Because Boktai bombed in the US and Europe. Konami decided to scrap all traces from the game.

I.E, they did not want to lose sales for Lunar Knights because if they released it as Boktai DS, other people would not buy it due to Boktai being a losing series.

The reason why it was a losing series is because in the U.S. and Europe, getting sunlight is harder than in Japan, which is also the reason why Boktai 3 was not released.

God, let me say it loud and clear: THE GOAL OF A COMPANY IS TO MAKE MONEY. English speaking countries did not like Boktai, so them not releasing Shinbok here wasn't a big blow to them.

Be happy we actually got Lunar Knights, because I doubt we'll ever get any other Boktai game.

Not very on topic, but I just thought of something.
If it is "money first" with them, then why did SquareSoft not release Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix in English? They said that they did not release it due to it not being worth it to re-release it in the US, but I think they could scam it up. (Yet I doubt that every company scams everyone. I am not one of those Hate-Konami's-tactics people. In fact, I do not hate any company at all. A lot of people may be opposed to my "do not hate video game companies" philosophy, but that is how I think that they should be treated. And also, I doubt that you 100% hate Konami, because it is because of Konami that Boktai was invented in the first place! Hold your peace regarding your dislike/hate of video game companies and their ideas, people!)

Also, I think that even though sunlight is much easier to get in Puerto Rico, I extremely doubt that teeny-weeny PR will be enough to counteract all the complaints of the USA and Europe. (This is weird because, like I mentioned earlier, I am from Puerto Rico!) But it is possible...

They probably thought we wouldn't buy it, but then saw how much we gobbled up KH2 that they decided to bring KH2:FM here (I think).

The only reason that boktai went down the drain in english is because they over played the solar sensor. If not for that we would probably have boktai 3 AND the ryuusie stuff in Lk.
