I mean, does that mean the Dragon Quest "universe" exists in tandem with Hydaelyn because of that one event where you could fight a DQ golem and get its minion? At least with the Lightning Returns and Shantotto, it's kinda a Final Fantasy lore point that each of its worlds could technically be accessed through the Void. Hence why Gilgamesh bounces around from game to game.I go with a slightly different angle and say some are creatures/monsters/pets from Doma, while the more weird/humanoid ones are mammets or humanoid monsters, but eh, Who knows? I sure don't.Â
For the Yo-Kai Watch minions... I would go less saying "Yes, that means the Yo-Kai exist on Hydaelyn" and more twisting what we're given in a different angle. Perhaps they're mammets based off creatures from Doman stories or the like if you want to use them around those who might be more lore-focused. But that is all personal preference.
Basic list of what could be what:
Jibanyan (Definitely a Pet, probably related to domestic Coeurls.)
Komasan (Pet kept by Shrine Caretakers.)
Usapyon (Mammet. Or should we call it a Rabmet?)
Whisper (Friendly kind of Monster, probably more of a companion than a pet.)
Shogunyan (See: Jibanyan with a costume somone put on it.)
Hovernyan (Gaelikitten Variant from Doma? Pet regardless!)
Komajiro (Pet kept by Shrine Caretakers.)
Noko (Eccentric/exotic Pet. Not too sure what it would be otherwise.)
Venoct (Mammet based off of a legendary Person, or maybe off of a Monster? Possibly even a type of monster impersonating a Mammet to avoid being killed.)
Kyuubi (Could be a mammet, or a rare monster that the mammet was based off of? The monster is probably not welcome, so it'd probably have to impersonate a Mammet in public.)
Robonyan F-type (Mammet. 100% pure Mammet.)
Blizzaria (Mammet based off of a doll...or a Monster that's imitating one. Could probably be a young Yuki-onna, if you're so inclined. See also: Venoct, Kyuubi)
Manjimutt (Monster that looks like a dog with a man's face. Otherwise harmless, if somewhat disturbing.)
As for the guy who gives them to you, he's probably just from Doma itself, and an executive of a pet company, who deal in these rare creatures, monsters, pets, and mammets. Probably to save them from dying out too, considering what happened to Doma.
...And that's how I've been rationalizing it ICly.
