It really doesn't matter, If I am the main character I will keep drawing bullshit protaganist plot device cards to win every duel. If I am not the main character why bothering when I will always be stuck at the bottom.

Become the protagonists rival. That way you're always 2nd best and you get stupid bullshit luck in all of your duels with anyone that isn't the protagonist.

>>51994003
Sounds really lame but honestly I'd pick "Duel Monsters" (YuGiOh). It's cinematic and already lends itself to the setting. I just don't see anyone resolving a conflict by sitting down and rolling dice and check character sheets.

You will constantly be drawn to fight him, over and over again destined to lose each time. I don't know about you but that sounds a lot like sisyphus.
Not to mention the person you lose against probably has the mental capacity of a 5 year old.

"I leave Sisyphus at the foot of the mountain. One always finds one's burden again. But Sisyphus teaches the higher fidelity that negates the gods and raises rocks. He too concludes that all is well. This universe henceforth without a master seems to him neither sterile nor futile. Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night-filled mountain, in itself, forms a world. The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy."

Hey, Kaiba won once

>>51994003

That, us a very difficult question. The problem I have with this is that while I enjoy games I wouldn't want them to become a vehicle for conflict resolution, because then it wouldn't be funable anymore. It would make the game into work, and bring in more stress, and I play games to unwind. I'd rather it was just a world where you solved things by fisticuffs instead of a world that polluted my enjoyment of my hobby.

>>51994374
OK I'll bite, how does the slap work into it?

>>51994381

It's pretty simple actually. You play rock paper sicors, and then the winner slaps the looser. You just keep going back and forth until someone gives up and admits defeat. Sometimes one guy might get smacked a few times in succession, but most of the time you tend to just kind of go back and forth. Doesn't really do any lasting damage. Played when I was in scouts as a kid.

Monopoly, Game of life and Snakes and Ladders (the specific version I own that takes 45minutes to complete, if you throw the dice really fast). It depends on the region which game is played and between the throws one has to talk to each other for 15minutes yu gi oh style.

But, the very fact he has a task to do, even an impossible one, does that not fill him with purpose, no matter how absurd the idea of victory is? He has a labour to occupy his body while his mind is free to wonder, or he could dedicate the full extent of his being to the effort. So, after what is to be assured is a stage of grief and despair, one could imagine him reaching acceptance and then, happiness.
So even though you might be doomed to continually battle your rival without success, you still ultimately have an endeavour to pursue. The act of pursuing brings happiness, not just reaching the end.

Honestly i'd probably go for yugioh if i could bring my collection with me. Bring firepower like Infernity, Drill Warrior/dandylion, Agents at their prime, and relinquish would be enough to absolutely destroy entire countries worth of duelists. Assuming their power levels are the same as they are in the shows at least.

Though using an Exodia/D-Hero deck would be all sorts of hilarious. Nothing but D-Draws, Allure of Darkness, Trade-ins, and Pots of greed.

In the end i know i would end up playing a very specific deck. Purely to have the most amount of FUN in any tournament i enter. That deck of course being Ojama Synchro

I remain with yugioh for the first because it would be the least "luck involved" game, I.E. you don't get manascrewed out of a game and possibly get sent to eternal damnation. Second would be Vanguard because there's less pressure, like your life isn't on the line.

Some of the absurd special hands feel like yugioh asspulls (like why is it only a special hand to win from the very last draw of the game when it's the 1 dot?) but the basic game: sets get points, runs don't but complete the hand, everyone pays everyone their hand values except the winner, who also gets paid more, is pretty straightforward.

yes, But rather than playing the game they would instead learn economics, trade and diplomacy. After many decades these players would gain aclaim and influence and soon find positions of power.

Twilight imperium would usher in an age of political reason, diplomacy as people learn to think more then 3 minutes ahead.

I think of Sisyphus like this.

Yeah, he has an eternal torment of constantly repeating the same task every day only for his work to be pointless. But think of it this way, every day Sisyphus has the strength to push the rock up the hill, no matter how much his torment continues, he still has the strength to push it to the top.

Man settings like this in general are weird to me. Not to go too far off topic, but have you ever seen a person in Yugioh who doesn't play card games whatsoever? Ever see a guy in Pokemon who's life and profession has absolutely nothing to do with Pokemon? Entire worlds just bizarrely focused on these really narrow topics. Imagine if every single person in our world loved gardenkeeping and gardenkeepers owned the world with their unfathomable gardenkeeping might, every single person in the world kept their own gardens and some otherwise mild mannered people who seem irrelevant are actually really badass gardenkeepers in secret and have some of the wildest gardens in the world hidden in their basements.

It's just fuckin' strange.

>>52021647
Yes and no.

Pokemon if you recall, comprise pretty much EVERY wild animal in that universe. You can't do anything without pokemon mattering because of how signifigant loyal monsters with superpowers would be to ANY culture who had them.

Its like if you were in medival times and going "Jeeze, does everyone have something to do with animals?"

Yes.

>>52021735
Not really.

