I’m still surprised that Nintendo ever thought that there would be an audience for Yo-Kai Watch 2 in the west, but boy am I glad that they did.
Yo-Kai Watch also goes to some real crazy places that Pokémon wouldn't dare to explore.

Yo-Kai Watch 2: Bony Spirits is a great sequel to the already good Yo-Kai Watch. In Yo-Kai watch 2 you either play as Katie or Nate depending on choice. You have to go back in time to save the world from being taken over from dark Yo-Kai you work with Nathaniel (Your Grandfather) in the passed. The map is expanded from the first game and there is a bunch of stuff to do post game. I would really recommend to pick up this game.

Quotation forthcoming.
Yo-kai Watch 2 is an iterative sequel that plays too safe too often, but, taken for what it is, also delivers a solid JRPG experience, enriched by almost two hundred new Yo-kai, online battles and new areas to explore. Your enjoyment of the first game and of the anime really is a factor here.
While it may not solidify the burgeoning franchise as an alternative to Pokémon, Yo-kai Watch 2 is nonetheless another solid RPG in 3DS's library, especially for younger gamers. [Issue #24 – November/December 2016, p.12M]
The arrival of Yo-Kai Watch 2: Bony Spirits provides fans with a familiar experience that changes very, very little when compared to the first iteration of the series.
Yo-kai Watch has a great degree of potential, so it's tragic to see Level-5 squander it over fears of upsetting their massive cash cow. (In Japan, anyway.) This sequel carries the same sense of spooky whimsy as the first game, but unfortunately doesn't lose the underlying tedium. If you're looking for an alternative to Pokemon, you might want to see if the next game fixes Yo-kai Watch's woes—if it gets localized, that is.
One of my favorite RPG games to date. Graphics are amazing for the 3DS and character design is well made for the yokai. Large map with multiple places and quick transportation with Mirapo. I love the fact that you can go back in time and that you can fight a rare yokai once a day until you befriend it. 10/10.

Yo-kai Watch 2 is very much a fan game. It looks like the first one, plays like the first one and, the story harkens back to the first one. I'd say if you liked the first one like I did, you'll like Yo-Kai Watch 2. If you didn't like the first one, then you wouldn't like this one. I just hope Yo-Kai Watch 3 adds variety, if it ever comes to the US...

Pros:
+I haven't played first game but story and lore is pretty easy to catch up (Level-5 using amnesia trope).
+Well-written funny dialogs. Yo-Kai are cute, intelligent and can speak unlike pokemons.
+Main story is very long and interesting. A lot of side-quests and exploration.
+Online battles and coop.
+Very good graphics. No FPS drops (looking at you X/Y). Fast loading times.
Neutral:
*Battle system is unique but pretty chaotic. Yo-Kai fight automatically but you can use their "ultimate abilities" through mini-games, swap fighters and set targets in real-time. Because everything happens so fast there is very little time for tactical approach to track buffs/debuffs and execute advanced strategies.
Cons:
-Game is bloated with unnecessary systems. I'm somewhere mid-story and my watch already has 30 "apps", half of which add literally nothing to the game and just boring/annoying (bug catching, fishing, lottery, camera, terror, musicbox, criminals etc).
-A lot of running back and forth though massive city. No quick travel.
