Yo Pokemon Watch!?

[RyuSaarva]

Calm down man, its a game aimed at kids. Its already "casual".


@DragonFlyy ah thanks. I thought ey had publishing rights or something.
Pretty funny though

kids are more hardcore than adults.

We call them Yokaimon in our FC.

My FC mates are now referring to Yokai as 'catching Pokemon' and 'Pokemon hunting', it really is the Walmart version :P

Look up the history of this event's creation before you complain why Pokemon isn't a collaboration instead, I doubt FFXIV is even on Nintendo/Game freaks radar.

Personally I would have preferred a Professor Layton (hildibrand?) or Ninokuni event (both of which created by Akihiro Hino, i.e. the guy in charge of this event), but thats up to level 5

That brings me back LOL

I feel like an XIV in-game version of the Pokemon Go app in astrochronometer* directing players to locations out of the way to find rare Pokemon, participate in landmark defense like gyms using them, and some light crossover with Lords of Verminion would have been a much better event than the Yo-Kai's crossover of grinding hundreds of FATEs with nothing interesting added.

*Whatever they want to name it. Who build it? Cid, machinist's guild, a new wandering NPC who suddenly appeared in Eorzea, etc.

The games honestly have very little in the way of Pokemon resemblance.

Really, they're more like the Dragon Quest Monster series than anything else.

This. I really hate the conflation of Yokai Watch and Pokemon, the series are are only really comparable in the collecting and "Monster" aspects. Trying to say "LOL is this the new pokemon??" just puts a weird mark on a silly kinda new series.

Cause Pokemon would cost too much to license.
