Fall of Pokemon And Yugi-oh

We all like these shows at some point until they becames empty shells of there former glory. Post what you think caused the dying of these once beautiful shows. And yes I'm talking bout the English dubbed vers.

BECAUSE POKEMON'S STORY JUST SUCKED ASS, WAS WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY TOO KIDDY, AND WAS JUST STUPID. WHY IT SUCKED? TOO FUCKING REPETITIVE. SAME SHIT FOR 90% OF THE EPISODES. WATCHING IT JUST MADE YOU RETARDED AND WAS AN INSULT TO PEOPLE WHO LIKE POKEMON BUT ARE BEING FUCKED WITH BY THE BS WRITERS. CHARACTERS SUCKED, STORIES SUCKED, AND IT GOT WORST WHEN THEY COULDN'T EVEN PULL OFF USING THE ACTUAL STORIES FROM THE GAMES. AND LET'S NOT GET STARTED WITH THE MOVIES, JUST FUCK EM.

YuGiOh on the otherhand...well it just was one of those things that didn't really seem interesting after they passed the battle island arc. By then you know the story format already, and the card battles was dull since it's like watching one of those sports animes. You rather be actually playing than watching cartoon characters play. But overall, MOST PEOPLE STOPPED BUYING THE FUCKING CARDS BECAUSE IT WAS A WASTE OF MONEY! THEY JUST KEPT MAKING MORE AND MORE, AND PEOPLE JUST DON'T WANT TO EMPTY THEIR WALLETS BUYING FUCKING CARDS. ESP. WHEN THEY JUST KEEP TRYING TO MAKE MORE OP CARDS EVERY TIME!!!

In the end, I'm still a fan of pokemon, but only a fan of the games and Manga. The games are still good and keep you well entertained, and they are always adding a few new innovations in them all the time. The manga? It just has a better story, better logic involved, and it's humorous in a non retarded, cheesy way. Besides people and pokemon actually die!!! Also for the most part, IT ACTUALLY HAS CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!!!!

QFT!

The dub completly killed the series for me, to the point where I wont go near any of the Pokemon merch, be it games, manga, etc.

as for Yu-Gi-Oh! I ABSOLUTELY FUCKING HATE WHAT THEY DID WITH THAT SERIES! The dub sucks so hard, that it makes me feel so ashamed to still be a fan of the series (Yeah, i'm still a fan, don't hate lol), I can't openly admit that I like the series, not even to my fellow anime followers because the dub will always haunt the yugioh franchise with it's STUPID GOD DAMNED "heart of the cards" BULL SHIT!!!

so... yeah...

I stopped watching Pokemon halfway through Johto, then watched bits and pieces of it up until the end. It got tiresome, since it was the same thing every single time.

Yugioh was about the same.

What if Pokemon was based off the manga - BAH GAWD

Which one? There's at least two I know of.

I'm not sureeeee.

I stopped liking pokemon around the The Johto Journeys to master quest seasons

I lost intrest in pokemon mainly becuase of the pokemon and it began to seem repetitive.

Maybe if yugi actually used a deck that actually works in the real life game since his deck is ZOMG ITS SO RANDOM and always there is a bs effect of his cards.

Ash is still on a journey?WTF

The odd episode has always been good for a laugh just for the completely OTT, oxymoronic dramatism of the voice acting. But yeah, I only watched either with any regularity when they first started, and that wasn't for long. As with any series of that length, they're all exactly the same.

I would say the most popular known pokemon manga one. Pokemon Special.

BECAUSE YUGI-OH IS JUST A FUCKING CARD GAME. It wasn't bad at the beginning, but when yugi left the series it got stupid.

well original yugioh was good and manga was great

after yugi era it went stupid having dueling school and now dueling on motorcycles lolz

pokemon will never end ash and friends gone crazy as the season keeps going

You know how these shows stay fresh? New viewers.

Think about it - you watched Pokemon when you were 10, and you loved it. You loved it to death. You would step over your own mother's body to watch that show. Fast-forward ten years, and you think it's shit. But the kids that didn't even exist when you watched the show love it. They have replaced you.

That's why Pokemon restarts every couple of years, with new characters, new environments, and new Pokemon, so that the new viewers won't be confused. They don't have to know who Misty was because they've got Dawn. There may be throwbacks to old episodes, but the viewer doesn't have to have seen those episodes to understand what's happening in the current story.

The kids that love Pokemon now will hate it in ten years, and the kids born today will watch it then.

I say 8 years.

Speaking of dubs, did you know that the 4kids company has drop into a worser financial situation than last year where they can be brought? New managerment would had done them some good, but it's far too late for that now. I hoping by the fall, it will just disappear. Finally, some justice for the 6yrs of bullshit. When that day comes, there will be celebrations all around; I can't wait.

Yu-Gi-Oh! is still amazing...although I could do without the motorcycles -_-

BAHAHAHAHA

As much as I love the Pokemon games, the anime was always just a marketing tool.
Surely you can understand that: they don't need to make it amazing to sell their product.
Still, yeah, it was pretty fun back when there were just 151 of em.

I stopped watching Pokemon when Misty left. WORST DECISION EVER!
I stopped watching Yu-Gi-Oh when it was cancelled on Cartoon Network. Didn't bother to continue cause it didn't make any sense anymore but I'm retracing the show with Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged.
