Regular Yo-kai

are Yo-kai who hail from the present day in time within the Yo-kai Watch series, given this name retroactively following the release of Yo-kai Watch 2: Ganso and Honke and the Classic Yo-kai.

The Present Yo-kai have a variety of differently-styled Yo-kai Medals.
 * The Yo-kai originally released with the first game have silver nondescript medals, with trapezoid-shaped corners that frame the etched in directional arrow and tribe insignia of that Yo-kai.
 * Following the advent of the Yo-kai Watch's Model Zero model, all Present Yo-kai introduced in Yo-kai Watch 2 have, which are pastel green-colored Yo-kai Medals.
 * Those who have Z-Medals following the introduction of the Yo-kai Watch U are named due to these Medals featuring a little "U" in the top right corner of the Medal's artwork. Among the Yo-kai introduced in Yo-kai Watch 3 have those medals.
 * The Merican Yo-kai are considered a sub-section of Present Yo-kai based in America.