Construction, pokemon are super strong

Metal? Who is the best diggers

Farming? You need animals for that, even if its to pull plows, guess who?

Weather prediction? You can litterally choose the weather with a castform

Speculative trading? Psychic pokemon can calculate things faster then you can.

Cooking? Fire pokemon.

Pokemon is set in a post-apocalyptic world where people restrict technology in order to not repeat the mistakes of the past and maintain the idyllic state of the world.
Simple as that. Think Shinsekai Yori.

>>52023044
Red/Blue had a few implications of a fairly recent War, but it was dropped after that and even then the scope of the war was never really expanded upon, so it could have been a pretty minor one.

>>52023094
It was World War 2. Lt. Surge is canonically an American, which means America exists.

>>51994252
Probably read that book twenty times a decade ago.

Thanks anon.

>>52023103
>World War 2
Surge would have to be at the least in his 70s if not 80s if that was the case, and he doesn't look like an old man.

>>52023115
You're right. Even considering 1995 age when the game came out, he wouldn't be as young as he looks. Plus, he probably wouldn't be there as a prominent Gym leader in Japan.

Considering when the game was made though, it had to be the Gulf War.

>The balls themselves, when thrown, will not only stop mid air to deliver their payload, but will also COMPLETELY and PERFECTLY reverse direction back to the thrower, defying all logic and breaking every law of physics.
Not really, the energy of the pokemon being sent forward forces the pokeball backwards.

>>52023115
>>52023133
I think one of his lines was about his electrical pokemon helping restart his stricken plane's systems, wasn't it?

>>52023302
Then why does it not do so until after the pokemon is released, and do so perfectly even if thrown as a curveball, as Ash does often?

>>52023302
1. No, not it doesn't, the ball stops mid air, then releases the pokemon, then it reverses its arc backwards perfectly.

2. You are blind and/or retarded.

Well according to some theories and hinted at in the games, the pokemon games take place in multiple dimensions, with each console/handheld being its own dimension.

>>52023011
You are ten
Cars exist but you don't have a liscence so you get to fucking walk.

Bear in mind the pokemon journey appears to be a life affirming walkabout deal where you explore the land you live in and figure out your lot in life.

This is why even people like Tierno who only wants to dance, is happy to go on a adventure.

So even if they had supercars you probbably aren't allowed to use this.

>>52020083
That's fine by me, doesn't need to be meta to win in the show.

>>52023510
>You are ten
Great defense, except the part where a 10 year-old is allowed to wander through the wild with an abundance of wild, deadly animals unsupervised.

>>52022270
Tell them to fire Fabio Fontes and get a better fucking artist

>>52023526
Besides his own significantly deadlier pokemon. And also said "deadly" pokemon, if they beat you let you walk away quietly and mind their own business.

And unsupervised? There are people watching every route you are on. You are quite supervised.

You just want to be clever and are upset you aren't.

>>52023571
>Besides his own significantly deadlier pokemon.
1. Assuming. Not every town has an Oak to handout Pokémon too.

2. The pokémon is under the child's control, not the other way around. This is not supervision in the slightest.

3. The people on the route that are "supervising" the child do so by challenging him to cockfights and then stealing half of his money AGAINST HIS WILL.

>>52023539
I'll give them this, the expansion has mich better art and the guest artist packs provide a much needed break from the same style over and over. My theory is, since BattleCON had a bunch of artists in War of Indines before they released Remastered and it was criticized for its art, they're overly wary about hiring multiple artists for a project now.

>>52023615
1. Its implied they do, or if they dont they get mailed one. Try harder.

2. The pokemon however negates the deadliness of the issue because the child, who has grown up with pokemon and attended schooling so they know how pokemon work and are comfortable using them in fights, can fight with them to protect themselves. Try fucking harder.

3. Its implied that your character is more hot blooded then you because your character is more then happy to do things like do this adventure in the first place. Nautrally they challenge everyone their eye meets. Or did you really think you got forced into battle but a kid half your age. Try harder.

0/10 Stop ripping your ideas from smug middleschoolers. Just cause Timmy in sixth grade impressed the lunch table with his edgy pokemon headcanon doesn't mean you are going to impress us.

Back to the actual fuckin topic.

>>52023635
Millennium Blades is one project that actually makes sense to use multiple artists for. Probably would've been too costly though.
War of Indines was criticized for its art because it was deviantart tier.

>>52023690
You know that.
And I know that.
And other members of Level99Games know that.
But Brad is a weird guy and if he's been told directly this stuff, he still probably doesn't know that.

Also yeah cost is probably part of it, Fabio's art is relatively cheap compared to other professional-level comissions.

>>52023665
I would like MTG to be the game.

>>52023710
I feel like Brad has a really good knack for games, but his business judgement isn't quite at the same level.

>>52023800
This is 100% true. He's basically like the Good Twin of Sirlin on a "making games" level but yeah he's not so great at marketing or timing releases and whatnot.

Modern yugioh is pretty violent, don't get me wrong, but it's more widespread carnage compared to the specific and targeted torture of old school yugioh. The series has moved too far away from the horror comic genere imo
