wonder how it will sell, on the switch it could reach good numbers

It should do well, but the Yokai Watch popularity seems to have diminished. However with that said, this should be the most popular western release of the game. 

Level 5 looks to be going back to their old PS2 era style with this game. Finally the era of 3DS touch controls, and auto-attacking is over!

Wait, what? Level-5 is a larger studio than Game Freak, and they've released many more home console games.

It seems they've taken some cues from Ni no Kuni 1's combat system for this game.

The entirety of Level 5 does not have the resources in terms of money and prestige Pokemon has. If the Pokemon Co. and Nintendo wanted, they could add GTA V level funding and human talent, but they are too conservative in their effords. Law of minimal efford.

I'm honestly more excited for this than Pokémon

yeah, popularity of yokai watch slowed down, but maybe the switch could help

They did change the gameplay to something the west will probably be more interested. 

I'm not west though hahaha. I'm a little bit west of Japan I guess, but still in Asia. Pakistan to be more precise.
