literally a pokemon remake

[BlueCreeper]

so
i know this:
the basic concept is that these "yo-kai" cause random hijinks that people do, ie unexpected farts or sudden urge to rek kids at basketball
hence the slogan, "yokai is why"

as for my opinion on this, im not interested at all
looks kinda meh to me, too pokemon-like

[Regulith]

I like the idea but I'm not having fun in this demo

I feel like I'm not even participating in the battles, which is kind of ironic considering the somewhat minigame-based combat is probably intended to make me feel more engaged

Also I get the strong feeling every single one of these monsters is based on some Japanese legend I've never heard of

That's what yokai basically are, just monsters used to scare people.

I know the series itself has been around for a while but I never thought a game of it'd be released here.
