Will Yokai Watch be a hit in the West?

I dont think so. Yokai watch became a hit on its second game after good first release. By that time toys/animes/merchandise were happening further driving popularity not just for sequel but original as well (big sales boost for original). I doubt west will get that treatment.

My kid played the download and has not seemed too interested in it. There would have to be a cartoon for them to even have a chance. I know they were supposed to bring it, but it has not caught my kids eyes yet.

I dont blame them. 

As a big fan of pokemon/Digimon, Yokai watch is soooo unappealing in its monster/character/ overall design.
