ParanoidObsessive 07/07/22 11:47:38 AM #4:	keyblader1985 posted... Your series changed the world. Did it, though? I mean, I'm not going to dispute whether or not it was popular or whether or not you enjoyed it personally, but did it really change anything? Was it really a huge influence on tons of things that came afterward? Because it feels to me like everything it did was already done before by something else. Card games? Magic was a thing first, and the Pokemon CCG predates it as well (and both likely inspired it in the first place). Anime tied in with a card game? Again, Pokemon. Yu-Gi-Oh made tons of money, sure - but I'm not sure the world would look any different right now if he'd never invented it. I don't even think it spawned a wave of direct imitators the way Magic and Pokemon did. Or radically changed any facet of pop culture that I'm aware of. Maybe I'm wrong - maybe it had a huge impact in a way I'm completely unaware of. But it doesn't seem all that influential overall. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:966403378] in Kazuo Taka...

keyblader1985 07/07/22 6:56:53 PM #15:	ParanoidObsessive posted... ... Dude; for one offhand line in response to a death? ;>_> Anyway, I didn't say it was innovative, but it was big in a lot of ways. The manga spawned several anime series. That spawned the card game which was big in ways that Pokemon never was; while many Pokemon fans never got into the cards (or at least never actually played the game), it's almost unheard of to be into Yu-Gi-Oh without the game, thanks in part to the dozens of official video games (while Pokemon TCG got, like, two). Pokemon, Magic the Gathering, and many others existed before YGO, but it still brought card games to the mainstream worldwide in a way that nothing else did. --- Official King of PotD You only need one T-Rex to make the point, though. ~ Samus Sedai <cite>keyblader1985 posted [p:966413656] in Kazuo Taka...

Was it really a huge influence on tons of things that came afterward? Not really, no. It helped a few cash-ins jump on the bandwagon and it had an impact on CCGs for a few years, but nothing really lasting. ParanoidObsessive posted... Anime tied in with a card game? Again, Pokemon. No? YGO was a series about a CCG (eventually), Pokemon was a series with a CCG. YGO wasn't the first show built around a game iirc, but it kinda pushed that craze for a while. Not as much as Pokemon had a craze going, but it had some traction. Metalsonic66 posted... Most kids my age who collected Pokemon cards never bothered actually playing the card game.
