About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want over-the-top card battles, big friendship speeches, and a long, nostalgic adventure; Not for you if you dislike drawn-out duels, filler-heavy seasons, or loose rules like in Pokémon.

Pros: fun duels; memorable monsters; strong nostalgia | Cons: lots of filler; repetitive dialogue; confusing later arcs
