def between top 3 games of my childhood🥲

Oh yeah there's a yokai watch 5, but instead it is not produced by level 5 but instead ILCA, and it has released worldwide rather than having a release 2 years later, and there's no whisper in the game, cause this took place in a seperate setting where the yokai world is a new world, and various new yokai, and also some wild versions of existing yokai such as a wild buhu and there's a menacing dark army. And there's an anime with its animation produced by upstairs animation(the same company who did Koati), and follows the plot of the game with some other changes, and it breaks the rules of what the original version and it's english dub of the original anime have. It's about no censors, and various deaths of yo-kai

level 5 was way too ambitious with the amount of change they introduced into this game. its basically a whole entire franchise at this point. when you have a franchise as beloved as yokai watch fans want to see a lot of continuity of the previous versions since thats what they became fans for in the first place. yokai watch 4 just seems extremely intimidating to someone who was a fan of any of the previous 3 mainline games. if they transitioned into this new direction for the franchise over 2 or maybe even 3 games, yokai watch would probably still be going strong today.

i need more yokai watch content this is sooooo good i love your videos !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Took me way too long, but I finally watched this! Gotta say, you did an amazing job of going over the entire franchise and explaining everything! Since Yo Kai Watch constant is so minimal on this platform (especially compared to more popular franchises like Pokemon) it was such a great experience seeing someone clearly care so much about the series and go through the effort of sharing that! Definitely some of my favorite videos from the last decade of using this platform! Thank you so much for this! ❤️

I have yw4 but not the ++ version so I can't translate it to English through modding, what's the best way to play in the Japanese version?

I don’t really like y academy all that much because of the characters being reincarnated from yo-Kai in the main series (except the onion kid I guess) all I can see is Jibanyan, komasan, etc and their personalities are just not appealing to me. I do like the hero gimmick though along with some of the onriyo designs and personalities

Anybody watching this around the time the manga had already ended?

I DONT CARE WHAT YOU SAY MCKRACKEN WAS THE BEST AND STILL IS THE BEST

They snuck in the Kitaro theme at 9:50 and thought no one would notice ha! (Great video btw, you're retrospectives are by far one of my favorites in regards to YKW)

Cool video It was so cool to see a yo-kai watch retrospectives video😁 (While it was bummer to hear in the end, i do hope you would find something you actually likes to do and make video about it in the future)

Y School Heroes anime is peak fiction, i’m glad it all got fully english subbed. Bouta binge it + the movie to the end. Here’s hoping Ghost Craft RPG does amazingly, so we finally get localized YKW4 & YKWH lol

Oh my swirls! Pure awesomeness! Been into yo-kai watch for the past 3 months, total immersion, games on orignal hardware, medals, figurines, mangas, lore...it's been such a blast! And all this accompanied by your videos in my ears while I have to do other things than play! 😂 Thanks a bunch for your non-spoilery well crafted videos! Aright, today is the day, Psychic Specters here I come! 😊 haha

0:21 Cal cu la tor is more expensive than Minecraft mobile

So sad this is over man, had so much fun watching all of these

good series man, the effort you put into this retrospective was great!

ah, y academy... it definitely makes me feel things! i thought the overall idea was pretty cool, but some gags were just too cringey for their own good imo... which is a shame bc i adore every single one of the characters! (except kyubi. i felt validated when you said you didn't like him either lmao. his yokai companion deserves better, i love her too!) specially matarou and goromi. THE OST IS ALSO STUPID GOOD, LIKE??? i have been a yokai watch fan for the longest time but i only found out about this bc nayutan seijin made the openings I SAW NAYU AND LOST IT, and i lost it even more when she played a very active role, like, she's based on this nayutan seijin character called andromedako who's always in these cutesy space themed love songs, when one of her first appereances was talking about sending the protags to hell i was like "!?!?!?!??!?!??!?!?!?!?!??" she's a cool character though! i love her and SPECIALLY elzemekia!!! i feel like she was made for me specifically. i feel her backstory was a bit unnecessary though... it's a shame that my actual fav character (lime from y high school) is anime only and there's absolutely next to no chance of this side of ykw to come back, but ah well (if you recognize me from tumblr as that one person who made that long ass theory about jinpei suffering from comphet no you didn'ttt...)

Does anyone know what the soundtrack is called by the „Chrominize Presents“ Screen (from 0:21 to 0:54). It's really stuck in my head.

I think it'd be fun to make a video where someone puts characters from other franchises in the 8 original tribes . (Like in the puni puni crossover events . Personally, I'd put Akane Tendo in Brave because she can fight , it makes more sense than her being charming because "she's a girl*)

The first game is simpler than the other games, but It's just so charming and well made.

