* AmericansHateTingle: This franchise might be popular in its home country, but America absolutely won't touch it because of the stigma attached to [[GirlShowGhetto shows for little girls]], and even in the fansubbing scene, very few people care about it. And while it got exported to Europe, it didn't do that well there.
** For a character example there is Labra, who's reviled by a lot of western fans for being extremely annoying, but Japan seems to love her to death, as proven by this [[http://www.pixiv.net/search.php?s_mode=s_tag_full&word=%E3%83%A9%E3%83%96%E3%83%A9 Pixiv popularity poll.]]

** Popular in Hong Kong, though less so than in its home country. The USA, for the most part, barely even know this exists.
** Its pretty popular in the Middle East. The arabic Opening has over 4 million views on the Specatoon Youtube Channel.
* GirlShowGhetto: A possible reason for its unpopularity, though being squarely a kids' franchise in a medium that has its audience mainly in teens and young adults can't help its case either.

The Death Battle part was a shoehorned meme.


** Jewelpets should not be in ''WebAnimation/DeathBattle''.[[labelnote:*]]A big Jewelpet fan repeatedly suggested that the Jewelpets should participate in Death Battle. Knowing that they are as likely to be underestimated as they are powerful, he sincerely suggested the likes of Trixie Lulamoon vs Luea, Diana vs Tempest Shadow, Dian vs Discord, and Ruby and Rinko vs [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Ash and Pikachu]] (the first three of which are JP vs ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' match-ups). The fan then got salty and started making memes about Death Battle not featuring the Jewelpets.[[/labelnote]]

** Ruby, [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar I don't feel so good]].[[labelnote:*]]Both Rinko and Momona [[DisappearsIntoLight disintegrate into light]] near the end of their respective series. Bonus points for Dian actually snapping his fingers at Rinko to disintegrate her.[[/labelnote]]

** Subverted with Europe. The franchise was marketed to hell and back when the first series started airing there, but enthusiasm for it died down a year or so later, with a lot of countries only airing the first two seasons (sometimes, not even the second one). When it came time for ''Sunshine'''s debut, only Portugal was left, thanks to the efforts of Luk Internacional (to give you an idea, they also brought the entirety of ''Anime/OnegaiMyMelody''), which had just given up with it in Spain despite ''Twinke'''s mild success there.

** The Sweetspet Chocolat is the largest of her lot and has a rather dark color scheme, leading people to believe she's male at first glance. Not helping matters is how all the Sweetspets, males included, are voiced by women, and they show up too little to draw the right conclusion.

** Topaz is one of those Jewelpets that gets very little attention in any season but she's surprisingly popular, probably because of a [[FurryFemaleMane somewhat different]] design. That she gets a rather unique personality as a stoic fashion designer in ''Kira Deco'' helps too.

In ''Kira Deco'', they take issue with the fact that she dumped [[spoiler:the Dark General]] and therefore created the main conflict in the show.
