Biannual reminder that Yugioh killed Pokemon in the early aughts, and it'll never be even remotely as popular among normal and well-adjusted people because of it.

Besides, people just "grew out" of Pokemon. Even if Yugioh never existed Pokemon would have become a lot less popular by gen 3.

Stop deluding yourself. If you got found with Yugioh cards in High School, you were looked down on. There were these people that played during lunch in my high school and people always made fun of them. Pokemon and Yugioh are kid shit in the eyes of normals.

The stance on adults liking stuff meant for kids is similar to or even STRICTER in Japan than it is in the US.

Do you realize the Nintendo bashing scene in the japanese online gaming culture is just as strong as it is in the west?

Cool your fucking jets.

Anyway, I've found a combo of Pokémon (since you're managing energy sources) and YuGiOh (the attack/defense aspect in a roundabout way) are a good way to build kids up into Magic.

I remember when the card game first came out in the US for Yugioh, they were so many holes in those fucking rules because it was OBVIOUS the game was designed to be played through scripted matches rather than actual dynamic real life gameplay.

well duh thats what I'm saying, but they were a lot more than usual because those rules were written for scripted comic plots rather than actual gameplay.

And of course Magic has holes, its always changing.

I don't mind, OP. If something is fun, it's fun. And Pokemon and Yugioh are both fun. Although Pokemon has a better video game and Yugioh has a better card game.

I played Yugioh during lunch in high school. There were at least 20 of us. Some were even normal people. One was a football player. One was a very adept music kid who could play a multitude of instruments. One was a complete stoner. One one was a cross country runner. It rocked.

Was pretty popular in my school. Either way, as somebody who still follows the YGO scene, they no longer wish to associate with the child scene and want to be known as a game for teens and up.

The problem really is that, because they established themselves as a child's game, see still see them as that.
