y'know something that took me years to realize. you know that one piece of art for 1.

this one. idk where it's from but it's like everywhere.

i only realized semi-recently that it uses the japanese logo for everymart/yoroz mart despite everything else being in english. i don't know why.

Today, July 11th, marks the 10th anniversary of the initial Japanese release date of the original Yo-kai Watch, considered the anniversary of the whole series by Level-5! While it has a very simple plot, with not much buildup happening until the end, it establishes many foundations for the series, as you play as Nate or Katie and meet many Yo-kai - including Whisper, Jibanyan and Komasan - and eventually have to stop Chairman McKraken's takeover of the Yo-kai World.

yokai watch (2013) + a totally legit picture of your heart

#nocturne hospital still freaks me out btw #it’s been like. nearly a year since i first played yw1 and i’m still not over it #yokai watch #level 5 #nintendo 3ds #3ds #2013 #2010s #shantien uploads

"yokai watch is just a pokemon ripoff/clone/'we have pokemon at home'-"

THE YOKAI WATCH TRILOGY IS SERIOUSLY ONE OF THE BEST RPG TRILOGYS ON THE 3DS AND RAN POKEMON AROUND IN CIRCLES. JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN COLLECT AND BUILDUP A TEAM OF MONSTERS IN YOUR GAME DOESNT MEAN ITS A RIPOFF. ITS LIKE CALLING SONIC A "MARIO RIPOFF" WHEN THEY ARE BOTH VERY DIFFERENT

#rubys clown thoughts #god annoying nintendo fans in 2015 calling yokai watch a ''pokemon ripoff'' is what killed momentum for it in the west #im glad all 3 games got localized but man. it deserved so much more respect #with level 5 making a comeback on switch they should at least localize yw1 on switch be #before yw4. if they localized yw4 first instead of yw1 they are asking to bomb themselves #idk yw only has a tiny cult community in the west compared to professor layton

no joke I am bitter about how Level-5 has been handling Yokai Watch and honestly... a good number of their other beloved IPs so McKraken getting a crumb of appreciation in a gacha game like Yokai Watch Puni Puni is just surreal. like.

when the biggest thing for the 10th anniversary of the release of the first game of the series... is this. it's a bit sad.

but c'mon it's squid man in a cool fit. he got the drip. he really is the most stylish yokai in the entire Yokai World!

#it’s funny asf but I’m also wondering if this is a time travel glitch #I’ve time travelled before in yw1 for the crank a kai & never had this happen #yokai watch #🔩.my twisted mind

[smtfaggot]

omg actually fuck Dokapon level 5 might be returning to the west 💙

#although aside from yw4 idk what they’ve put out that hasn’t come stateside ? #and the yw1 remaster on switch .. #hm #whatever I still want a fantasy life 2 although I know it’s just not happening lol #not even if they return stateside bc that’s unrelated to a return to old ips 😔

speaking of smash mods and yokai watch, here's the set of Jibanyan alts I made. Model is from YW4, textures are from YW4 and YW1 (though everything but the first were edited by me)

Morganatic Idol Prologue 2/10

A few days later...

Female employee 1 (FE1): MC, analyze this data!

FE2: Please bring up the results of this web survey! ASAP!

FE3: Help me collect my materials! Hurry!

MC: Yes!

Ever since the news of the competition came out, the employees have been strangely excited

All the work I'm given is to research Exe Creed

(Everyone is working really hard on their plans. I can't afford to lose either)

Although I think so, I am unable to find any time to think about my own plans due to the constant work that comes my way

(I have to do something!)

On my day off, I went downtown

(If I can't do it on weekdays, I'll have to try on my holidays!)

(Today is the release date of the Exe Creed's new song. At the same time, a special limited edition MV will be played in the city)

(I hope you can come up with some good ideas by looking at it)

The time when the limited MV will be played was announced on the group's SNS

(It's almost time...)

Everyone is waiting for the right time. And then... Exe Creed suddenly appeared in the large vision

Females: Yay!!!

(Wow, great cheers!)

On the screen, the members are singing and dancing along with high-level images

Young woman 1 (YW1): Oh no! Isn't the limited MV the best!?

YW2: It's so cool! I'm so happy to see it on the big screen!

It was definitely a great MV. You can see that everyone is captivated by them and enthusiastic about them

MC: ...

I've been researching them a lot lately, so I have a lot of information about their songs, history and members

(Jace is unrivaled in his splendor)

(Finn steals attention with his wild dance)

(Hugh moves like a precision machine)

(Ivy, the leader who brings together everyone's individuality)

(And... Xeno who has a overwhelming presence)

It's really amazing...

Their brillance captivates people

(I don't know much about singing or dancing, i didn't know much about Exes until now)

(Still, I can see why they are "special". It's no wonder they are so popular but...)

While many women stopped and stared at them, I felt something was off

(I wonder what it is? It's a perfect visual and It's a great song and dance but... I feel like something is missing)

MC: What's missing...?

