Yo-Kai Watch does not aim to overthrow Pokémon. Where did everybody get that? It won't replace Pokémon, or even have the same sucess that Pikachu and friends has, because this is not the 90s and 20 years of history can't be simply ignored. I think it's time we all stop comparing the two franchises. It's for the best.
We can get a lot of similar shooters, platformers, fighting games, RPGs, etc, but when it comes to monster collecting Pokémon is the only one with the right to exist and be sucessful? That doesn't make sense and it's plainly unfair.
Why choose one over the other? I love both, I'll keep buying and enjoying both.
@Ralizah I'm sorry but that's not a good argument. We can get into cultures that don't even exist or are extinct (like a lot of sci-fi and fantasy) but then it is so hard to identify with something that actually exist on this planet? Oh, wait, but he have anime and stuff like Naruto that is very, very japanese and really successful as well, so we can actually get into things like that.
This is so exciting! The sequels are so much better than the first game, adding online battling, improving the befriending system, bigger town and... I just can't contain my excitement.
