They're all about the cash-in and drop. It's kinda sad, but that's how Level 5 is. They'll wring out all they can from an IP and then just drop it when it's no longer profitable. I imagine Yokai Watch will die in 2-3 years. Only reason it's kept up like this is the anime popularity. Takes a lot for a kids show to surpass Pokemon.


I dont know... i have started seeing a bunch of YW merchandise stroes pop up around Japan. They are not quite as varied in their item selection as Pokemon stores but it was still pretty surprising to see.

Die is too strong of a word. It's popularity will diminish greatly and it will become a much smaller series.



"We'll toss the dice however they fall,
And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Oh please, Pokémon is just as milked and still lives strong.

Pokemon doesn't receive new sequels once a year. At leas the main entries are spread out over 2-3 years.

Pokémon X/Y in 2013, Pokémon ORAS in 2014, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon in 2015 and new mainline Pokémon in 2016 (they're not going to skip the 20th anniversary).

You were saying?

There will be a 2 year time gap between Yo-kai Watch 2 and 3.

The Yo-kai Watch sequels add more new things than Pokémon has ever done.

that 99M views though. Anyway, Yokai can help the Wii U in Japan even it is just a dance game.

X/Y -> Mainline Pokemon is 3 years. That's different than Yokai Watch. The only reason YW3 is pushed so far back is because they opted to released 2.5 + 3 spin offs before YW3.

You get one or more Pokémon games every year. It's not any different than Yo-kai Watch. Pokémon ORAS is also a mainline Pokémon game.
