>>34502951>but having a clunky white bracelet didn't helpWhoa a power bracelet that powers up the MC that is so uncommon in anime and manga. Also i love how you completely skipped on explaining about the Mega Bracelet.
>it has a fucking ghost pad tooNo, it has a ghost with a useful pad. Pokemon had the Pokedex since 1996. Pokemon had the Poltergeist-like Pokemon since 2006. Pokemon had plans of speaking to them ingame since 2002. Rotom was heavily featured in the Pokedex section of the anime with the Pokedex's creator not only before YW's anime release but before the game too.
>>34502972Maybe because they're retarded comparisons?
I would never deny the shitty SM anime being inspired by YW in tone and general atmosphere. I would never deny a black, red eyed and a white, blue eyed dragon Pokemon appearing when Yu-gi-oh! faced a "resurgence" with the general public.
I would deny attack poses, items and super moves being exclusively used by YW because they're in shittons of other franchises. I would deny Megas being copied from Digimon because Mega Digimon is not only a dub thing and basically anime only, but again super modes are in a shitton of other things. Fucking Dragonball exists you know? Or every JRPG with an edgy protagonist. Or goddamn Naruto.
I would deny Alola forms being copied from Digimon because every fucking JRPG on Earth has recolored monsters. I would never say YW copied Pokèmon as a monster collecting franchise because Pokemon doesn't hold the exclusive to that(and SMT came way before it anyway...)
Is YW copied by Medabots because they both use little collectable medals as their "monster"'s focal point? No, because that's a fucking retarded thing to say.
Comparing franchises is a good thing. Saying that one copied the other because they have similar things to OTHER franchises that aren't even in the equation is retarded. I just play the games instead of shitting on one while praising the other.