I continued to stare at them intently

The camera takes a close-up shot of Xeno and his gaze turns toward me

MC: !

The moment I was pierced by the freezing cold, I felt like something came to my mind

(This is it! I have to write down my current idea...!)

I frantically ran my pen across the notepad

A strong wind blows at just the righ moment

MC: Wow...! Oh, the memo!

When the paper leaves my hand, it flies away and disappears somewhere in the blink of an eye

(Oops! It's already too late to take it back)

Giving up, I write down the idea on another piece of paper and quicly turn on my heel

(Let's go home quickly. I have to give form to this feeling before I forget it!)

At the same time...

There were men watching her from a place a little away from the street vision

???: That child just looked at the video with an amazing look on her face

???: That's how much she was captivated by our perfomance, right?

???: I hope so. Anyway, It seems like the response has been better than expected. I guess it's a successful promotion

???: ... so many people

???: ... Ah, I understand the situation. Enough inspection before this vision

???: Okay, everyone, get in the car. We don't have much time until the next recording

The sound of paper rustling beneath his feet takes his attention

???: Huh? Something got caught in my leg... memo?

???: Isn't that the same paper that child wrote on earlier?

The man who picked up the note read the words written on it and his eyes widened slightly

???: ... !

???: what's up?

???: No, it's nothing. I just thought I saw something interesting. Hehehe

???: I don't really get it, but it looks like it's going to be fun

I roast judge you based on your favorite YW main antagonist

McKraken/Ikakamone (YW1) :

You play Splatoon like it’s your entire personality. You’re also a purist-

Dame Dedtime/Tokito Ubaune (YW2/M01) :

That one scene from the first movie traumatized you.

The Ghoulfather (YW3) :

You…You really relate to him, don’t you ?…I’m sorry pal…I-I don’t know what to say about that…I feel you…

But still, you memorized all the "Godfather"’s script.

Whaleman and Minami (M03) :

Oh O-O

Didn’t expect to see someone who liked the live action movie but here we are !

Oni King Rasen (M04) :

STANDING HEEEEERE I REALIIIIIZED YOU ARE JUST LIKE ME TRYING TO MAKE HISTORYYYYY 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥‼️‼️‼️

Shutendoji (M04/YWSS) :

Look, I didn’t even plan to put him on the list, due to how much of a mess his role is, but hey-

You’re down bad.

That’s all.

Shien (M05) :

You either have parental issues, kinks or both.

Soranaki/Kuuten (M05/YWSS) :

If you were in the Jujutsu Kaisen fandom,

You’d be a Sukuna dick-rider 🫵

[he-knows-all]

(Okay, lemme separate this into parts.

I've never watched Yokai.

Personally, the anime is a weaker aspect of the series, especially the later series. You honestly aren't missing out on much. (Also Hinozall is just a cameo, RIP).

I tried their games but they just weren't in my taste.

I had the same problem at first. I first had YW1, but YW1 has a bit of first game jank, in terms of Yo-kai available, mechanics, and plot. Trust me, it took me finding out about Hinozall in the first place and then playing the third game to get me hooked into the series, so I completely get it. (Yo-Kai Watch 3 is amazing by the way and I recommend it so hard; it's SO much more polished and has a fantastic Yo-Kai selection, including Hinozall himself!).

But I had an old friend who was really into it so I know a bit of the series and I knew of Hino cuz my friend obsessed about him.

Huh, it's a bit funny to hear I'm not the first to bring him up to you!

I forgot all about the series but then you popped up and I absolutely LOVE interacting with you. Idk how Hino is in the series, but I love your take on him. He seems kinda like a mentor of some kind, and I love how our interaction we have a friend ship / mentor ship blooming. It's a nice change.

Hino doesn't have much lore in canon, but even then, his positivity and general friendliness despite being a post-game superboss was a highlight to me and why I picked him up in the first place. I try to be as canon-loyal as possible, but I do perhaps lean into the dad friend angle, hehehe! I'm glad you enjoy my take!

I never spoken to you really ooc, but you seem like a nice person. You make it easy to RP with you cuz you seem to be very welcoming.

Aww, thanks! I try my best to be! Maybe you should drop into my DMs sometime!)



#3-n-a #(out of ideas)

[clownkiwi]

anyways, now that level 5 is making an actual effort in the west again, i think they should at least bring yokai watch 1 for the nintendo switch here before jumping onto yokai watch 4 localization. who knows, maybe if yw1 gets released on the switch, maybe more people will actually pay attention to the game than when it was on the 3ds during the wii u/3ds era

#rubys clown thoughts #good lord nintendo fans unfairly hated yokai watch back when it was first announced to get its american localization #solely because it wasnt smash or pokemon so yokai watch fans in the west were very few and far between #if level 5 could localize yw1 for the switch here thatd be cool tho. id love a chance to replay that game again
