Select-A-Coin

The is a Key Item and a type of Coin that only appears Yo-kai Watch 2.

It can only be obtained from taking photos with the Yo-kai Cam in the original Yo-kai Watch video game and allows the player to select from three exclusive Yo-kai from the Crank-a-kai with the coin.

Similar items called the S Select-A-Coin, SS Select-A-Coin and SSS Select-A-Coin appear in Yo-kai Watch: Wibble Wobble, with the former item appearing in Yo-kai Sangokushi: Kunitori Wars.

Overview
It is a round coin with a hand in a pointing pose, with a red-and-orange striped background around it and a grey border. Unlike other Coins which are classed as Items, the Select-A-Coin is a Key Item and cannot be sold at shops. The Select-A-Coin can be obtained by speaking to Mister E. at Mount Wildwood, if they have a photo taken with the Yo-kai Cam in the original Yo-kai Watch video game.

The Yo-kai Cam photo must be taken in the past real-life 24 hours, as it is recommended to start up the video game just to take the image. Any Yo-kai taken in the feature will work, but they must be saved onto the system of the Nintendo 3DS. The photo must also be taken on the same regional format of the video games, as any other region format will not work; Yo-kai Cam photos taken on an European copy of Yo-kai Watch will not work with an Australian copy of Yo-kai Watch 2. Though, photos taken on other languages of the game will work.

After the Coin is obtained, the player can pick from three different exclusive Yo-kai which are Komasan, Noko and Buchinyan which will play a short cutscene before the Yo-kai is befriended. Two more Select-A-Coins can be obtained, which are called the by doing the same method, but they're obtained through the Lambert Post Office in the Japanese Version 2.1 patch of Bony Spirits and Fleshy Souls.

Trivia

 * Though, the original Yo-kai Watch video game wasn't translated to Dutch and Russian, the feature still works if the game is an European copy in any language.
