I've seen it for sale, but i honestly have no idea what kind of game it even is.

monster collecting rpg. It's fun.

Isn't it just a worse, more kiddie version of pokemon? I can see why it doesn't get huge love in the west. Pokemon is king.

Although it's a monster game, they're very different. I think you should have a go.

Combat system is super fun

I'd probably like it if I was 4-12. Otherwise it just feels unappealing.

I'll prefer Pokemon or Shin Megami Tensei tbh

 

 

edit; another problem is the concept of yokai in the first place. My 4 year old cousin said she loved yokai, yet she couldn't even explain what they were.

 

Unlike Pokemon, yokai watch has a major appeal to Japan. You don't need context to know that Charizard is a badass fire-breathing lizard, or that Mewtwo is that punk who'll take your lunch money. On the other hand, you wonder what the hell some of the Yokai are based on.

I think you need to try it out. It's not bad. Combat is fun, it's funny, good story, lot of things to do, post game is great.

Because Pokemon is simply better.

It is. I play both.
