* AuthorsSavingThrow: ''Yo-Kai Watch 1'' received criticism due to the fact that it made befriending Yo-Kai difficult due to the fact the player couldn't tell which Yo-Kai's favorite food was and there being no way to increase befriending chances aside from throwing food and utilizing the Popularity skill. In ''Yo-Kai Watch 2'', not only can you tell which food to give each Yo-Kai, but thanks to soulcery and the Yo-Kai Watch Model Zero, befriending gets a whole lot easier.

** IGN gave ''Yo-kai Watch 2'' a 5.5, while most other reviewers had cited it as an improvement over the first game. Although, several factors make it apparent that the reviewer had hardly played through the first game, such as thinking that the ''Purify'' system was new to the sequel.
** WebVideo/GameXplain's review also received flak when it became obvious that the reviewer only played through the first few hours of the game by not mentioning any additions like the ''Blasters'' mode and online battling.

* JerkassWoobie: Dr. Maddiman in the second game. He gleefully tried to take your heart and was working for the BigBad in the first game and experiments on other Yo-kai, but then you read his diary entries and find out his backstory and the reason for his research. Even the player character ends up feeling sorry for him.

Even the player character ends up feeling sorry for him.
* ScrappyMechanic: The train riding segments are not very well liked. They basically just consist of you waiting around until you reach the next station, unless you get an event (the player character and Whisper having a conversation, a character stopping by to give you an item, or a Yo-Kai challenging you to a fight), and if you have to take the train through a lot of stations, this can get boring and repetitive very quickly. You also have to buy a new train pass every single time a new day starts to travel, unless you complete the stamp rally to get the Free 'n Easy Pass...which requires stopping at ''every station''. The player character even lampshades the tediousness of this by the end of the stamp rally, noting that they feel burned out on train rides for a while. The good thing is that, like the first game, you eventually unlock [[PortalNetwork the ability to travel using Mirapo]], including to places that you previously needed to get to by train.

* ThatOneSidequest: The key quest "Retrace Dad's Steps" gives many players troubles. It involves befriending a Flushback. Flushback are relatively rare, only available in a cave out in San Fantastico, and their favorite snack is the extremely hard to find soba (which can predominantly only be found by following a delivery man on a sunny day and waiting until he drops soba).

* ThatOneBoss
** The BigBad of the second game Dame Dedtime can be this in both times you fight her. In her first form she's capable of stealing a level from your Yo-Kai and creating a Wicked Yo-Kai based on your own Yo-Kai's level. This causes the fight to drag out especially since she constantly inspirits your party. The second form is even worse. She can steal watch functions from you meaning that sometimes you can't purify or use items, not to mention her inspirits and powerful Soultimate Move.
