“Hey guys I love the podcast and I have been listening since February of this year and it has been a great addition to my weekly work life. It’s nice to your guys opinions not just about Yugioh but interesting news, movies, and the latest Pokémon crimes.
I do have a question. People always compare Yugioh to Pokemon, and rightfully so. I know the collecting part of the Pokemon brand is a huge part of the game, but I feel Yugioh also has that appeal and is never talked about in the same context. I feel Konami knows this and that’s why they always release DM and other nostalgia support. I feel a huge part of the community resents this practice of printing cards for fan fav archetypes like blue eyes, hero’s, DM, and ect.) but in the Pokemon tcg it is celebrated.
My question is do you think Konami is poorly communicating this aspect of the brand to their audience or is the Yugioh community just ready to move on from what yugioh used to be? Some people say it’s because the Yugioh community is too competitive but compared to other tcg’s prize support I feel that argument falls flat. Why just focus on the competition of the game and not the love of the IP. Pokemon who has better rewards for competition can balance both so why can’t Yugioh?
Thanks again and please keep pumping out more episodes of the Pod :)”
