Q) Crank-a-kai ?
A) Like in YW1, you can use coins to get Crank-a-kai exclusive yo-kai. You can crank between 3 and 10 coins a day (the limit is randomly generated each day,) the number of cranks left is displayed at the bottom of the screen after you hit X.

- Possible results for various coins (In Japanese but you can use it just by the pictures)
https://youkai-pedia.com/yw2/belongings?type=%E3%82%AC%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A3%E3%82%B3%E3%82%A4%E3%83%B3

- You can visit the Crank-a-kai in the past or the present. The past crank-a-kai gives different results for colored coins as well as some of the special coins.

- As far as we know, abusing the Crank-a-kai by changing the system time is PATCHED in YW2. The game will LOCK YOU OUT of using some features, such as the crank-a-kai, for 48 hours if it detects a system time change.

Q) Select-a-coin ?
A) The select-a-coin you get early in the game is one-of-a-kind, and allows you to get one of Manjimutt, Tattletale, and Roughraff. None of these -kai are accessible any other way in the game, so you'll need to trade to get all three.

Q) Select-a-coin + ?
A) You can get three Select-a-coin + from Mr. E. tucked away just a bit right of the Mt. Wildwood Shrine, as long as you played YW1. To do so, take a YW cam photo in YW1, save it to your SD card, and then visit Mr. E within 2 hours (the photo has to be "fresh".) He will give you a Select-a-coin +, which you can then crank. You can immediately repeat this after having cranked the coin, so it is possible to get all three Noko, Buchinyan, and Komasan relatively quickly.

Q) Soulcery?
A) Once you unlock soulcery, you can turn yo-kai into soul gems which are equips that give useful benefits.
See the "Kons/souls" section of this guide as a start.

- Soul gems come in a variety of sizes (small, medium, large, mega) with stronger effects (more research needed.)
See
http://yokaiwatch.wikia.com/wiki/Soul_Gems

- Superstar soul is probably one of the more important soul gems, see How do I befriend things? below.

Q) How do I befriend things?
A) Friendship rates are still cancer like they were in YW1, but you now can use (1) poking and (2) superstar soul equip on a yo-kai in your party to make friendship almost reasonable.

- A handy new feature in YW2 is that when targeting an enemy (basic targeting pin - not the poke pin) the yo-kai's favorite food is displayed next below-right the pin. For locations on where to buy food, see "Where do I buy food XXX?"

- With poking, you should be able to raise the friendship rate 3 times, assuming the desired yo-kai spawns with others. See this guide:

- The superstar soul can be created as soon as you have rank C watch. Step-by-step guide:
1) Catch a shmoopie in downtown springdale
2) Catch an illoo in Harrisfield
3) Use the illoo on the spot outside the office in downtown springdale to access floor 4
4) Catch a cupistol on floor 4
5) Buy a love scepter from jungle hut, fuse with shmoopie to get pinkipoo
6) Soulcery the cupistol and the pinkipoo to soul gems, and then add the cupistol sould TO the pinkipoo soul.
7) Enjoy the moderately higher catch rate as long as super star soul is equipped.

Q) Where do I buy food XXX?
A) List:

Bread: Bakery in breezy hills.
Candy: Candy Apple from a stand at "festival mode" Mt. Wildwood shrine.
Chocobar: Candy shop near watch shop. There are no upgraded chocobars, so catching -nyan's is ultimate cancer.
Milk: Springs near the watch shop.
Drinks: Voltextremes drop randomly when you purchase from a soda machines.
Hamburger: Burger shop in downtown sprindale.
Fish: Check fish store in breezy hills and store in San Fantastico.
Ramen: Shop in flower lane (shoppers row)
Chinese food: "
Meat: "
Veggies: "
Sushi: "
Curry: Curry shop on the west side of downtown springdale.
Sweets: Cafe on the east side of downtown springdale.
Doughnuts: Two shops on shoppers row.

Q) Where do I befriend XXX?
A) Unfortunately the wiki is slow to add this information. If you can read Japanese, the below link should be useful. Otherwise ask on the thread.

Q) Why can't I fuse XXX with Jibanyan?
A) Jibanyan doesn't fuse in YW2 like he did in YW1. You can get a thornyan OR a baddinyan near the apartments in shopper's row early in the game. You may need to trade to get both, though this FAQ writer is a faggot and isn't sure.

Q) Why did they add tripping?
A) Apparently tripping is not random but a result of your feet being wet. Avoid puddles if it bothers you.

Q) Doors of whimsy?
A) See the "Mystery doors" section of this FAQ:
