History YMMV / YokaiWatchWibbleWobble

* AuthorsSavingThrow: With the increase in Scramble Battles in the US version compared to the Japanese version, it's allowed for NHN to include Yo-kai from the first two games that were released much later in Puni Puni without spoiling the third game. The inclusion of the Momotaronyans (Taronyan, Doggynyan, Monkeynyan, Pheasanyan) and the Big Bosses from Yo-kai Watch Busters also helped (and pleased fans with the confirmation that the spin-off is getting localized).

** '''''Slurpent!''''' The best inflater by far. Where every other inflater is limited to two, Slurpent can grow around 7-8 Wib Wob at a time. Combined with all this will provide major money and scores. A good reason the InternetBackdraft example below happened.

* InternetBackdraft:
** The ''Wibble Wobble'' community did not respond well to the Thanksgiving 2016 event. Players had a chance of getting S-Rank Komajiro, but only for four days and through special Thanksgiving coins, of which there were only 11. The coins were also the same as a 3000 Y-Money pull which meant players could also get items. There was an additional event with the full episode uploads on Website/YouTube that allowed more chances, but only six of those coins were given out. Meaning overall, there was only 17 chances to get Komajiro S. Fans were not happy with NHN [=PlayArt=].
** Their handling of Slurpent, rather how they delivered Unikirin, the last Yo-kai required to unlock him. He was only available as a prize for the Top 5 players in the first Scramble Battle, which required excessive non-stop grinding over a period of four days. By the end, only 60 people could have gotten him (assuming somebody didn't get Top 5 again). In comparison to the Japanese version where Unikirin was available to everyone through the Crank-a-Kai. Fans were seething in anger that they gated off a Legendary that way. This was slightly remedied from the second Scramble Battle onward with the introduction of "SB Coins", which contain Unikirin along with several other Yo-kai, and getting them is fairly easy. Unikirin has also been a mainstay in the 4500Y Lucky Crank-a-Kai.
** The introduction of Y-Points in the Japanese version. A separate currency to be used for the 4500Y Gacha and event prizes. While Y-Points can be obtained in game, they're at a much slower rate than Y-Money, forcing one's hand to consider spending real money to more Y-Points. And as shown in the first event to introduce them, you need Y-Points to get the one Yo-kai that gives bonus Y-Points. It's slightly alleviated as Y-Points carry on from event to event, but the clear money-grab has turned fans off the game. All this was likely done after Extreme Venoct broke the game's economy, making it very easy to get Y-Money and not have to spend a single dollar/yen.
** The announcement that every version outside of Japan will be shutting down on May 31st. Many fans were upset, especially after March 2018 was an entire month of SS-Rank Yo-kai in the Crank-a-Kai without any warning that this was a send-off, and when April came it was so sudden. No reasons were given, though money is highly suspected.

** The US version and its lack of events in comparison to the Japanese version. Some players are sick of it and dropped it in favor of Puni Puni, while others are annoyed but understand that Yo-kai Watch in the US is far behind Japan (getting the yo-kai watch games way later).

** The introduction of the Lucky Crank-a-Kai into the American version is either seen as an AuthorsSavingThrow to people that wanted the game to be more like the Japanese version, or rigged nonsense that's impossible to get the really awesome new stuff.

** Tracer Yo-kai, which allow you to trace your finger over the board and pop lots of Wib Wob for extremely high scores and money growth. Only Libertynyan SS has this in America, but the Japanese version has several others.

** Yo-kai that directly attack all. Including Komashura, Sproink S, Kyryn, and Swelterrier. Amazing for earning money.

** Score Boosters. Including Elder Bloom, Unpleasent, and Sgt. Burly. Helps with both.

** Yo-kai that directly attack a single target. Including Demuncher, Chymera, Nul, and Faux Kappa. Amazing for Score Attack.

** Their handling of Slurpent, rather how they delivered Unikirin, the last Yo-kai required to unlcok him. He was only available as a prize for the Top 5 players in the Yo-cake Scramble Battle, which required excessive non-stop grinding over a period of four days. By the end, only 60 people could have gotten him (assuming somebody didn't get Top 5 again). In comparison to the Japanese version where Unikirin was available to everyone through the Crank-a-Kai.

** [=McKraken=] also counts after the game was updated with more levels.

** McKraken also counts after the game was updated with more levels.

** Sproink, as his attack spot is not revealed until you pop the belly button blobs. This doesn't sound hard, but he can attack you repeatedly until you lose.