I love how the dungeons are just normal places sometimes. And they are super well designed.

17:25 XD

15:03 The more cat Yo-Kai the better. Also, recolors are cool! They are like a more challenging version of normal Yo-Kai to colect and I apreciate the challenge.

Jibanyan and Shogunyan are amazing.

I would love a full spoiler explanation video at some point! I'm very curious about the lore, but not that interested in reading 1000 wiki articles

woooo new retrospecticve!!

''Boku no Yo-kai Academia'' is a weird spin the franchise, i can't see it as being particularly good, i think the lack of Yo-kai stuff over Super Hero and alien stuff was a bit jarring, but i can appreciate some things about it, like new watches and there jingles, some of the designs are really good, the very catchy songs and i'm a sucker for transformation sequences that they have plenty

As for yo kai watch 4, i started to play this game this summer, i put an italian patch that for now seems very complete and went blind. The amount of content that i met for where i'm now it's massive, surely one of the fullest game of the entire franchise. The characters have a pretty clear personality and i really like them. Can't talk about a lot since i'm not very far from the start but surely it has great potential. Happy that i've been able to follow this great retrospective serie, you inspired me to try and make my own version. Congrats dude :D

Is it bad that I have no idea what is going on with this series? I only played the first a second game but I absolutely loved what I played.

will u ever do a retrospective on the animes and movies?

The goat has posted

I HAD NO IDEA THEY MADE ENGLISH PATCH! COOL!

Dude, they could localize the Switch games.

YOOOOOOO 🗣🔥

E

I don’t know why they gave the game an English name, but I know the Yo-kai Gakuen Y series was named Y School Heroes in English due to a crossover event in a mobile app

I only just got into the franchise properly, but I’ve known about this game/anime for a while due to it being HEAVILY inspired tokusatsu shows like Kamen Rider, Ultraman, and Super Sentai (Power Rangers) I will say, it’s interesting to see someone talk about this without bringing those up, but it’s probably more important to focus on the actual game itself without diving headfirst into another part of Japanese pop culture

Bro I loved this series. Definitely gonna watch your future videos from now on

If they added the the stuff from Y-Gakuen season 2, then this would be my favourite Yokai Watch game. But I can't see why they didn't do it.

I just found this channel and was watching through your retrospective when this popped up on my home page! (Insert obligatory "Must be a Yo-Kai!" joke here.) Can't wait to see what else is in store!

I've loved this series from start to finish. I'll always be grateful you stuck with it even though there were break periods as I enjoyed watching it reach its conclusion. If you'd ever be interested in doing a Sangukoshi video, I'm sure there'd be a demand for it (after all, I'd love that!), but if not, it's all good, as I'm just happy you covered the breadth of the mainline series. I'm one of the few YKW fans who's furious with Holy Horror Mansion, as an underdeveloped and bizarre 'spiritual successor' (but not really) to YKW. It's weird they haven't even finalised their "concept dances" for the game yet, whatever TF that means. it's years off and frankly I think the fanbase for it will lose hype by the time it releases. From my POV, this means YKW is truly dead, a great serues that lost its way after the 3rd major entry, and all its rebrands just took it away from the original golden concept. Now all we have is 'Holy Horror Mansion', and I for one will be skipping it. Thankfully, we still have all our game copies, digital emulation, and your fantastic series to remember the IP by. Thank you YKW, and thank you Chrominize, for the years of fun.

One thing I appreciate about this game is how gorgeous the school grounds and environments are. Pokemon Brillianf Diamond and Shining Pearl with its own chibi artstyle came out around the same time but it looks so awful compared to Y-School. Jinpei reminds me alot of Sheen from Jimmy Neutron with his humor. Gameplay-wise, it feels alot shallower compared to Busters. With Busters, you can balance a team with a Fighter, Tank, Ranger and Healer. This game felt like your only option was to play Fighter so you have none of the other roles to help defensively or offensively.

Bluepon my beloved...

And so it ends.... thanks for the fun retrospective Chromonize, may you have many better videos (but if you ever get the time, when holy horror mansion comes out, you should talk about it next, since its a successor to yo-kai watch and all)

3:24 the map makes it look like a pokemon region lmao

Peak Cinema

Yoooo! Yokai watch retrospective concludes! I've loved every video in this series! It's sad to see this series end, but I'm glad I was able to catch the finale as soon as I saw it

Chrominize is back with peak cinema.

It was so much fun watching these videos. I think its time to play puni puni
