i don't know or care because i've never been interested in card games. if i had to guess, i'd say pokemon is probably better, because just look at the fucking mess that is pic related. this shit has more fine print than an insurance ad.
>character designs
gen 5 and beyond has better designed characters than yu-gi-oh. yu-gi-oh has gens 1-4 beat, though.
>monster designs
pokemon. yu-gi-oh tries to do the same detailed aesthetic as smt and digimon, but it doesn't have any of the charm.
>anime
yu-gi-oh wins by default just because pokemon has the worst anime ever created.
