Yo-Kai Watch is a Japanese game, anime and manga. It is based on old Japanese legends about Yo-Kai Creatures roaming the Earth. The Yo-Kai Watch is a device that allows humans and Yo-Kai to communicate. The watch can also summon Yo-Kai as you befriend them. The games are for the 3DS and 4th one is coming out in Japan for the Switch (no american announcement). The anime is on Disney XD and they have a YouTube channel that it won't let me link so I'll add spaces in between each letter

It's just a fun game that is cool. And if you start saying it's a pokemon rip-off you sound like a fucking boomer.
Guy 1: I don't like yo-kai watch.

Me: I respect your opinion

Guy 1: it's just a pokemon rip off

Me: Dude the only resmblance is that it has catchable monsters. That's like comparing Mario to Sonic, think before you speak.

Guy 1: Huh.....I guess that's true

A cool and underrated franchise that got the short end of the stick in the U.S.
Comparing yo-kai watch to pokemon is like comparing moon knight to batman

A Japanese anime series that was once dubbed as "the pokemon killer", produced by Level-5 (the same people that did Inazuma Eleven and Professor Layton). It takes the Japanese folklore creatures (aka. youkai) and makes them into a more cartoon-ish look more suited to kids. (AND I CANNOT THINK HOW GOOD JIBANYAN IS. They make him like the Pikachu of the series, imo.)

May also relate to the the most inferior thing the US has ever seen, the US dub of the original anime (which ran for 2 great seasons, and the embarrassing third one exclusive to Disney XD (US ONLY) with a new production company). This results in mass disappointment, which Japan is making them the laughing stock by having their third game in the 3DS (game is currently japan-only, but coming soon to international release) series by introducing "merican yo-kai".

Also corresponds to the worst toy line by Hasbro (which btw, is still inferior to the japanese Bandai merch available), now selling in dollar stores for around $1-4.
guy 1: yo-kai watch is a ripoff of pokemon
guy 2: boi, how can you tell?
guy 1: take a look for yourself
guy 2: *after watching a couple of the us dub episodes* wtf is this shit? it almost looks so similar.
guy 1: told you. I just don't like their voices, imo. It sounds so off...
