History Headscratchers / YokaiWatch

* Some of these tribes the Yo-Kai are in still baffle me. For example, why is Lodo, a Yo-Kai that causes poverty, in the Heartful tribe?

* Since Nate has the prototype Yokai Watch U, why doesn't he give the old ones to someone else, like Katie?

** hidabat sold the previous 2 online. jerry bought the original. nobody knows who bought the zeroshiki.

* Why does Whisper always hide his Yokai pad when Nate and Jibanyan already know he's reading off of it?

** I got the impression that the watch locks ''only'' affect those who have a Yokai Watch in the first place, since you can't even see yokai without it, so it'd be pointless for them to block off normal people (disregarding one-off instances like the abandoned hospital watch lock that keeps a nearby normal kid from entering it, though that particular situation could just be due to the watch lock manifesting on a door). Keep in mind that a yokai's usual response to watch wearers is to attack them, making the point of the locks being a way to keep lower-ranked watch wearers from being overwhelmed by the yokai behind the locks.\\

* Yokai are invisible, but not transparent, letting them affect or be affected by other people and objects, so why don't people notice any physical contact like Tattletell hanging from her victim's chin?

* What would happen if 2 people put the same yokai medal in their watches at the same time? For example, Nate and Hailey both have Blazion's medal, where would Blazion go if they both used his medal at the same time?
** It might be like when 2 people call the same phone number, one side would actually summon Blazion, while the other gets a busy line. If the medal is still in the 2nd watch when the 1st is done summoning, the yokai would be immediately summoned to the 2nd watch.

* When you start the first game, there's a message saying "all locations in this game are fictitious" or something. Unless they were talking about the names of the places, its quite clearly Japan. What purpose is there in telling the player these places aren't real?

* If the Yo-kai watch """disrupted the balance between worlds""" in Shadowside, what happened to the other three (Hailey Anne's, Yuto's and Jerry's) in circulation? Was Nate's the only one who affected the balance? Why?

* If the Yo-kai watch """disrupted the balance between worlds""" in Shadowside, what happened to the other three in circulation? Was Nate's the only one who affected the balance? Why?

* In the third game, you go to Yopple HQ and see that they produce tons of Yo-kai Watches. But... who is buying them?

* Now that the original anime is getting revived, does this mean Shadowside is an AlternateContinuity?

** In the 1st game, one suddenly appeared inside the capsule via magic.

** Busters/Blasters and 3 are now out in America, the next question is if Sangokushi or Busters 2 will be released, or if 4 will recieve a worldwide release.

* In the third game, you go to Yopple HQ and see that they produce tons of Yokai Watches. But... who is buying them?

* Now that the original anime 8s getting revived, does this mean Shadowside is an AlternateContinuity?

** At the end of the movie, Nate wonders if [[spoiler: Keizo became a Yo-Kai. Whisper says that it's not possible for any normal person to become a Yo-Kai, and they must've been a special person if they do become a Yo-Kai. It turns out Keizo did become a Yo-Kai after all, possibly due to the fact he invented the Yo-Kai Watch.]] How are people/objects/animals chosen to become Yo-Kai?

** The player teleports too fast for them to notice.

** It doesn't matter,the 1st anime is over and nate no longer has the watch. The shadowside anime is airing.

** In the 1st game,one suddenly appeared inside the capsule via magic.

** they're 3ds games and there will be a switch game called yo-kai watch 4,

* Episode 81, Cadin gets the date for a concert wrong and wakes up one week early and once he's awake, he has to stay awake for the whole week and goes to sleep for a year. Why not bring in Insomni, Gamammoth, and TETSUYA in to prevent Cadin from falling asleep, or call in Baku to make him go back to sleep and then wake him up?

* I can understand Mirapo appears as an ordinary mirror to regular people. But if that's the case, how does no one notice the player being able to teleport around the city through mirrors.

* I can understand Mirapo appears as an ordinary mirror to regular people. But then, how does no one notice this one kid being able to go through mirrors and appear on the opposite side of the city?

* How did Hovernyan know Kin & Gin (and Bronzlow) stole the Yo-Kai Watch from Nate?

* Why didn't Kin & Gin just jump Nate and take the watch again the moment they realized he got it back? At that point he only had ''two'' Yo-Kai that couldn't have even scratched them, so they could've done it with no real effort.

* Sadly, yes.

* Will Nate be replaced after the 4th movie? The movie introduces 3 new characters, so will the anime continue like normal or is their a chance it will focus on the new guys?

* What would happen if 2 people put the same yokai medal in their watches at the same time? For example, Nate and Inaho both have Blazion's medal, where would Blazion go if they both used his medal at the same time?

** No. You can still choose Nate as usual, but Inaho takes over Katie's role as the female protagonist.

** In the anime, he could have bought it offscreen while following Nate home alongside the Yokaipad, in the games, I dunnoe, he was sealed long before the watch was invented and couldn't have bought it offscreen since he gives it to Nate/Katie immediately after meeting them

* With the Switch coming out in March 2017, what is the fate of Yo-Kai Watch Busters and Yo-Kai Watch 3? (Will they still be 3DS games when they come out in North America or will they be ported to the Switch?)

** In the anime, he could have bought it offscreen while following Nate home alongside the Yokaipad, in the games, I dunnoe, he was sealed long before the watch was invented and couldn't have bought it offscreen since he gives it too nate/katie immediately after meeting them
