>>42581394>soultimates aka z movesbut soultimates and z moves aren't that similar
soultimates require you to charge a meter and you can use multiple in one battle
z-moves also have that dumb dance
>the addition of alternate forms of existing creaturesalternate forms have been around since before yokai watch existed
i don't really see how regional forms specifically are any more like yokai watch's pile of recolors than, say, the different forms of wormadame
>“quirky” sidekick that is also your encyclopedia for creatures, coincidently finally adding a bottom screen map after countless years of not having them,>bosses being added for only gen 7these might be due to yokai watch i guess
but i think it mainly influenced the anime, not the games
