their game?
>posting mobile phone twitter screenshots is now acceptable on Yea Forums
purge this board
>That's what they get for not making another shitty game.
Should have made it vita or later ps4 exclusive
>Summer Pockets
>- 40%
>- relatively good sell-through
>- the initial shipment might be somewhat low, and sales could be front-loaded
i'm glad it's selling well, i hope the prediction is wrong and it continues to do so
>selling more than it's ever been
>killing itself
Unfortunately it will always sell no matter how shit
Fuck off, reset tranny
Itll take a lot more than mediocrity to kill pokemon. They'd have to royally fuck up way beyond any conceivable measure. Yokai watch however is a new thing and every release matters.
Most kids in the West have no idea what the hell a youkai even is.
That game was snack world and that bombed too.
Because yokai watch is an even more baby-tier then fucking pokemon. Pokemon seems to be aimed at 8-10 year olds while yokai is appealing to the 5-7 year olds.
nice projection
This isn't even news
Yo-kai always fails in japan but finds a steady fanbase in the states
Another knock-off bites the dust. It's like the late 90's again.
>Vita
Yikes. You want it to die even faster?
Also no one cares about kiddie shit on PS. Otherwise the Digimon games would have sold gangbusters.
Ironically, while really subpar, Pokemon is still the best "monster catching" game by far just below SMT.
Get a real monster collection game.
>B-B-BUT SS IS SELLING
>MUH PREORDERS
Only discord trannies push this lie
what caused it to sell so low?
And they had turn them into Pokemon rip-offs.
Fun because there's a lot of pokemon inspired in actual Youkai.
Go buy Summer Pocket instead fags, it's a masterpiece.
>bad game
>bad show
>bad movie maybe with the upcoming CGI one
Merch makes them the most revenue, but if they can't get rid of the new stuff sooner or later the demand for the old one will dry up. The same is happening to SW, without good movies the new SW merch simply isn't selling and you can only redo the Lego Millennium Falcon so many times.
It’s not pokemon
Are you still denying that the bew one is going to suddenly not sell? You know the majority of the fanbase are just braindead retards that will eat anything GF shits out?
The digi game did sell really high. That's why they shit out a low effort sequel so fast and it flopped.
Based until smogenfags come here and ruin your point
There's the new Pokemon coming? Honestly they should have released the game when the Let's go ones were a thing. Would have had a better chance.
Milked to death with like 7 games in 3 years.
they didn't "shit out" hacker's memory and it wasn't "low effort." it didn't sell well because bandai barely promoted it.
It sold like shit, it may be high compared to other vita games but it's still shit in the end.
this guy gets it
>Japanese game with hot human waifus
>Nintendo owned
>Not censoring itself for Snoy
>two genders
Tranny detected.
I want pokemon to drop dead as much as the next guy user, but pokemon will always sell unless something seriously bad happens. After pokemon go, and the new game being a mainline on console, it's going to sell whether we want it to or not. Nintendo fans are long accustomed to buying shitty rehashes of old games and have never failed to show prove it yearly
>removing Pokemon from the games doesn't count as "royally fucking up way beyond any conceivable measure"
If that ain't gonna straighten things up I don't know what will.
>Nintendo fans are long accustomed to buying shitty rehashes of old games and have never failed to show prove it yearly
Faggot dont make this a console war faggotry just because your series is dead.
If you want a good monster catching game go play monster strike on the 3ds, it's the best monster catching game of this gen.
if you don't want to get called out for buying shitty old rehashes, stop buying them.
Only Digimon can compete with Pokemon.
>they hated him because he told the truth
>best game is also the worst seller
bravo pokecucks
That is a fuck up but not to the young children that constitute 50% of their audience. I'm not saying it's as successful as its heyday but outright killing pokemon would take an absolutely catastrophic thing. Yokai watch however is new and one shit release can easily wipe the franchise out for good especially overseas where American children drift from new cartoon to new cartoon regularly. If the games dont have staying power every time they will die off.
I don't buy them. So stop lumping Nintendo fans into this shit. A lot of fags who buy pokemon probably dont even play other Nintendo games or games at all.
Go ask /vp/ for that matter. They seem to think Pokemon is the only system seller for them
>They seem to think Pokemon is the only system seller for them
lol no
Im a Nintendo fan and I dont play nu-Pokemon so fuck off.
Bro Yo kai watch on switch too. We're both in this boat you dumbfuck
Oh yes.
And no I dont play those games and there's a decent size of the Nintendo audience that dont play those games. Dont generalize.
Hahaha
Remember that guy on Yea Forums that sucked Yokai dick so hard? Swearing up and down he franchise wasn't dead?
WHERE ARE YOUUUU NOW faggot?
I used to hold so much respect for Level 5
so this....is the power....of the switch....woah....
it looks like another cheap pokemon rip off.
