What is the name of the third version of Yo-kai Watch 2 in North America?

The story behind the answer

The third version of Yo-kai Watch 2 in North America was Psychic Specters. It was the enhanced edition of the second mainline Yo-kai Watch game, following the North American releases of Bony Spirits and Fleshy Souls.

In Japan, the three versions were Yo-kai Watch 2: Ganso, Honke, and Shinuchi. Shinuchi was released on December 12, 2014, and became Psychic Specters in English-speaking markets. It retained the core story of Yo-kai Watch 2 while adding new quests, characters, areas, and other content designed to expand the adventure.

The first two versions were not simply different titles for the same game: Bony Spirits and Fleshy Souls used version-specific Yo-kai and exclusives, encouraging trading between players. Psychic Specters incorporated much of that version-specific content while adding its own material. A frequent mistake is treating Ghostly Souls as the third edition; that name is not the North American title of any Yo-kai Watch 2 version.
