Spelling of Yo-kai

From the looks of the English footage of the game, the spelling "Yo-kai" (with a lower-case k) appears to be used, at the least regarding the characters themselves (hard to tell if the actual title uses this as both Nintendo and the anime's English trailer use all-caps).

It's also more logical since the hyphen is there to indicate the long vowel sound. It's also used in official sources like https://twitter.com/YokaiWatchNews, http://yo-kai.nintendo.com/ and the official English game trailer with the aformentioned game footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opal2gPHAD4. Seems to be pretty clear that Yo-kai Watch is the official and proper way to spell it and not Yo-Kai Watch as the Wikipedia article is titled as of this writing. I can't move the current article to the proper title because Yo-kai Watch already exists, as a redirect to the article. Would be nice for someone who can move it to do that. ^_^; GonbeFAN (talk) 18:23, 10 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think you can use Wikipedia:Requested moves to fix it.

Discussion on splitting out the television series is now

Stale. If there is interest in splitting, start a new discussion. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 15:23, 5 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm thinking we should try to split up the article a little more, as in making more pages for the games, and giving the anime and manga their own pages. However I don't know if that's allowed or not so I might need some clarification. (Chocolatejr9 (talk) 16:34, 6 January 2016 (UTC))[reply]

It doesn't really make any sense to do that. The games all have their own pages already and there are too many versions of the manga that no one is writing about to bother with giving them their own page. This is just how pages on these multimedia things work considering the story is pretty much the same in most of them.--2601:140:8200:DE:81A0:EA69:AD45:EA6F (talk) 02:25, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think the Anime should be given it's own page. The anime doesn't really have much of a ongoing plot, while the first game has an completely different one. The second game's plot matches the first movie and some of the anime episodes adapt game plots, but that's it. Reading the plot section is confusing because it references the anime and the third game only. You could also argue that the first manga needs a page since it won rewardsSadonyx (talk) 01:53, 3 October 2017 (UTC)Sadonyx[reply]

All games prior to Yo-kai Watch 2

All of the main series' games prior to Yo-kai Watch 2 have the same battle style

So... Yo-kai Watch (the game) has the same battle mechanics and gameplay as itself? Can anyone decipher this? --superioridad ^(discusión) 21:20, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Article reassessment

Shouldn't this now be considered a B or C class article? Given the length and sourcing, I mean?Timur9008 (talk) 10:20, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yo-Kai Academy Y

The page currently makes no mention of the soon to be released Yo-Kai Academy Y. I would expect to find it in the spin off games section? Kidburla (talk) 23:27, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have gone ahead and added the game, plus a redirect leading here for it. IanTEB (talk) 21:04, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Linking Issue

Crossposting this to the talk pages of both articles - the Yo-kai Watch 3 "Gameplay" section hotlinks to a "Gameplay" section of this article which either no longer exists or has never existed. 2601:646:9D01:B930:5093:5CA9:629E:57CF (talk) 03:39, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
