For what though?

As far as the anime, manga and trading card game? Yu-Gi-Oh! all day, babaayyyy!

The video games? Pokémon.

And I guess I can take the time to say Digimon is shit. Beyblade was kinda cute lol


Anime is what i had in mind when i made the post.
My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine.

We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by

Digimon Adventure is my favorite, I'm not however fan of it's sequels or Tamers.
The OST is still amazing.


Have you actually watched Tamers? I think it has overall better characterization. Could have been better than Digimon S1 if it didnt go downhill once it went full isekai. still, a good entry. but yeah, I also prefer S1.

You guys are sleeping on the Pokemon manga, it's an absolute masterpiece.
If the anime is a 7/10 overall, the manga is a 10/10.

From what I observed in USA the Anime isn't particularly close in popularity to the other 2, my guess is because of the English dub been the weakest (and Opening song Digi-rap version for USA) (and some censorship?).

No, I think Digimon is also less popular in Japan. There was no Digimon anime airing for a few years between Savers and Xros Wars, and there was yet another hiatus after Xros Wars. Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh make so much money that they're allowed to air non-stop for over 20 years at a time. And that explains why Americans talk about Digimon less. It was popular while it aired, but there was nothing to air after Frontier ended.

Over the years I have noticed Digimon is more liked among the Anime Community compared to the other 2 (Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh)


From what I observed in USA the Anime isn't particularly close in popularity to the other 2, my guess is because of the English dub been the weakest (and Opening song Digi-rap version for USA) (and some censorship?).


Here in Latin America (Hispanic one) their Anime are way more closer in popularity, since they respected the dubbing, there was NOT censorship (and the Opening got dubbed to sound like the original from Japan, which is very beloved) (this mainly referring to the first versions/series of these anime).



OT: My vote goes for Digimon.


Yeah there was alot of yugioh and pokemon back a few years ago.
Always loved Digimon

I don't see Digimon Anime regarded as much as the other 2 by English speakers with that refering to people who aren't in the anime community and which haven't watched anything outside the older series.

Yeah, but I think the difference is that those people are aware of modern Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon, even if they don't actively follow them. The last English dubbed Digimon to air on TV was "Fusion," aka Xros Wars episodes 1-54. Unlike Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh – with their video games and card games – Digimon's success in America was limited to its anime.

I think the only good beyblade was the 2001 version the original, the newer ones had some really bad CGI

Yu-gi-oh or digimon were most consistently good

Pokemon is the best but this is only the first few seasons and a few OVA's like Pokemon Origins & Twilight wings...then of course some movies were good too

So in general i'll say pokemon was the best but not every season, some people say digimon was better than pokemon but I disagree not the first few seasons of pokemon or the OVA's

By ignoring the internet.

I only knew of what Alolan Ash looked like when I stumbled on some then-current Pokémon media late into the season, and I have little to no contact with the Pokémon fandom.

The same is true for Kirby, Viewtiful Joe, and Megaman. I'm not sure that any of them belong on the poll.

Trading cards: Yu-Gi-Oh!
Video games: Pokemon
Anime: Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh! (probably tied)

When it comes to Digimon, I’ve only seen Digimon Adventures and that was kind of average in my opinion.

I’ve never seen Beyblade, Bakugan, and Fighting Foodons, and I have no plans to either lol 👌

The best is Digimon though Yugioh is 2nd. Yugioh was great until 5ds ended.
Pokemon anime went to mediocrity after Johto arc imo. I am surprised Pokemon still has so many fans.

Yugioh used to have the best games of the 3 though Digimon Cyber Sleuth was amazing. For the games, Pokemon went to crap after gen 5 ended.

Fighting Foodons was the best. The battles had real stakes and monsters were at risk of actually dying.

None, I prefer gunpla commercials.


"much staples of the early 2000's anime fandom"

Ewww, OP idea of 2000's anime fandom is kind of dystopian.

Maybe unlike you, the OP isn't over 60.

Every answer besides Beyblade is wrong. In Beyblade lore, Moses parted the Red Sea using a Beyblade.



Let me repeat that, Moses parted the Red Sea using a Beyblade. Beyblade is the only anime worth calling a masterpiece, it's like it was written by Shakespeare.

2. Funny thing tho, I watched my first Gundam many many years after my first episodes of Pokemon, Digimon and Yu-Gi-Oh!, so it's not "nostalgia is a bitch" situation, I just love sci-fi + mechanical monstrosities destroying infrastructure.

jokes aside, I assumed you were into older anime, but now that I look at your profile the oldest on your favorites list is FLCL from 2000. You kinda have that "born before the 90's" vibe.

1. I like all the anime periods.
The oldest anime I like is Sabu to Ichi Torimono Hikae from 1968...never completed it tho because the fansub stalled. The newest is from 2021.
2. "Pokemon, Yugioh, Beyblade, Digimon, Bakugan" are actually old by nowadays standards...and I still don't like them.

EndlessMaria said:

Those 10 are random representatives of the genres I like. For example there's Yamato 2199 instead of Gundam 00 because I am more into space opera than space opera + giant robots.


EndlessMaria said:

I am 48 so theoretically could watch Gundam 0079 as it aired...but I was born in Eastern Europe so none of the Gundam shows + movies ever came in my country on TV, in movie theaters or on VHS/DVD.
On the other hand Pokemon, Yugioh, Beyblade, Digimon, Bakugan and Beyblade came on TV and DVD and yes, I was adult at the time, but I doubt I would be impressed by them as kid. In my youth I liked stuff like Kagaku Kyuujo-tai TechnoVoyager (aka Thunderbirds 2086) and Uchuusen Sagittarius.
