>>20590427Really? Not playing pretend (vidya was banned) Pokemon while doing stupid shit like pretending to be your favourite Pokemon and "catching" a professor and having him battle for you was pretty much the highlight of my ten-year-old life.
I had a brief Digimon stint, but that only lasted a week or so.>>20590447Ah, yeah. Right. The time when everyone's too cool and edgy for it.
Is Yu-Gi-Oh really that much simpler? There's a bunch of stuff with phases and whatnot that makes it complex as well, though thinks like Syncro summons and XYZ summons hadn't been invented yet. I'll definitely give you the show, though; I honestly liked both. Yu-Gi-Oh cards can have some pretty amazing illustrations, and they're almost always really detailed. It's impressive. I love the style of the old Pokemon cards, though, and these days they also have some pretty great artwork.
