I hate to break it to people hoping for american cyptids or folk heroes or whatever from youkai watch, but if you watch that trailer you'll get a sense for the kind of monster design they're going for and it's not that. It's more "things we think of as american, personified as monsters!"
Some cultural ideas that japan probably associates with the USA, based on their being used as themes for monsters:
-corn
-hot air balloons
-chickens
-maracas and dancing?
-that preppy/nautical way of wearing a sweater over your back like a cape
-wearing your jeans halfway down your legs
-boxing
-baseball
-afros
-elton john??? 70s pop stars in general I guess?
-rudolf the red-nosed reindeer
-film noir detectives
-blond little girls
-lemonade
-minnie mouse's outfit
-blond little girl dolls
-alligators
-the american stereotype of australians where they look like crocodile dundee (this one is my favorite)
-cheerleaders
-dinosaurs
-fairy godmothers
-sea explorers ala columbus
-american-style birthday parties
-steaks
-caped superheroes
-delicious, delicious hamburgers
-cars
-bacon
-1920s-style newspaper reporters
Fair enough, Japan

Pleage Understand.
Why I fear the ocean.
i also think this is true
the man looks like...some kind of dried fruit. Although maybe the weird basement lighting isn't helping??
Even if I feel like all of their output this year has been completely underwhelming
But I have a feeling Woolly World will turn it around, as well as whatever fall game they have planned
Because, they have one
Hopefully they have one big non-Star Fox non-Mario Maker title or else it's gonna be a depressing year for my Wii U
Tal did you know that I don't know how to pronounce "Yveltal" so I pronounce it as "evil Tal"
Guys how fucking crazy is Mystery Dungeon
The exceptions, of course, are Megami Tensei and Dragon Quest: Monsters
Which are in some ways almost more creative with their monster choices than Pokémon
yvel is, in fact, an ancient spelling of evil
don't know about the former but god the latter is so good
I played Red Rescue Team and Explorers of Time and they were both super fun. I hope Super Mystery Dungeon turns out well since I heard Gates to Infinity made some bad design choices but Super is bringing back tons of starter pokemon and a full pokedex so I have high hopes.
I have no idea how I ended up owning that thing.
Not a fan of limiting me to only starters, pikachu, and riolu though
People have been saying this since Gen 1.The fact is I could get 700 odd kids in a room and theyd likely all have a different favorite pokemon from various generations. I mean I know for a fact people on this very forum love Vanilluxe.
Yeah, one of my favorite memories of Red Rescue team was going through a playthrough as Skitty and making it work despite being saddled with normalize. Though I've come to accept that as we move through the generations we're going to get less and less non-starters since starters are basically mandatory.
I am one of these people

Yo.
Bugboy I almost @'ed you specifcally because your views on things like this are almost alien to me.
