i played this game when it released 5 years ago and it made me trans

absolutely incredible game filled to the brim with passion and content that i truly cannot recommend enough. seriously, this game is massive. there is an insane amount of stuff to do. its a very tender story that will leave you feeling like youre on summer vacation as a kid without a care in the world again. no worries if you didnt play the other yokai watch games, you can pick this up with no prior knowledge needed. if you love monster catching (or in this case, befriending) games and want a super fun and unique spin on the genre, check this out. also. yokai watch is not a pokemon ripoff thank you for your time......

(pls read my PS if you are a fellow trans person who is worried abt a scene another reviewer described as transphobic)
quite literally my most favorite game of all time. i think this games story genuinely has the power to change peoples outlook on life and their opinion of themselves for the better; and it is a story that needs to be told now more than ever. a powerful tale of friendship, hope, love, music, discovering your worth and the worth of even the smallest things, and why its worth it to keep trying and keep fighting for a better future and world even though its hard and feels damn near impossible. be prepared for some serious soul cleansing crying. if you are reading this, please play wandersong.
PS as a trans person, i personally did not interpret the scene another reviewer referred to as transphobic to be transphobic at all, i actually interpreted it the exact opposite way and was left very impressed with the trans representation in this game. however i can understand why people might be made uncomfortable by this scene. i think it is down to the individual as to whether or not this scene is bothers you.

if you have only ever encountered the other chibi robo games, know that this game is absolutely nothing like them at all. it has a gigantic world for you to explore with tons of things for you to do, great characters, and a very heartfelt story about bringing a crumbling family back together. it is an absolute blast

super lovely game with a tender story that will stick with me for a long time, and thrilling gameplay that had my heart beating a million miles an hour. actually yelled “YES!” out loud after getting past certain parts. lots of fun, one of my favs ive played from the itch bundle

homophobia and sexualizing underage female characters and the main character, a minor, can date adult women.....whatever man.....unfortunately this game is extremely stylish and cool looking i wish they would make persona games that arent like morally appalling because damn do they look good

i have been playing this game on and off since high school so i pretty much owe it 5 stars at this point

this game made me cry i dont fucking care what you say to me

i love hop i love bede i love opal i love sonia i love leon i love rose i love oleana i love mustard i love honey i love avery i love zamazenta i love zacian

ps if you are dissatisfied with swsh and you did not play yokai watch (god forbid you called it a pokemon ripoff), you brought this upon yourself by destroying gamefreaks only competition in the genre and therefore only reason to improve. go play yokai watch 3 read my review

so fun, huge world, tons of content, great story. honestly this ruined minecraft for me because this has like everything that i wish minecraft had

this is my LEAST favorite pokemon game and i consider it a mar on the franchise. it disgusts me how they tried to make lusamine a sympathetic character after abusing her children. also the story just sucks hate everything about this

wonderful, touching, heartfelt story of hope against all odds that is relevant now more than ever
