Yokai Watch – Page 9 – Ananke's Stuff

shadowgoo:

i feel like one of the things that distinguishes yokai watch from pokemon (apart from literally everything about the game’s execution and premise) is just how unabashedly fucking WEIRD the series isn’t afraid to get

like any time pokemon does something weird and creative like making a garbage bag or a sentient keychain into a pokemon the fandom complains to no end but in yokai watch that’s just like 80% of the game’s entire bestiary. almost every goddamn thing you encounter is some weirdly specific bizarre thing like a wall that makes you stubborn, a fish with a knife who holds grudges for no reason, a floppy katana that makes people lazy, etc etc

and thats not even getting into how goddamn weird and creepy the plot itself can get. everyone talks to no end about lavender tower and ghost girls but pokemon’s never had you fight a giant horrible-faced naked man from the top floor of a construction site at night, have you fleeing giant ogre monsters in a greyed-out nightmare version of your hometown, or deal with a lunatic doctor monster who straight up tries to cut your heart out of you

basically i feel like most pokemon fans would dislike it because the game’s entire aesthetic and vibe is meant to be more goofy and weird than pokemon’s general adventure tone, but if you’re a guy who’s always liked the weirder pokemon designs or just weird-ass monsters in general its pretty much a dream come true

I don’t care if he’s the butt monkey in the anime and the later games(?)

I still love my ghost butler with all my heart

~~even though I can’t draw him to save my life~~

Sorry for the lack of updates! My sister is visiting and I’m getting ready for the new school semester in just a couple of days, so I’ve been pretty busy. Have a drawing that was more or less drawn from pure stress. :’3c
