Reminder that Japan considers this yesterday's novelty more iconic than Pikachu.

Is it time for the mouse to pass the torch? What should a new mascot be like?

No they dont.
Yokai watch won't surpass pokemon. It's too childish.

No, I don't believe so. YW is still popular, but they went a bit too fast with pumping out games and their popularity has decreased significantly as a result.

YW is new(er) and more Japanese than Pokemon is. There's that. Pokemon has really ascended past being "that Japanese animal thing".

Three years to go yet. Plus maybe Japan want a break from having Pikachu as a mascot for absolutely everything. The first character we saw at the unveiling was the only Nintendo character more iconic than Pikachu and Nintendo and Sega will pretty obviously have a large hand in promotion with the bi-annual Olympic video game. Do not be surprised to see more Pokélympics a bit closer to the date.

Youkai Watch is already dying at this point. Even a lot of Japs doubt Jibanyan will still be relevant by the time the Olympics start.

Tbh Level 5 is very hit or miss, so we might not. On one hand you have Professor Layton which was great, and then you have Time Bokan which flopped hard. It's possible L5 won't hit gold again before 2020.

And that bombed in Japan as hard as Yokai Watch bombed here (as evidenced by the mass amounts of Yokai Watch merch at my local dollar store). They renigged on it fast and went back to spooky Japanese mythology instead.

To be fair, it didn't bomb as so much as didn't sell gangbuster. 600,000+ sales in Japan is hardly what I called 'bombed'.

YoKai Watch picked up good momentum here when the show was on air, but as soon as we got to episode 26 and the season ended, people lost interest. Now all we have a leftover Wave 1s. If they aired Season 2 it might revitalise it, but unless there's a show on tv nobody cares.

Season 2 is already airing since like October in the US. Problem is that it's stuck behind the shitty paywall Disney XD, where shows go to die.

Time Bokan 24 isn't a real L5 thing, they just did character and mech designs for Tatsunoko

If it flopped, that's certainly a shame, it's a fun show

Time Bokan 24 is the fourth attempt to bring the franchise back after it got canceled in the mid 80s. It's never worked. The show is a beloved cultural classic, but it's too much of a product of its time.

No, the problem is that they're trying to make today's kids care about Time Bokan, a series so old their parents might not be old enough to have watched the original run.

They were asked about it in an interview. The reasoning is that they felt Pokemon was too popular worldwide, so it wasn't as closely associated with Japan as the other franchises. They only made an exception for Mario.
