>>24876846It's okay, and I can see why Japanese kids like it. Still can't find the appeal though. Tried out a copy from a friend and it didn't take long before losing interest and unable to hook into the gameplay. Pretty much Ghostbuster gone Shonen anime video game. Only see very little resemblance to pokemon too, so it's hard to make connections between the two besides some small details or small design similarities. That's it though and decided to consider Yokai Watch a different enough game to not find it reasonable with comparing it to pokemon so much.
>>24878569It's not really America's fault and the logic flaw is more on Japan if anything. The yokai in this game are basically ghostly monsters strictly based off (Hence the first name in title.) Japanese themed ghosts or creatures heavily focused within Japanese folklore/myths (See the Kappa yokai.) who are usually commonly known within Japanese culture. A lot of this isn't known outside that culture and even if you translate/explain the meanings behind these yokai in attempt to get these outer people to understand, their still likely going to raise a couple brows or flat out not get the point behind it all. Especially with some of the humor behind a lot of them since a good chunk are probably too wacky, even for my own taste. It's probably why it's U.S release bombed like it did compared to their sales in Japan and only saw this release even happening only cause it made a lot of money in japan and didn't really consider anything past that fact. It's like....uh, well fuck, guess like introducing a person raise/from America to chopsticks when they been mostly raised with seeing just Silverware like Forks, spoons, etc. I know that is a stupid comparison and could try using a better example to use to differ between US and japan, but I'm sure that might be enough to see the point I'm trying to make here.
