SCREW THE RULES I HAVE MONEY!

Huh. Didn't know about that. I stopped watching after kingdom cause yugioh was already getting lame at that point around where I grew up.

That's no excuse!
That sounds ridiculously amazing.
I was at the age where yugioh was still cool, and people got made fun of if they played duel masters.

The GBA game was pretty fun to play I guess.

Yugioh actually started as a super fucked up creepy manga about a kid with an evil ghost who takes over his body and challenges people to death games. There were serial killers getting burned alive. Mindrapings. Near death every chapter. It was crazy. Then one chapter, Kaiba showed up and they played Duel Monsters. That chapter was the most popular one by a mile, so when ratings were dropping, the creator changed it to just be the cardgame. Similar to how other comedy series make the turn to action to save ratings, they made the change to cardgames. Because kids love cardgames.
Now that I think about it..... 5d's is kinda like road warrior..... but with childrens trading cards.

Actually more fun that the card games.

It was the opposite here. Yugioh got popular and lame first, duel masters came after. And wasn't duel masters just a mtg ripoff? Or is that something else?
Yo I had that shit. I also had the video game of it and it was surprisingly good.You guys remember dungeon dice monsters?
That really took off.
It was this failed spinoff of yugioh trading cards.
Imo, it was actually more fun than the actual card game, but it was so expensive no one played it.
You're thinking Pokemon.

Jesus, that sounds waaay better than the yugioh we got. How the hell did that get retconned away?
Everything felt like a ripoff of Pokemon when we were kids.

All this Yugioh talk, so is anyone actually watching Yugioh Arc-V besides me and Glitches?
Pokemon has too much monopoly. It is literally unchallenged to this day.
Digimon is nothing like pokemon, and it was still considered a rip off.
Digimon was a better show.

No, i swear there was a cardgame, not pokemon, that was basically just a mtg reskin.
They were trying to sell that premise to children in the 90s. Japan was past it's Kenshiro Deathlands kicks for all ages era.
Nope, stopped after 5D's.
Duel Masters or Chaotix?

In the anime it wasn't canon. There was a season 0 before it, but the anime in general just started fresh.
That fucked up stuff is still canon in the manga we got here. It's weird how they shift tones so dramatically.
Okay, I want that version of Yugioh.

Digimon had better movies too imo. Our war game is the shit.

Pokemon designs were much more pleasant to the eye, and the games were easier to get into.
Also, Pokemon was better at selling it's product.

You couldn't find the dice anywhere either.
The idea is so novel and would've been a fun game to play.

It has to be duel masters cause I've never played chaotix.

The manga is pretty fun, it holds up pretty well too. I think that part of it is only a few volumes too. Check that shit out.

I've never seen summer wars, but apparently its just "our war game"
No one did.

Rightly so. Omnimon is the fuckin coolest.Baby sjay was losing his fucking mind over ominmon

All the edge in the design is concentrated in that sword.

Ow, the edge.
I got those same digimon figures. Fucking hype.

I think there's actually a weird theory as to why that is. Something about the ho oh he saw way back in the beginning granting his wish to be a pokemon trainer forever.
