If you have grade schooler you probably have heard of Yo-kai Watch but maybe you didn’t give it a second thought. I personally have heard the name from my 8 and 9 year old sons but I thought it was a part of Pokemon. Well Yo-kai Watch is certainly similar to Pokemon, but it is truly its own game.

Basically the show is about a boy named Nate who deals with little creatures (called Yo-kai) in his everyday life. The little creatures are mischievous and invisible of course. Well Nate discovers a special watch that allows him to discover and summon the mysterious Yo-kai. By calling them he can work with the good ones to solve problems caused by trouble-making Yo-kai!

The show is meant for kids and therefore not scary or hard-to-follow, its silly and allows viewers to escape into Nate’s world! Nate and his “friends” go on everyday adventures and are constantly solving problems.
