Speaking about YW AU’s, I also made my own story when I was 13-14 years old (so like 4-5 years ago) and its name is « Yo-Kai Watch V ».
It takes place 5 years after the main story’s events. We follow Keita, Inaho (keep in mind that they are 15-16 years old in it) and their friends in their supernatural shenanigans and with their agency. Other watchers will join their adventures, such as Hibiki Ryusei, a girl who owns a « Astra Model » Yo-Kai Watch, and our protagonists will also their own.
There is also a new mechanic I thought of, and it was the « Wish Forms », which needs a « Meteor Medal » to be added on certain Yo-Kais to ascend to this mode.
The story is structured into a prologue (which happens 2 years before YWV and counts as a YW music note rewrite), and epilogue and four main arcs between them.
YWV first arc : As the shooting stars falls
YWV first main arc : Dedtime Arc
YWV second main arc : Ghoulfather Arc
YWV final main arc : Kraken Arc
I just thought that it would be nice to see YW leaning into the Shonen-like genre and a hint of emotions within it, when Nate was still the protagonist.
And if you’re wandering, YWV isn’t a bridge to Shadowside, more like it’s own thing, filled with my self-indulgences.
This is extremely interesting to read ! This AU seems to be very thorough and complete.
I really like the fact that you aged up Keita and Inaho, it will lead to more mature themes and morals, like what it means to grow up, the new perspectives maturity can bring to their role of Watcher, and the view and opinion they have on the different antagonists they will encounter could change, as they start to better understand them.
This new character, Hibiki Ryusei, could bring a lot to the table too. Her Yokai Watch is intriguing as well, how did she obtain it ? Did Steve Jaws release this new model in continuity to the Model U ? Or maybe she inherited it from a family member or a yokai ?
How are the "Wish forms" and "Meteor Medals" working, exactly ? The concept of "Wish form" reminds me a lot of the Dream Link of Nate's Yokai Watch U and the "Dream Link" introduced in the third movie, could it be centered around the same mechanic ? "Meteor medals" are very interesting too, meteors can be associated with a lot of things in the Yokai Watch universe. One of them being the meteors falling during Enma's summoning, could there be a link between these two ? The Meteor medals could be powered by the energy of Enma, allowing yokai to transform ?
I can just imagine a gorgeous summoning and transformation similar to the Godsides in Forever Friends, but maybe I am looking too far- '^^
I also love to see every antagonists of the three games have their own arc. I am very curious about their placement in the story and how you are going to portray each of them. I am sure it is extremely well done, they have a lot of potential and all get a chance to shine !
Perhaps each antagonist will reveal a usefull lore element that will all connect at the end for the final battle, and reveal a plot-twist ? Could The Ghoulfather, McKracken and Dedtime all be working together to dominate the human world ?
I agree that a more Shonen-oriented Yokai Watch series could be very refreshing, with a more mature Nate, a new Watcher to bring some new content, and Inaho as the funny sidekick to balance the whole show. There could be a lot more variety of themes discussed in it, as well as more risks to be taken in terms of content.
But anyway, I can't say it enough, this AU is amazing ! Honestly if is was to become official, I would definitely watch it on TV everyday ! XD I just hope this long post with dozens of questions didn't annoy you too much, I apologize in advance '^^
Thank you very much for sending me this beautiful AU !

Yo-kai Watch 2 tierlist: Electric Boogaloo
You know the drill, I have the drill. Let's begin with-
The favourites tier, the guys, gals and yo-pals I enjoy staring at the most.
Like last time I like these guys for some differing reasons.
I used Darknyan, Foiletta, Hig Gnomey, Mermaidyn, Tongus/Nurse Tongus and Smogling/Smogmella in my various PS playthroughs.
And then there are some I haven't used but liked because of the game like Buchinyan, Hovernyan, Don Chan, Harry Barry, Count Zapaway and the Nosirs.
And some I just like because they're cool, like Allnyta and Time Keeler.
And I can appreciate Unfairy because I read fanfiction about them once on AO3 and it was cool.
Here is the Great Tier. I haven't used most of them. So this is mainly because of design or seeing them in the game.
I think the villains of YKW2 were probably the best, even the wicked yo-kai! Which is why they're all in Great.
The little cute moment between Ray O' Light and Drizzelda during that annoying storm chapter was, well, cute.
I really liked the classic yo-kai and having to do those key quests. They actually have personalities which was cool, and they don't just appear once. Which I can appreciate.
The war chapter is by far my favourite chapter in 2, making me like Arachnus and Toadal Dude as well.
Use the hose.
And everyone else just looks cool.
Again, I like most of these guys because of their design or their part in the story.
The bosses in this tier were the ones I thought had cool concepts, I haven't fought Kabuking or Kat Kraydel, though. But the others I have and it was fun.
Looking back I would probably move Arachnia up to Great because of Hazy Lane, but at the time of making this, I didn't know you could get them there so... Yeah.
Everyone here is fine, not bad, just I don't have any memories with them. I haven't used most yo-kai here.
The meh tier, these yo-kai aren't bad but there are things that just make me dislike them a tiny bit.
Apelican haunts my dreams every night because I swear every time I got him, I probably have like 3 or 4 Apelican medals rotting in my medallium.
Eyeclone was an annoyance to defeat, tough, but not the fun tough. I had to fight all those yo-kai in the rain for hours the first time I played.
Gargaros also haunts my nightmares, but I did finally beat him in Yo-kai watch 3.
Okay, looking back I'd probably move Sproink to Neutral or Good but only because of the quest.
Swelton's design isn't my preference, honestly.
Teastroyer was like Eyeclone as in he took forever to beat in a very annoying way.
I don't actually remember why I put Tyrat in Meh, probably because I could never get him. Maybe I'd put him in neutral now, I don't know.
And finally, the yo-kai I didn't know existed until making this tier list.
Will I make a yo-kai watch 3 tierlist? Maybe. Depends on how liked this tierlist is.

#365DaysOfVGM Day 182:
Youkai Butler Whisper’s Theme ~Serious Edition~ (Yo-Kai Watch 2 [2014])
Such a Classical-sounding Violin at the center of this track! This one’s got a somber vibe because of the melody alone. Given the “spook” noises at the beginning, it seems to depict Whisper as a lone ghost who lacks a significant purpose. I liked the melody of Whisper's theme from the 1st game, but the overload of cartoony noises prevented me from enjoying it, so it’s great to see what I consider a glow-up for the sequel, even though this version still isn’t considered the “main” one in comparison to the earlier one that’s still used in Yo-Kai Watch 2 as well
(Length before loop: 1.5+ minutes)
