Of course all the medals have great artwork of your fave yo-kai, but some are a little more rare and feature holographic artwork.<\/p>\n
In Japan there are already lots of different medals series with different art, frame types, and colors, they all have different compatibility with various games and toys. There is a veritable rainbow of hundreds of medals to collect! It can get kind of overwhelming to keep track of them all, so here is handy graphic you can check back to later for reference (don\u2019t forget to bookmark this page!).<\/p>\n
As you can see above there are lots of different types of medals. First, there are five series of of \u201cgrey frame\u201d medals, along with capsule machine and other product and promotional exclusive medals that come along with other Yo-kai Watch toys, books, manga, and cross promotional goods! We aren\u2019t sure yet how these will be distributed outside of Japan, but rest assured we will always keep you posted!<\/p>\n The ultra rare \u201cLegend Medals\u201d have semi-translucent, sparkly yellow frames. The easiest Legend Medal to find right now is the one pictured above, \u82b1\u3055\u304b\u723a (Hanasaka-jii, or Elder Bloom in the English version)… However, all the rest are so rare that even some of the biggest fans can’t get hold of them easily. CoroCoro Comics more recently even produced an extremely limited run of “crystal frame” Legend Medals that are even more<\/em> rare!<\/p>\n Along with the Japan release of the “Yokai Watch 2” 3DS games, three series of \u201cZ-medals\u201d with sparkly green frames were released (and yet again, lots of capsule, product, and promo exclusives~!). The kanji \u96f6 (for \u96f6\u5f0f pronounced zeroshiki, “type zero”<\/em>) is featured in the upper right edge of these medals . Next up, around that same time, two series of \u53e4\u5178 \u201cClassic Medals\u201d (Classics feature the original \u201cold school\u201d yo-kai) with red frames in a new style! Those series contain medals that help unlock coins and items for the sequel games in Yo-kai Watch 2 (Honke, Ganso, and Shinuchi) and function with the “Zero Shiki” (type zero) Watch.<\/p>\n But wait! There\u2019s more *huff huff* \u2026 <\/strong>there are also sparkly blue framed medals called \u5fc5\u6bba\u6280 \u201cSoultimate” Medals and their artwork show off our favorite yokai using their Soultimate attacks! So cool! Oh geez\u2026 let\u2019s not forget the \u5927\u5409 \u201cSuper Lucky” Medals with sparkly orange frames\u2026 wow these are really really rare and were only available through capsule machines in Japan or very special promos.<\/p>\n More recently are three series of \u201cB-medals\u201d which have sparkly black frames in yet another new style that help you unlock items in the Yo-kai Watch Buster\u2019s spin off series of 3DS games. The artwork on the “B-Medals” is also marked by the kanji\u00a0\u653b in the upper right. Followed most recently by the \u201cU-Medals\u201d which bring back the green frame type but featuring the letter U in the upper right. Keep your eyes sharp so you know which is which!<\/p>\n Also releasing right now are the slightly more uncommon \u201cUta Medals\u201d with sparkly white frames and super pretty \u201cart nouveau\u201d styled artwork. These \u201cUta Medals\u201d contain unique songs that are able to be heard using a special line of toys (like Jibanyan One Man Show<\/a>)!<\/p>\n Coming up in the very near future are \u3046\u305f\u5409 \u201cSong Luck\u201d medals, \u201c\u2018Merican Medals\u201d that have really cool “American Comics” style artwork. Also really soon is a special promo medal featuring King Enma, it has a sparkly purple frame and is being called an E-Medal.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
Now let’s break it down!<\/h2>\n
