Why Yokai Watch? I know it is literally EVERYWHERE in Japan because I saw it when I was there in Matsuyama, Osaka, and Kyoto (my girlfriend lives in Matsuyama and I was visiting her). Pokémon has a lot to owe to Final Fantasy. Elemental attacks (Blizzard, Fire Blast, Thunder), items (potions, revives, etc.), and such.
For a Pokémon collaboration event, we could get the three Legendary Birds (Zapdos, Moltres, and Articuno) as flying mounts, have minions (Kanto starters Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Charmander, Mew, etc.) and weapons based on some Pokémon. The possibilities are endless. So, Pokémon or RIOT?
No Pokémon 20th Anniversary collaboration??

The relationship between level 5 and the xiv development team is really quite good from what can be seen, and this likely came about as a request from level 5 than something that the dev team pursued. Game freak/Nintendo have no interest in xiv, but there is a precedent, that if the same pieces had fallen into place with that company, then perhaps we could have.
Having said that, I wish we had gotten a Ni no kuni event instead of a yokai watch one. While I love the amount of content this event has, thematically, I feel that ni no kuni fits more with a fantasy environment -

The Yokai one just seems tacky.

Because SE doesn't want us to create a pikachu army. (~°-°)~

As Lambda already mentioned, the connection between SE and Level 5 is pretty strong. Level 5 even helped develop Dragon Quest VII. In contrast Nintendo only localized the DQ games after SE thought they were unviable in the west.
At the same time, Once cannot forget that Nintendo and SE would also have a connection as well, being the console of choice for the first 6 FF games, the first DQ games and spin off of both titles and Kingdom hearts. But the connection is rather strained by the fact that there were no FF numbered titles since VII. Plus a Pokemon crossover would be just as ridiculous as the Yo-Kai watch one
Disney has a strong enough connection to SE that a Kingdom heart event would had been feaseable...if not for the multiple licensing involved and the possibility of Hydaelyn losing to darkness regardless of the Ascians or not (after all, there were no FF worlds in KH, only characters)
Regardless, I'm still looking forward to the event -

Nintendo and Square are kind of on an iffy relationship.

04-30-2016, 02:33 PMKotemonI always under stood it being that "a lot" of bridges were burned down between Nintendo and Square at the time around the format release for the N64. But that the issues went further back into the SNES and currently is a thinly spun relation ship since early-mid 2000's. Aside from that I can't think of or narrow down enough Pokemon minions to match every job in FFXIV.Quote:

And that was just off the top of my head. If I put more thought into it, I could do way better, and use less legendaries! I feel like I nailed PLD, MNK, WHM, NIN, BLM, & BRD though
Eorzea couldn't contain the awesomeness of a Pokemon collab -

Yoshi and the Level 5 CEO know each other, seem to be great friends and the latter isn't the CEO of the company SE pretty much ditched for Sony back in 1998 or so. The success of VII and the subsequent iconic factor has caught a rather deep wound that would ensure and that Nintendo and SE's relationship would never go past a professional level (in Japan at least)
Wouldn't matter if the crossover was with Neptunia, MLP, Touhou, Undertale or even Spaceballs instead, it would still be far more likely than anything Nintendo related (Bar Bravely Default for obvious reasons) -

Then I realized with so many sub choices and alternate choices some are just a hard fit or hard to narrow down like Blaziken, Emboar, Ursaring, or an Owl for Sch . Does it fit the job, match the look, or associates an existing element? I mean that's 700+ to choose from and 600+ with out the legends. Heck you could even give a bat to either Dark or Nin, or Zoroark to Nin. Although Darkrai does make some sense since its shadow like and matches the job story line. -

Sylveon is primarily a cleric, but can also do some serious deeps if you spec it right. Plus it's a fairy!
Though the sad truth of it is they'd plaster pikachu, charizard and lucario over everything like they always do. I'd be down with a Charizard mount though, even if my toon is based off the Dragon type trainer Zinnia -

Cloud is in Smash Brothers, so I can see a Nintendo promo someday. Probably not pokemon specifically though, because Pokemon Company is slightly separate from the rest of Nintendo for various reasons, and Gamefreak is only a second party company for Nintendo. The only jarring issue I could see against Mario and Luigi hats is that I can't think of any other Nintendo stuff ever appearing within a PS3/PS4 game.
