Yo-kai watch but no Pikachu? Yeah, I was wondering about that too. Maybe Nintendo and/or GameFreak was a bit too overprotective of their IP, or they set the price to use it too high. Doe posted... Not the lineup I would've chosen It's basically a lineup of Japan's most popular anime franchises.

I take it that's a Precure character on the right? I like it when they use anime characters to advertise irl locations because there's usually a pic of that exact spot they're in.

Maybe Nintendo and/or GameFreak was a bit too overprotective of their IP, or they set the price to use it too high. Yeah, TPCI can be really stingy. Hell, there's a paranoid part of me that's expecting them to pull their IP out of Smash Bros. at some point as well. Yeah, Nintendo owns Pokemon, but TPCI has shown that it does its own thing independently from Nintendo. I believe even Sakurai once said that they were a pain to deal with. --- Be wary of boarding the hype train, lest you end up on the ruse cruise... - nanobuilder (r/nintendo) http://backloggery.com/SolarCrimson ...

I take it that's a Precure character on the right? Indeed, that's the main character of the most recent installment, Hugtto Precure. Which has been amazing, by the way. It may not have much of a foothold in the west (since almost none of the series are licensed) but Precure is huge in Japan. One of Toei's biggest money makers. Solar_Crimson posted...

Shin-chan and Astro Boy are like... two of the most historically popular anime there lol. I lived in Korea as a kid and literally watched Shin-chan everyday, and my parents watched Astro Boy all the time even when TV was scarce back then
Although lol Yokai-Watch over Pokemon is pretty lolsy. Maybe there's a video game line up, though I'd think it'd be like 90% Nintendo --- "Iwata was awesome" - Mr. Nintendo https://imgur.com/JGJqvwW ... Copied to Clipboard!

That's the only one I had never heard of either. I like anime but I am far from a hardcore fan. The fact that I immediately recognized all but two, and have heard of Yokai Watch, says that they picked a pretty widely recognizable lineup. --- "History is the road map and without it there is no way to navigate the future." - George Wunderlich ...

I lived in Korea as a kid and literally watched Shin-chan everyday, and my parents watched Astro Boy all the time even when TV was scarce back then Even when I lived in Korea not that long ago, I would see Shin-chan (or Jjanggu) on TV quite often. I would sometimes watch it because it was midly entertaining even for an adult and gave me material to practice following along in Korean that wasn't a drama (both changing up the content/style and making it easier to comprehend more of it). I never personally saw Astro Boy on TV when I was in Korea but I knew it had been popular there and talked to many people who used to watch it. I think widespread popularity and success abroad is the reasoning for this lineup. This poster is obviously in Japanese but I think highlighting successful franchises from the country is something big for domestic marketing, especially for events like the Olympics, and it's possible they will make foreign-language versions of this ad with the same image. --- "History is the road map and without it there is no way to navigate the future." - George Wunderlich ...

I remember seeing ads for shin chan and astro boy everywhere as a kid. Never saw it myself though. Doraemon always seemed bigger than shin chan though and is more photogenic. Yeah. I think Doraemon is more iconic than Shin Chan and generally used more in promoting Japan. Doraemon was even featured at one point in the textbooks I used when learning Japanese. I agree Doraemon is more photogenic and I also think more suitable for merchandising. While I have seen some Shin Chan merchandise, I've seen much more Doraemon merchandise. --- "History is the road map and without it there is no way to navigate the future." - George Wunderlich ...
