Will Western gamers ever grow tired of being forced fed shooters over and over?

I get the feeling that Youkai Watch is going to flame out. Level 5 wants their money now rather than over time.

As far as Pokemon goes, I expect Nintendo to give it the full Madden treatment eventually.

Yo-kai Watch changes up the gameplay more often than Pokémon with its sequels, at least for now.
If Pokémon is still alive after 20 years of heavy milking and extreme stagnancy... Then why couldn't a Pokémon inspired game do the same?

Because of Level 5.  Next year we'll have Youkai Watch 3, then 3.5, then Youkai Watch Team Hamster, Team Alpaca, and Team Tanuki.  Meanwhile, Pokemon will only be on Wool/Cotton.

Nope, I heard the yo-kai milk is very delicious

people buy because they like it.
the games sells tons because tons of people like them.

Pokemon is slowing down definitely but it won't die out any time soon..

It is Japan. They love games like Pokemon and Final Fantasy since decades.

Add Dragon Quest to that and visual novel dating sims.

But visual novel dating sims don't sell well. :-/

We basically get main Pokémon games every year though, with a break once in a while. As for spin-offs, Pokémon is even worse in that regard. :p

Level-5 games never seem to live very long. They become phenomenons and fade out quickly due to heavy milking. 

Nintendo is a bit more resistant with Pokemon and their franchises in general, which is why we see them survive longer.

But they've never had a phenomenon like this one before. Yo-kai Watch will be harder to erase from the cultural memory of Japan simply because the game is part of that Japanese culture.

That's very true.

Granted, Yokai Watch didn't start off with nearly as big of a bang as Pokemon did back in the day, but it's still very prevelant in their culture. However, I just don't see it lasting as long as Pokemon has (20 years now). At least not as a multimedia presence.
