stop comparing this to pokemon already. This game is cool, but it's also kind of incredibly obsolete considering the fact that the sequels of this game are more updated versions of this game rather than being their own standalone things, so it's really hard for me to give this a rec proper over those. I think yo kai watch is super cool in that the entire game world is just one city, so there's an immense amount of detail and care put into every crevice of that city, which makes for a smaller yet more explorable world to catch critters in. the yo kai series is absolute vibes and this game is also an absolute vibe. I will say however that there is an unncessarily large amount of luck when it comes to actually getting the yo kai that you want which isn't that fun and can make the game extremely grindy. Banger game but really if you have a 3DS and want some yo kai goodness play 3
