>>37407280Youkai Watch was ridiculously popular in Japan last time I checked, kids fuckin loved it there. And it was honestly kinda popular here with a younger audience for a little bit, due the mobile game and anime being on Disney XD.
But if GameFreak doesn't bring something on this level with Gen 8, then I can't imagine any future Pokemon game ever being good.
I hope to fucking god GF puts some actual effort in with Gen 8, the Switch is such a perfect console for Pokemon to reinvent itself.
