Yo-kai watch 3 was pretty fun. I'll probably pick this up if it comes to the US

 

[TotalInsanity4]

Welp. Sounds like Nintendo better hurry it up with Pokemon then

 

[dimmidice]

Wish they'd release 3 in US/EU already. Also hope they keep the combat from 3.

I am pretty ok with the series myself. It may not be a pokemon killer but it is nice to see monster collection games get some love. I like the modern setting, most of the Yokai designs are cool* I am a huge fan of the earlier pokemon generations and an even bigger fan of dragon quest monsters as you all know. My biggest gripe about Yokai 1 and even into Yokai 2 was the infuriating catch rates, and on top of that, how it was handled. You could feed them any food and they might join you. You could feed them their expensive favorite food, and that might join you. Of course, another yokai could join you instead, one that you didn't feed. But was more often than not happened, was that none joined you. And you could only feed a Yokai once per battle. So if you accidently fed the wrong yokai the only piece of expensive food... your chances were shot as it were. I dont know, I am just happy there were NTR cheats to alter the catch rates to 100% in the second game.

So anyways. I am excited about another one, and I am glad they are putting it on the Switch. I would love to see 3 and Busters make it over here too, but I am not holding my breath.[/acronym]

I enjoyed Yokai Watch 1 HOWEVER I absolutely hated battles with using the touchscreen. It was so stupid

 

[Xandrid]

I'm ok with this, now we just need some other games to come on the Switch, I'm looking at you Square Enix bring us the Bravely series and The whole KH series on the Switch

 

[BvanBart]

Ni No Kuni Please!!

 

[KingVamp]

My mind went to Capcom then to Phoenix Wright... Come on Capcom! lol

Don't forget the Busters Spin-offs! We didn't receive a single one yet. What's the hold up?

this series is not even 5/10% of what pokemon is.


Level-5 send a copy to @endoverend 1st then we will see if it's any good.

Busters is actually coming. It's almost completely confirmed. William anderson tweeted about translating the songs for buster. So that's pretty sure in my book. I just really want 3. That combat system change was great. I tried out the JP version.

Well, that's because it is pretty much it's own thing. No need to "be like pokemon" I like it because what it is, without comparing it to Pokemon.

Gamefreak needs some new blood i find. I'm just getting really bored of pokémon to be honest. I still enjoy it but i get so weary of it about halfway in now. I haven't even finished ultra moon yet :/

And i hate the way they handle event pokémon giveaways.

I don't know if that was what Flame was heading for. I read it as something like
Back on the GB/GBC, GBA and DS we saw a few "pokemon clones" like Medabots, Robopon, Demi Kids (or at least the dark version), Dragon Quest Monsters, maybe Monster Rancher at times, and so forth. Many of those had their own interesting takes on the gameplay style and ultimately some pretty compelling gameplay (I maintain medabots is much better than pokemon but different discussion for another thread). Yo-kai watch on the other hand is boring as you like and generally a far inferior take on the gameplay style most associated with pokemon.
