On the surface is really does look like a Pokemon ripoff, but without a lot of the charm. Something about the Yo-Kai designs just come off as "meh".

The core game is too much RNG, everything is behind a layer or 2 of RNG. Just finding the fucker you want is bad enough, catching it is a bet that is not in the player's favor. At least in the first game. In the battles the player takes a very passive role with little to input besides ULTs, items and positions. Also, in the West, every Monster Raiser is a Pokémon. That is a cultural problem that the whole genre has to face.

Pokemon are also based on mythology. Golduck and Ludicolo are Kappas, the Kanto starters are Kaiju, Ho-Oh is based on a mythology Asian Phoenix of the same name. Drowzee, Hypno, Muuna and Musharna are Baku. Gyrados is based on the myth of carp turning into dragons after swimming up waterfalls, Infernape is Sun Wukong, Goodra is based off a myth of a snail that lives hundreds of years and turns into a dragon after climbing up a mountain. Tyranitar is Godzilla while Blastoise is Gamera. Manetric is a Raiju and Espeon is a Nekomata. So many pokemon are based off mythology, but not all are Japanese lore, Western mythology is also used. Voltorb and Electrode are based off Mimics, the Kalos starters are based off typical rpg classes, Mismagius and Misdreavus are banshees and Rotom is a poltergeist.

The gameplay just isn't fun.
I don't want to play minigames when my monsters attack and have no control over what happens in battle or if I catch the enemy or not.
They fell into the problem where they didn't want to copy pokemon, so they just went with the most outlandish system possible so that nobody would accuse them of plagiarizing. That shit just isn't fun.
Which is too bad because theme, designs and everything else in the game is top tier and hits the spot perfectly.

The standard combat system is just an RPG system. With minor less retarded adjustements it would've been just fine.

The odd part is that most of the yokai in the game, notably the first, that aren't based on the classic spirits like Kasa-Obake, or have a design similar to their classic counterpart like Yukionna (Frostina). They did however, start making the classic yokai around the second game and manage to somewhat implement them into the setting and plot in a clever manner. So I'm not sure about this 'beating you over the head' deal that you described.

They're going to run out of things to make into Yokai just like folktales from Japan. Eventually, they'll repeat themselves because they've ran out of material to work with.

>They're going to run out of things to make into Yokai just like folktales from Japan
I don't think that's really a problem. All they need is a vague concept or some quirk of everyday life and that's a yo-kai. They design some little dude or an object, put some spooky eyeballs on it or some swirly ghost shit, and they're good to go.
The real problem is that the series has this unusually offputting aura to normalfags. They're going to have to release Yo-Kai Watch 3 at some point and the average kid is going to see that and think, "I didn't play 1 and 2, so I guess I'll pass on this one." Meaning only niche autists have taken any interest in the series. And since Nintendo has botched the marketing, and gone overly silly and kiddy with it, they neglect to explain that there's no crossover with the previous games and that the whole thing is actually a little more complex than it looks. Not to mention that if you really want to get anything out of the games, it means tons of grinding so you can do those optional extra bosses and stuff like the Infinite Inferno which are actually challenging and force you to work out good team composition and min-maxing attitudes to get a good stat block.

According to this random site that came up on google.. About 370k for both America and Europe combined. Which isn't too bad, certainly enough to make back their money, I'd think, but it was was less than the first game. Might have something to do with the fact that it took them 3 fucking years to localize the game after already being way behind the curve to begin with. YW2 should have been on shelves the very next year and Psychic Specters should have been available within the next 6 months. They fucked up hard and now the franchise is niche, at best, in the West.

Probably not a lot, there's 3 main games with two of them getting rehashed, there's a smartphone spin-off and a smartphone port of the first game and one of the spinoffs is already getting a sequel and the third movie is going to be shown this month in japan, the only thing that went completely in the wrong direction was the anime IMO, watching it is like seeing the worst of Gintama comedy-wise, with anime and game references out the ass going down a spiral of degeneracy each episode.