>bu but SOUL
it has no soul. it has "we want to cash in on the pokemon market" just like Monster Hunter Stories. it just felt list a cheap cash grab.
The problem is that devs need to realize that their series will probably never have the same aura of "casualness" that can push the series with every episode. If they know that and keep their expectations in check, then they will realize that the Monster RPG is very niche in general. Even more than RPGs
KEK. Delusional digifag
>The Pokémon killer has killed itself
Pretty much, flooded the market with too many games too quickly
>I mean.
basedboys also breath air.
1 sold incredibly well in japan and that's where the majority of the shitposting came from
2 sold okay but not as good as 1
YKW 3 is where it started petering out (in part due to hailey-anne replacing katie but i think it was moreso due to the redundancy in the gameplay), and 4 is the final sealing tag on the coffin
level 5 didn't do enough to keep people interested i guess. the core gameplay stayed the same pretty much with only a few small improvements from what i remember. 4 changed the combat but it was too late and the few people who did still care just stopped caring
unironic cringe holy fuck
please god in heaven stop posting
You wish.
Pokemon is literally Nintendo's version of COD. A shitty yearly franchise that sells a lot of copies every year during holidays.
>never liked L5's boring Pokenonsense
>always liked Layton and Fantasy Life
>Yokai is tanking while Layton Diabolical Box just got ported to mobile
Now I just have to wait until they port the first 3 games to Switch in a collection
Shut the fuck up
All they fucking have to do is give it a fun battle system. Fuck Level 5 for killing their games every fucking time.
>port the first 3 games to mobile
That's the future of Level-5
cope
quality post, retard-chan!
don't let your handler know you're on the internet without permission!
109 yokai and 30 of them are some form of Jibunyan. All cute girl yokai were cut
C-
Just look ar the similarities with COD sales.
statista.com
And tell me why isnt true.
Well it works, point n click + logic puzzles is perfect for mobile
And it's not like Pokemon Go, this is full on Layton you can play at work on your Android
They ruined it. They took a silly series about kids with some sly references to more adult stuff and start shoving that adult stuff into the focus.
It jumped the shark when they introduced Hailey so people stopped watching the series and playing the games because who wants to see a ten year old girl act like a thirty year old neet
The only thing 'perfect' for phones is sms and phone calls, maybe email.
Stop killing gaming
>>>
When the hell?
I thought there was only one, no?
The sad part of all this is that the game was literally rushed by Hino to get some sales going since Level 5 is not doing well financially.
>YKW 3 is where it started petering out (in part due to hailey-anne replacing katie but i think it was moreso due to the redundancy in the gameplay)
>the redundancy in the gameplay)
If anything, 3 is the least guilty of redundancy in gameplay.
Good. Now make a new fucking LBX and bring it to the west already.
When was the last time you left the house?
Do you know who the current sitting president is?
Do you know what year it is?
>he doesn't randomly T-pose while out in public.
today
eisenhower
1954
Yeah, because the porting a good puzzle game to an accessible platform is totally killing gaming, it's better for Layton to be a ded DS franchise that gets none of the recognition it deserves.
Fuck all the way off to the surface of the sun you fucking retard.
>porting a game to a non-gaming platform, infamous for MTX, shitty practices and incredibly low quality, is totalling killing gaming
Yes.
But it's a literal port of an actual DS game, it's essentially Layton emulated on a phone. No micros, no bullshit, just Layton. I agree with your logic user but you can't just assume a good game made by a good company will be terrible because MUH MOBILE BOOGEYMAN, that's a sign you're taking this site too seriously
>emulated on a phone
That's the problem.
Meh, there's many reason to bully you fags. We can start with you assholes always bitching about wanting ports constantly
>L5 might be going down
ALL YOU HAD TO DO
WAS RELEASE GALAXY IN EUROPE LEVEL 5
Again generalizing since my Switch caught dust somewhere in my bedroom.
she's just half-dabbing
What? But the game has so much SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL, how could it fail?
i thought that was just some headless dullahan yokai at first
How so? I run GBA emulators on my Galaxy S7 just fine and Layton is basically an old point n click, not exactly pushing the bar on performance
Plus the mobile games got an HD remaster that doesn't actually look like shit, and they added new animated scenes
I get what you're saying, Mobile is a shitty gaymin platform, but it's not all bad.
>I run game emulators on my mobile phone
You're part of the problem
You haven't explained WHY though. Why am I the murderer of gaymin for playing Golden Sun on my phone while I'm at work?
I think the p4oblem with Yokai Watch is that the environments and monsters don't really appeal to children but the characters ersonalities and designs are very childish so it turns off the older audience. They should just age up the characters and put a real story in like digimon is doing.
not him, but why is that a problem? i see nothing wrong about emulating a handheld in a phone.
