Ash Ketchum Vs Nate Adams
- Main character kids who started a great adventure once opening a ball! And from such ball, they knew their best friends (Pikachu and Whisper).
- After this^, they also goes around and meet multiple more creatures who helps them in their journey after befriending such creatures (Yo-Kai constantly gives their Medal to Nate allowing him to summon them, while Ash caught a lot of Pokémon in these 20+ years).
- Both are pretty used to a "talking cat" around (Meowth and Jibanyan)
- Both have somewhat unique methods of "Identifying the Monster" in their front, a.k.a Guides (Ash's Pokédex offers info on Pokémon, but sometimes mocks Pallet Boy and he gets mad at it! Despite this being more of a early seasons thing. While Nate's "Yo-Kai Dex" would be Whisper himself telling stuff to Nate, pretending he knows such Yo-Kai very well while he's just reading stuff he found on his Yo-Kai Pad, while Nate tends to mock Whisper for "such wisdom" constantly
- Both of them have ancestors who also are involved in Yo-Kai/Pokémon situations (Nate's Grandpa was a friend of Hovernyan and helped a lot of Yo-Kai during his life, while [despite his identity being unknown] Ash's father is a confirmed Pokémon Trainer).
- They are know for making hilarious grimaces in their respective animes, with sometimes such grimaces being even funnier than the joke who generated it.
- Both use an Watch-like device which allows them to interact with their respective monsters in some way (Ash's Z-Ring being necessary to use a Z-Move in his Pokémon; while Nate's Yo-Kai Watch names the franchise and allows him to see and summon Yo-Kai)
- In addition, both devices require a previous bond with their partners in order to work properly. Ash can't just catch a random Pokémon and use a Z-Move without bonding, while Nate will never get the Yo-Kai's medal if he doesn't bond with such Yo-Kai first.
- Despite both of them being kids, they are completely opposite poles when it comes down to love. While Nate is a complete (ABSOLUTE) simp for Katie, Ash is completely oblivious on love to the point that he never even suspected Serena or even Miette had a crush on him.
