>>20712451>AnimeYGO is stupid, but it's more withstandable than Pokemon
>Card GameI don't know enough to do a mechanics comparison. I think they both require the same skills, though.
>vidyaPokemon. No contest.
>toys/merchPokemon. Still no contest.
>monster designs/namesThis is something that's harder for me to quantify. The styles are so different, but I can't really say one style is better than the other.
>metaSee card games. For the meta of the cards vs. the meta of the pokemon games, they're both infested by people who have inflated egos.
>FandomPokemon is really dangerously close to becoming what the YGO fandom is, but they are invariably worse since literally nothing but competitive exists for them. We still have a small group of people who are in Pokemon for other things, but I fear the rift will cause them to become the shunned among the shunned.
