a really cute game that pushed Pokemon to be better with its Gen 7 games even if their similarities begin and end with "monster collecting game with cute characters and an elementary school kid". the monster design is quirky and memorable and the world is bursting with things to do around every corner

I find this game to be a bit of a hard sell when its sequels exist and build on the game's concepts much better, but it's very good to play if you want a game-sized TV show. you might be in for a shock if you've only watched the anime though

anyways I will never forgive Hasbro for fucking this series over so bad that we'll never get Yokai Watch 4.
