   ok, so i was jay walking and my little ghost buddy was all like "you should follow the rules, its dangerous and you could get in trouble." iok, so i was jay walking and my little ghost buddy was all like "you should follow the rules, its dangerous and you could get in trouble." i ignored him because who cares, its a game. After doing it a few more times this monster pops up and he's pissed that i just waltz across the street instead of hitting the button and safely crossing and he completely 1 shots my entire team.
   11/10 will keep playing the hell out of it.… Expand

Production values here are quite high and you'll quickly notice as the voiceovers, graphics, and cutscenes are all immaculate. The game is very episodic as each day more or less consists of a main quest, though you are free to do as you please throughout. Don't compare the game to Pokemon or you'll be disappointed, it's truly a game of it's own pedigree...and that's exactly where its strong points come into play: aside from the storyline quests, everything is optional! Dungeons are optional, battles are 90% optional, fishing and bug-catching is optional, talking to NPCs is optional, side-quests are optional...are you starting to see a pattern? Another nice thing the game does is reward you for what you like doing the most. You don't only have to battle Yo-kai to gain experience for your party, you can actually get a large chunk of xp from completing favors and requests from locals.
   
   I am really enjoying the game so far, I love the real-world setting and the characters are all very charming. The only reason I feel people are confused about some things is because everyone is drawing comparisons from Pokemon. If you are going to compare a game compare Digimon World 2 or 3 because those have far more similarities with Yo-kai Watch than Pokemon does.… Expand

   This game is not Pokemon. Thank goodness. The similarities are very few, and this doesn't make or break the game at all. Comparing the twoThis game is not Pokemon. Thank goodness. The similarities are very few, and this doesn't make or break the game at all. Comparing the two is pointless, why not give this great game a fair review. Yo-Kai Watch is a fun and very imaginative creation. I find myself growing more and more addicted to the battle system and trying to find as many Yo-Kai as I can. There's tons of ways to do it too; plenty of quests that might give, or force you to befriend a Yo-Kai, a gambling system in the woods that lets you have up to possibly three a day, a streetpass motel, and probably more. I'm about 8 hours in, I'm not a rush and get it finished type of player. I like details, and Yo-Kai Watch has plenty of little tidbits to make you smile.
   
   I keep reading reviews about how un-"complex" this game is or how "child-like" it is, and I don't really see that. When I play, I see a witty little girl, who for all I know could be 19 living with her strict parents who don't let her out at night, and she happens to see things others can't. While playing, I saw a domesticated pet Yo-Kai that was turned to ice in the pond, was it a pet that got lost, died and turned to ice in the pond? Maybe. My point, use your imagination guys! And when has whether a game is complex or not ever been a grading criteria? Especially in America, come on, really? The last game I've played, and it's the complete opposite, was the Witcher 3, and I'm pretty sure Yo-Kai Watch is more "complicated" as far as mechanics, battling, befriending, collecting, etc as opposed to button mashing and quest searching. I'm not a hater, I love both games.
   
   Yo-Kai Watch is addicting, imaginative, cute, and good ol fun. I say try out the game for yourselves! I truly hope some of these mediocre reviews don't spoil the second game from coming to America.… Expand

   Big question, is this a same game as Pokemon? The answer is NO, Yo-kai Watch is a game that shows an interesting lesson, every Yo-kai have theBig question, is this a same game as Pokemon? The answer is NO, Yo-kai Watch is a game that shows an interesting lesson, every Yo-kai have the power to make people do good or bad things, e.g. if you suddenly want to fight to a friend probably is a Yo-Kai messing with you, or if you hear a person that have a lot of hungry maybe is a Yo-kai, so, as the main character Nate you will receive a yo-kai watch that can display a lens and a light to see where Yo-Kai are, and you can fight them with other yo-kai or try to be a friend, if you succeed you will receive a medal from them so you can put it on your clock and summon them to help you on your journey.
   This game is for those people that want a refresh on a battle system that is not per turns, have 3 ways to fight using the touch screen (spin, tap, follow the patron) and also is full Japan fan service, you have main quest and side missions non repetitive and a lot of yo-kai to be friend with, scenarios look great, 3D effect is really amazing on this game, and so much charming.
   Also let you know that you only need the game to play, no need of additional medals or the physical watch. Only available on english for those who wanna know if other language available on the game.… Expand

   It has it's bumps along the road, but it is great fun. The game is not Pokemon. It isn't and it never will be, which is fine by me. It is it'sIt has it's bumps along the road, but it is great fun. The game is not Pokemon. It isn't and it never will be, which is fine by me. It is it's own thing and after completing the game, you can see that it isn't like Pokemon at all. Their only similarity is the monster capturing aspect (which, of course, is a pretty big similarity). If you start playing expecting it to be this "Pokemon Killer" than you will be disappointed. If you respect it as it's own game, you will enjoy it.… Expand

   You don't choose the attack, but you can treat wounds with food, clean diseases and lock on an objetive, in some combats you can't stop doing things.
   The plot is simple as allways, normally it takes 24h to complete doing only the basic to advance and beat the final boss, but don't mistake complete this game takes much more than a hundred of hours, geat all medals, fulfill al secondary missions and the secret dungeon is not something you can do when you fbeat the final boss… Expand
