Pokemon Sun/Moon. Youkai Watch 3 is going to be a close one, but Pokemon still has the upper hand.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

While Yokai Watch will have a chance, I think Pokemon Sun and Moon will win.We really need to see what both brings to the table(new things I mean), but Pokemon will probably have the advantage of releasing on a new hardware, which will increase the hype tenfold.But we will see

3DS is new hardware? Since when?

New new 3DS XL!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Jokes aside, what I meant is, when they next show the game, it may run in the NX, and while they surely will show footage in the 3DS hardware, the footage from the stronger hardware may make people more excited for the game(than they would with footage from the 3DS), and may be more willing to buy the game, even if it means to buy in the 3DS.Kinda confusing my reasoning, so i hope you understand!

Bumping in case anyone else wants to weigh in.

Also yeah, an important thing to note is that Yokai Watch 3 is slated to release during the summer, while the other three will likely be Oct-Dec. releases, which could give YW3 somewhat of an edge.

Pokemon but Yokai will make this interesting.



                                                                                     

Pokémon Sun/Moon for sure. Yokai will probably be number 2, unless something dramatic happens.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Pokemon is #1 in Japan, and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
