You've obviously have never seen the Japanese version of Yu-Gi-Oh!. It's way different in Japan. America's far too uptight with what it shows and almost always butchers animés, with an exception of Pokémon, which is the same in Japania. The Pokémon series is repetitive and is, literally, the same thing over and over again. I see a commercial for a NEW Pokemon called Pokémon ADVANCED. I, of course, though to myself, "Finally. Something new." I decide to check it out, after not watching it for years. Sure enough, Team Rocket blasts onto the screen and, immediately, I turn off the TV. Yu-Gi-Oh! actually changes.

EDIT: Just realized that this was in the General Gaming forum. Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG > Pokémon TCG. Yu-Gi-Oh! video-games are equal to Pokémon video-games.
