>>40045710>do actual Japanese KIDS know what the hell Pokemon isYes
>Is it seen as KEWL?According to the last Bandai survey before they pulled it ever since Gen 7 started kids haven't been excited about the franchise.
>you'd think that the Yokai Watch Alola format resonates with the Japan children crowdBoth Yokai Watch and Pokemon fumbled. Yokai because of Level-5 decisions that just affected the franchise, Pokemon because it tried being a Yokai Watch.
>Somehow I think that Serena wars don't exist over there since their culture is based on humbleness and allIf you're talking about shipping, people ship other characters over there but they also know Ash/Serena is it because it's the only legit pairing. If you're talking about her being liked, she's liked and usually one of the more requested companions to return.
Hope that answers your questions.
