I think this is kind of an issue with a lot of these shows, live action and animated, where the easiest way to fit the multitudinous toys/cards in is to have a fetch quest and it doesn't always work in the best interests of the story, sadly.

Ah, you win some, you lose some, I guess?

Well, I didn't mind the fetch quest, just that, instead of having the MC make use of the literal 100 special cards he had to find, he instead used variations of his personal boss.

Like, imagine in Kamen Rider OOO, Eiji and Ankh still collected all the various medals, but instead of using like, ShaUTa, they used Super Taka, Mega Tora, Batta 3 and etc

So in Zexal, we had a main character with a massive variety of monsters he could use, and instead, he just used Utopia, but with bigger wings, or Utopia with a lion sword

Hahah, I see your point here, that does sound kind of absurd. Although, this is also reflective of exactly how I tend to play Pokémon games, so maybe I kind of relate here, lol.

Yeah, I barely change out my lineup either. Though Alpha Sapphire is the only game where I cleared the game with my oldest six.

I usually don't evolve them either, because recent starter evolutions... haven't been cute. (>_>)

Meanwhile, last gen featured my favorite starter and new all time favorite Pokemon, Primarina

And concerning YuGiOh, I guess part of the reason why them collecting and opting to not use the Number monsters irked me so much was because of Battle City in the OG series, and seeing Joey (Another lead cast member) collecting and modifying his deck.

Detroit Metal City.

There's also a live action movie with the guy who played L (Kenichi Matsuyama) as the MC. And a special appearance of Gene Simmons from KISS himself.

Last gen gave us Litten, who is my favourite! I actually adore everything about Sun/Moon, tbh.

Watching a character customise and improve their deck seems like a big draw for a series so I can totally get why it would be frustrating to see later Yugioh shows just not take advantage of that.

Hahha, as endearing as this is, I might be a little too inclined towards the Transilvanian Hunger school of face-painting to truly appreciate this.

It seems cute though... but please, don't start a conversation with me about music, otherwise you will be stuck here all day because I don't know when to shut up.

While this thread's still goin, I present Yuru Camp if no one hasn't yet! They weren't kidding when it's just a fun comfort show. I just got through S1 a few months ago while I was at a quarantine zone while I got the 'rona rona.

Gonna get through S2 soon!

This thread will outlive me! Oh, this looks super cute, I like the style of the design. It looks a bit like Koisuru Asteroid which I saw an episode of recently.

Hmmm, I'm only trusting you because you have the best Autobot leader as your icon. Consider it added to this very long list I now have, lol.
