Jibanyan the Charm Yo-Kai for DLC! (Move to the new discussion thread in NintenZone subforum!)

[BandanaWaddleDee]

Actually the merchandise starts beginning 2016, hasbro stated it in the early video.
I hope next year is actually the Year of Yokai. :O

Any reason why your avatar keeps changing?

Because I can't stop getting hyped for Yokai Watch. o____o

Are you hyped to the point where you want to sing the Geragerapo intro?

I played the song about 50+ times today since the announcement.
Literally couldn't control myself over the excitement of Geragerapo actually being used.

Gifs to prepare for Yokai Watch's release.

Anyone has a favorite Yo-Kai or two other than the obvious Jibanyan? This is a question that can also apply to those who don't know that much about the games.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Komasan will be the top favorite for me. Managing a giant toy company, actually finding evidence of supernatural beings, not to mention a cute design, what's not to like!

 

[BluePikmin11]

Finally found the Taissou Dachi song in English, what do you guys think?
Now I have freaking confidence this is going to be a success.

Motherfricken Orochi is the best

I also like Meramelion

If I were to pick a few favorite Yokai out of the bunch it would have to be Kyubi, because kitsune (or foxes for that matter) are always awesome.

And just when I thought most Yo-Kai wouldn't look badass, I instantly fell for this guy when I've seen him online. He might as well be considered the Freiza of the Yo-Kai Watch universe.

And then I've found Quilin. This is mostly due to bias since I loved the concept of this legendary being thanks to Monster Hunter. He looks less majestic than the MH ones and more like a force to be reckoned with just from his draconic appearance. They need to have a future episode that features him in some way.

I must be the only Yo-Kai Watch fan who doesn't like Komasan. Komajirou is fine. I just don't like Komasan.

I guess you're more of the fan who likes the badass designs, which I don't mind. I guess you find him too cute to like.

I think it's more like I have a strange sense of cute. For example, I think Swalot is the cutest Pokémon. As for Komasan, I just find him impossibly dumb at times. Anyway, this thread is for Jibanyan, not Komasan.

It's ok though, this is also Yokai Watch general discussion just like the other support threads.

Your avatar freaking changed again

 

[BluePikmin11]

I was in an argument in Smashboards, so I changed my avatar to reflect the mood.

I'm probably not going to care, but what was the argument about?

Shovel Knight. If you were curious.

Ah Shovel Knight. That stupid character who smart people know will never be in Smash, and that fanboys ride his shovel like a rock hard Onix with two Roggenrolas. Dems nice argument material

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

That double post though.

But on a serious note, does anyone expect Jibanyan to become quickly popular with Western children like Pikachu in the 90's?

With a portion of Yokai Watch's catchy songs turned to English, I have no doubts at all. With the references to American culture in the anime, it's clear they are trying to cater the American audience too.

At this point in time, I doubt it. I feel he'll become popular enough, but not as much as Pikachu.

I...don't really know. I mean, the series is just starting to boom over here in the U.S., so I'm not one to say anything. Who knows? Maybe it will, or maybe it won't. Who can say? If it does skyrocket in popularity here in the U.S., then a BIG congrats from me to Youkai Watch! Of course, in Pikachu's case, well...I'm a 90s kid. Pokemon was pretty darn hype for me back then, with 151 PKMN (and I was only 2-3 years old, mind you!) and that theme song

and the PokeRap..

.OMG. Now combine all of that with the show debuting my absolute FAVORITE children's Saturday morning block, Kids WB, and at the very least, in MY case...Nintendo, you got yourself a fan. Seriously, with a series as creative as PKMN, I can assure you all, if weren't for ONE other anime showing up on Cartoon Network around a year earlier, (which would instantly become my FAVORITE of all time, BTW) getting me hooked, I would devoted a LOT more to PKMN. BTW, the anime in question...

 

[BluePikmin11]

One of the funniest parodies I watched today.

 

[Dejime]

It was better than i thought!

And they even used Professor Lenkon's theme. I have to search it on the internet.

Wow, thank you! Can't wait to play the game but, as an European, I have to wait to 2016 T_T

Which date exactly?
When does the anime premiere for you?

 

[Dejime]

I'm from Spain, I read the game isn't released until next year,don't know exactly when, and no idea about the anime, but I'm watching it subtitled, at least.

I hope they keep the same names than the English translation, like Pokemon.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Are you enjoying the anime so far, it's extremely enjoyable for me.

 

[BandanaWaddleDee]

Oh come on! I was gonna share that!

Also, the fact that they use Gintama music pleases me a whole lot.

 

[Dejime]

Yep, I just watched ep 73 while having dinner.

Concerning Jibanyan on smash, or any representation of the games. I'd love to, but I only can see it if Nintendo pulls a "melee Roy" now that the games are close to international release.

 

[BluePikmin11]

I can see Nintendo wanting to sell some of the Yokai characters as Mii costumes.
A Komasan Mii costume would be the ****ing hype for me.

 

[Dejime]

Merameraion (Blazion now?) brawler would look pretty cool too.

 

[BluePikmin11]

By the way the Gera Gera Po song is now listed in their YouTube channel, spread the publicity.
#GiveThemGeraGeraFever

 

[BluePikmin11]

The official Yokai Watch Twitter account favorited my tweet:

Spoiler

Monge!~

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

The localization of Geragerapo is too gold. It's got that perfect rhythm of flow when in English, which is how you should always do an anime opening.

 

[Dejime]

Yep, the music is too catchy, I think this is the only anime anime I've never skipped an opening or ending.

 

[Reila]

I am more of a Layton supporter, but I wouldn't mind Jibanyan instead. I have a soft spot for cute characters as well as ghosts ^_^