Fuck Yokai Watch and give me Fantasy Life 2 and Inazuma Eleven, then I'll buy your game for sure
I think he's afraid of the fact that 'muh emulation' AKA the mustards trump card is easily possible on Chad's Android.
The only thing he would have to admit is pokemon shifted to a much more casual and shallow, albeit bigger, audience
They milked the series way too hard after the second game.
fpbp
And another one bites the dust. Meanwhile Digimon is still kicking somehow.
They can't die until Fantasy Life Switch. Please god make it happen.
>somehow
It survives thanks to mobile garbage.
Pokemon is pretty much at that point too except it barely changes the formula.
seethe, cunt
I'm a thirsty little flower you have to water me. You have to use your pee
>literally madden of pokemon clones
>suddenly sells badly
wew
Mobile gaming is pretty much where most casuals and female players reside these days. Layton's core audience. They kind of don't have much choice unless they really reinvent the wheel for the next entry user.
All the creatures are fucking gay looking
Nice shit taste, faggot.
Still too soon. If the games ends up with no legs then we can give it a funeral
Unlikely, but as far quality's concerned the series is getting closer and closer to hitting it's iceberg
The Level-5 curse: milked to death
They look better than pokemon
Well yokai watch 4 only has like 300 yokais rather than the over 600 I really dont now how many yokais are actually
>Pokefags calling other people shit taste for liking a better franchise
Well yeah. Level 5 milked it so bad that udder is spitting dust.
Toy sales are down, their attempt to revamp the anime bombed spectacularly...its time has passed.
> Pokemon is still the best
> When Dragon Quest Monsters exists
Haha, nope.
You’d think Pokémon’s blunder would give Yokai a boost but instead people are turning away from creature capture games all together
My franchise isn't fucking dead lmao
get fucked yokai niggers
Yokai mythology is too steeped in Japanese culture to have big international appeal like Pokemon.
It's a kid's game yeah? The Japanese isn't too hard to read? I don't want to wait five years for a translation
SAVE HER
In terms of quality it is, four-cloudsfag
That game was really fun. Remake when
>Literally nothing but lolicon bait
Eventually this 'genre' will basically just be Pokemon games won't it? That's fucking sad.
Does the series have any edgy cute girls like Teketeke, Kuchisake-onna, or Hachishakusama?
This genre is cursed. Honestly Pokemon is better off underperforming if it means it’s competition dies
There was no way it was going to kill Pokemon. The lack of any sort of global presence made it pretty obvious.
This unfortunately. Yokai actually require some form of intellect to get the most out of it
>Gamefreak apologists
You don't have to like (or even hate) Pokemon to see when an IP runs out of steam.
digimon has fans in the west, china, and korea while yo-kai watch only has a strong fanbase in japan. it's as simple as that.
Comparing Digimon to Pokémon because monsters is like comparing Monster Hunter to Skyrim because dragons. They're completely different franchises. Digimon also has genuinely very good and comfy games from time to time
Dragon Quest is in the same boat and it survived
Death-X-DIGImon
Praise to be undead.
>YW4 sells 100,000 first week in Japan
>Sword/Shield will sell over a million first week
Yea Forums is so retarded. Y'all are just going to keep squawking "hurr Pokémon has been killed and is dead" no matter what objective sales evidence there is that says otherwise.
Dragon Quest sells more in Japan than Pokemon dos worldwide. Its like a fucking cult over there.
Unlike all of the other Monster Tamer franchises, Pokémon requires 0 brain power to beat or enjoy. That's why so many people on Yea Forums like it.
Are you fucking serious?
>m-muuuuuuh sales
The games have been complete shit since XY and have been getting worse with each entry, you fucking faggot. That's what Yea Forums and /vp/ mean when saying Pokemon's dead. God damn, you're so fucking retarded.
>"Sales means the game is good"
Please, go back to /vp/, Masuda
>Dragon Quest sells more in Japan than Pokemon dos worldwide.
Pokémon sells eight-digits globally. Dragon Quest does that in Japan? Bullshit.
>Game delayed numerous times
>Delays ruined its movie tie-in advertising
>Final product has horrible frame rate issues
>Bugs everywhere
Regardless of what you think of Pokemon, Level-5 killed Yo-kai Watch.
Gotta come close anyway. Whats a good way to check?
Google. DQXII sold like 4 million worldwide. He's an idiot
It is actually in vogue with the jp yokai watch age group too. could be intentional
Means more than your opinion.
>DQXII
god i wish...
*ahem*
>You have to admit Nickelback is a great band
Except it doesn't. I actually have standards, unlike pokémon fans
i'd buy all the copies just to BTFO Pokèmontards
I'm sure Game Freak and Nintendo care about what Internet posters say vs. actual sales. Go be retarded somewhere else, you're boring.
