Before going, I had fish-sticks for lunch and I was eating in on my lap while sitting in my bed, still in my casual clothes. While I was eating it I was watching that video of yours.

Actually, Pokemon Sun/moon outsold Yokai Watch 2 20-to-1 in their first weekends in France according to my research. 400k vs YW2s 20k. YW2 has sold 140k copies across Europe, meaning that Pokemon Sun/Moon nearly tripled its sales in France alone. The anime also dropped off the Nielsen ratings several months ago, with shows like DBS and SnK kicking its behind like nobody's business. Netflix is helping, I'm sure, but we'll have to see.

I’m going to be real with you, the marketing seriously turned me away. At Th time Yo-Kai watch began airing on Disney XD I was 12. I was certainly interested, it gave me a Pokémon vibe so it felt familiar. But that god awful marketing really pushed me away, I was an anxious socially awkward 12-year-old. Playing a game, or even watching a show that people knew as “that one bad show with fart jokes” was definitely not an image I wanted for myself. So I avoided it. Now I’m more knowledgeable on the franchises source material. So I want to give it another shot, at a time that it is declining here in the states :/

NightKnight-77 on the up side it means a lot of the games are currently cheaper in a way, hell i went into a gamestop near my place and got a copy of the original game for 15 dollars. but from what i’ve heard we’re still getting the 3rd for the 3ds and the 4th for nintendo switch, which is moderately interesting in the case of level 5, but a very welcomed addition in my opinion though, i thought we wouldn’t get the 3rd considering everything is kinda an americanized stereotype for the game, but i will find it funny regardless if the writings done well.

Hell, Busters wasn't even announced until AFTER E3! But given that we are still going to get Busters here in the states means that Level-5 still wants the series to sell outside of Japan. I still have hope that we will get a localization of Yokai Watch 3 sometime in 2019, and if we do then I hope it'll be marketed way better compared to how they marketed the first game.

Napoli GioGio well good news my fellow yokai watch enjoying friend, we are getting the 3rd game in 2019, and the switch is getting a 4th. so for me as long as the writing is still top notch i have no reason to not buy it. i already have enjoyed the others, nothing is stopping my hype train yet! woot woot.

even in asia yokai watch stuff is slowly dying.Korean yokai watch wib wob has been offline since 20/07/17 and also most stores that have yokai merch are trying to sell them as quickly as possible by discounting as high as 70%.Well its been awesome learning Japanese folklore from yokai watch 😔😔🙁

I love both Pokemon and Yo-kai Watch. sure I prefer Pokemon, but I found the second games (Bony Spirits, Fleshy Souls, and Psychic Specters) Really fun. both are great games altogether, and if you havent played Yo-kai Watch, I recommend you play it.

Well... We did get the dream in the English dub of the show, so maybe we’ll get the watch itself? EDIT: Also, I heard that (maybe from a certain American youtuber getting noticed idk tho (Abdallahsmash026)) busters and possibly Yo-Kai watch 3 are being released here in America! I’m exited and hope that this comes true!

One thing I hated was that for season 3: No merch in the us (even though it was designed) They changed the va’s They didn’t give us a satisfying ending (just a standard episode (though admittedly it was a good one)) They did this weird thing where the characters Would pause on the middle of a scentence

I actually severely doubt that. Despite the obvious angle of its appeal, it's pretty guilty of some stereotyping. I mean "O-BAGAH" is a mashup of two American stereotypes: Hamburgers and "Oh My God!"

You're just stupid, its not a rip-off of Pokemon, its based off of japanese myth from 200 years ago, You don't CAPTURE Things in a ball, and you can use 3 (at a certain time) in one battle.
