<![CDATA[Pokemon is killing Yu-Gi-Oh!]]>(There's no TCG category so I just put this here)
So if you look at any form of Yu-Gi-Oh! social media it will be flooded with people complaining about the current state of the game and saying old Yu-Gi-Oh! is better. This is just the start because both Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh! have animes that were popular in the 2000s. So, the people that are way too high on nostalgia gas playing their game and realizing it's not the same as the show... typically swap to the TCG that is more accurate to the show.
Pokemon has always been more of a collectible game than playing game, and with the rarest cards being the "hype ones" from the anime and manga, the game caters to the nostalgia junkies that clown on Yu-Gi-Oh! for being too complicated and an entirely different game. This is causing Yu-Gi-Oh! to lose players and Pokemon to be more popular. And when the nostalgia glazers come to social media complaining about Yu-Gi-Oh! and saying Pokemon TCG is better, new players choose Pokemon.
I'm curious on your guys' thoughts and while I haven't seen much Yu-Gi-Oh! fans here I think Pokemon players should discuss too.

(which is hard to do sometimes because dragons are really good)

i hated my yugio cards bc none of them were pretty it was all like...guy stuff TvT
i dont like magic as much for the same reason though magic does have some cute and beautiful cards, my fav is my opal unicorn that i lost:/ i also think magic is fun and simple enough to get into

i think yugioh just isnt good enough to live on the way magic and pokemon are:P
