Why didn't Generation 7 of Pokémon resonate with Japan? It's certainly not my favorite either, but it was absolutely better than Sword and Shield.

They already liked Yo-kai Watch, so they had no use for a shitty ripoff of it.

I love the absolute dominance DQ3 has had in these pools even if it slipped to Dragon Quest 5 for a while.
Pokemon is always getting guest artists these days so I am impressed they haven't ever done anything with Toriyama

The Yo-Kai Watch people are correct, although phrasing it in an incredibly stupid way. Japanese kids in the nostalgia window for Sun and Moon were likely more into Yo-Kai Watch at the time. It's pretty much the only time Pokemon's ever had anything that could actually compete with it directly. It was just milked hard and fast, so it died by the time Sword and Shield happened and left Sun and Moon the only generation affected.

How did Yokai Watch fumble the one chance to topple Pokemon? Was that chance real to begin with with or just wishful thinking from those who wish to see Pokemon fail?

I'm glad DQ 3 and 5 still get lots of love, they are great games. As much as I also like 4, 7, 8, 9 and 11, my favourites have always been 3 and 5.

Unironically, too edgy. Nips hated the darker themes, it's why a lot of stuff got toned down or made cheerier in USUM like Lusamine being a dindu nuffin

Level 5 are extremely retarded.
It's not just YW. Go through their history and you'll notice how hard they've fumbled every single success they've had.
The most common pattern seen is that they simply oversaturate the market, they push their advantage way too hard, and get people sick of the thing because of how hard it gets shoved down their throats.

I do have noticed that the only people hard into SM are either Japanese Lillie lolicons and western, now manchildren, who had SM as their first games.

>Garbage Z moves with cringe poses after megas

>Game visually looks good but has the same problem as all modern games where cities and routes are just a hallway
>No pokemon that's genuinely popular outside of rowlet and kanto regionals (vulpix)
>Yokai watch
What it really has going for it is the abundance of lolis which surprisingly (in a good way) isn't enough for it to make the list at all. Impressed, maybe Japs aren't as loli obsessed as I thought. I remember being really hyped for SM during release period. Probably my favorite release period ever, however the game itself didn't really live up to it even if I did have a good time with my first playthrough. Dropped it really quick and didn't even bother picking up USUM until on emulator years later

Just because something was less shit, doesn't mean it wasn't shit on an absolute scale. Every game starting with Gen 6 has been both shit, but also somehow ever worse than the previous. It's actually quite amazing the levels of depravity they need to go to to keep topping (bottoming?) themselves. There will unironically come a time when Game Freak makes a game that takes place in one bland location, runs like shit, has a small roster of only returning Pokemon, and has no multiplayer features. It's not a matter of if, but when.
