Miku will continue to exist as long as people continue to use her to produce music. Touhou will exist as long as ZUN keeps making games (and the secondary scene will continue to exist as long as circles keep making books). Pokemon... they're not going to stop milking that any time soon.

Not really. Youkai is gaining tons of popularity in Japan but is nowhere near Pokemon's level of popularity. At least not yet. If anything, they're co-existing since Youkai Watch anime is animated by the same studio as Pokemon, both have connections to CoroCoro, and both have games on the 3DS.

>> No.12335775

the whole point of touhou is that the characters barely had any personality, but the fanbase gave the characters parings, arts and personalities.

its about the fanbase doing whatever the fuck they want with the characters, the more empty they are, the more you can add to them.

the entire scarlet mansion for example, was bland as fuck in the original game, now they are overflowing with character, lore and art, all because the fans pumped it in.

Not him, but for one, Kancolle is NOT P2W. You can win without paying; you pay only if you want to catch 'em all. And even then you don't need to constantly pump in money.

For another, those trolling are likely Touhou haters, but they're unlikely to be Kancollefags. Most Kancollefags know the flaws of their game inside out (though I see the "flaws" as ultimately beneficial), and thus would not bother to compare Kancolle to Touhou.

I don't want anything to do with any fanbases. Also I think it's just incredibly lazy for a creator to basically make his viewers do the rest of the world building for themselves. It pretty much shows they have no real drive to flesh the characters out themselves so they just leave stuff vague for the others to figure out because they simply cannot be bothered.

Said creator is doing quite a bit of world building himself. He's just really lax when it comes to community-created content and the fans use that as an excuse to rewrite character personalities or exaggerate certain traits until they're all that's left of the original.

It's hardly surprising that people would start to lose interest in Pokemon games that came more than a generation or two after their first one, given that the series consists of the same game over and over but with shinier graphics and more Eevee evolutions.

all of the Hoenn Fanboys(gen 3) was so,SO dissapointed when they found out that the new game that was coming was a new region and gen.

Once the Gen 3 Remakes are made, we have to wait for the Gen 4 (Diamond/Pearl) remakes.

The majority of people who liked Touhou or produced content for it were dirty secondaries, Touhou is pretty bland as far as games go compared to real shmups. The only good part about Touhou was the music as far as the games go.


>Kancolle is RNG garbage. Any retard can do anything if he sinks enough time.
It's a browser game, trying to compare the two is retarded my point is Touhou only got popular because of the girls and secondary content.

>Not to mention designs are getting sluttier and sluttier to keep people interested. Kancolle will stay popular for maybe a year more. It's just going to burn out.
Shimakaze is by far the sluttiest ship still though.

>They are already running out of ships and events are just pathetic.
You have no idea where they'll take the franchise, they've still got the whole rest of the German navy to add and they could add Allied ships too.

>But then Kadokawa started their retarded milking and pandering. Marriage bullshit was the beginning of the end.
Marriage is more just a reason to make the game actually make money, you do realize it's a f2p browser game that's hugely popular with lots of servers but with no actual need to buy anything? You're complaining about a company trying to make profit here, it's pretty retarded. When the end result is more content for the consumer why do you care?

While I mostly agree with these 2 points:

>>12387289
>Midway is the most well-received event to date.
As an actual player I can't really agree with that; there's no Shinano or Ibuki which was hyped for the event, so it was pretty disappointing for most of the playerbase.

Still, it wasn't too difficult and the rewards and drops weren't half bad, so it's not like it was poorly-received either.

Man, I'm like, beyond caring about the prize ships, they'll come eventually. The mechanics are good so I could care less about the rewards - although I guess I'm in a definite minority here.

The combine fleet mechanic was the best thing about Midway, mostly destroyers was disappointing and Unryuu needing blueprints and no planes before refit I just found insulting.

Touhou is a labor of love, coming from one man and built up by devotion from fans. Kancolle is, at its heart, simply an attempt to cash in on the moe craze. It may be growing steadily and have a large and devoted fanbase, but eventually, interest will peter out, and as soon as it stops generating cash, it will be dropped and die.

It's a prediction, and I think a reasonable one. It's a free-to-play game. It's made to generate cash. That's how it works. If it stops generating cash, it dies. That, too, is how things work.
