Fun and unique take on the monster collecting RPG genre, although some of the mechanics can be very frustrating at times such as befriending new Yo Kai being even more luck based than catching Pokemon somehow and the requirements to get some Yo Kai being an unreasonable grind. Frustrations aside, this game is oozing with charm and is worth a play if you just plan on going through the main story and post game dungeon.

This game's pretty good. A very unique take on the monster collection genre. It's also pretty stupid and weird, which is always a plus, to me.

pokemon but good
i didnt like the combat system tho, the anime was a big part of my childhood so recently i gave the game a try
its basic child fun

As far as "Pokemon clones" go, this one's pretty fun! The writing is super corny and the overall plot is kinda meh, but the actual gameplay itself is surprisingly well-done!

The original Yo-Kai Watch was a rather jarring game to come back to as my last in the western-released trilogy. Many mechanics were obviously absent, though I never expected Jibanyan would only become a main character in the second game, and most of all I noticed a massive difference in the game's structure. Instead of having chapters follow a connected storyline, Yo-Kai Watch 1 instead goes for a slice-of-life format similar to its corresponding anime.

While not nearly as long as its successors, therefore not putting its mark on me the same way the second installment did, I still found myself having a wonderful time with this game. It did exactly what it set out to do, and then it ended. I love that it doesn't just feel like a lesser version of its sequels, it simply feels like its own thing. It's still as cozy and charming as I had hoped, and set a sublime groundwork for the future of the series. Would highly recommend.

C'était super franchement chara design des esprits superbes l'univers les musiques etc rien à dire
