Actually, Pokemon came out in Japan in the early '90s. I'm not sure about Yu-Gi-Oh!, but as far as Americanized Pokemon/Yugioh, Pokemon is older.

And the card game is just like Pokemon because every sunday there are a bunch of screaming, crying, cheering 8-year olds (with the occasional 17-year-old buck-toothed hick trying to be cool) swarming my local gaming shop for a tournament. It's sickening.

lemme see...princevegetam thinks that kids who play magic have no lives. and I'm assuming that kids who play XMvsSF online all day do?

then howcome i remember reading in an articile in times a long time ago about pokemon the creator originoly created it for a gameboy game.

if you are implying that i play this xmvssf game all day, well, i don't. i only play on fridays when i'm bored. and that comment wasn't intended for all magic game players, it was intended towards my peers.

nah........yu-gi-oh is a cool show........I know sometimes it can be stupid with their friendship things and heart of the cards.......so I only watch an episode when there's a fight.......

my opinion of yu-gi-oh is:

yu-gi-oh, medabots, beyblade, pokemon, digimon are all the same. it's always some story about a battle between too things(e.g. medabots, pokemon, beyblades, etc). they're all unoriginal anime (except maybe pokemon, since it started the whole thing), pathetic......

i heaent ben here in ages. those are like childrens books, only in anime form. and all childrens books end all too happily...like these animes. kids like them cuase they wre made for kids to like. its not my fault they were made for kids, not more mature people. I only like the animation and effects of those shows, if i wake up early enough to watch them. they dont suck cause i doubt that they were made for NE1 here(by age group, i guess). they're just much less violent, which decreases the plot. these animes try to get across a point of non-violence by showing you that there is another way to solve a rivalry, like in G-Gundam. but G-Gundam beats the crap out of NE kid anime. NEway, you cant 4get Hamtaro, and many others. they simply werent made for us, so we dont have as much of a right to critisize them. but thats just one Saiyans opinion.
