most youkai based games in the us get massaercaed
"If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine"

When the union's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run
There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun
Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one
For the Union makes us strong

Double-standards possibly.

Pokemon has Ninetails (from Kitsune, which is a Youkai). There are also plenty of Ghost-type Pokemon that have influences from Youkai but people are fine with them (such as a spirit blade and some key chain holding Pokemon).

Not likely to happen. They already filed a trademark with the name "Yokai Watch".

Butchered content, lackluster sales.

I just saw this news right now. Even though a bit late, I replied.

Lackluster sales shouldn't be too big of a problem. When localizing this game in the US/EU, they'll probably be only targeting a niche group. I'm not sure Level-5 does dual audio though (Never played a Level-5 game with dual audio), but that still shouldn't be a problem when targeting a niche group (Look at Atlus games as an example, they're always dubbed.)

Though, it could be a problem if they localize the TV show here for kids, then the game will probably reflect it. Or if they just plan on targeting a children's audience with the game, but I doubt that since they posted if there's any interest on twitter, and most young kids probably don't follow Level-5 on Twitter.
