Would you watch a Pokemon TCG anime?
yes
If it were similar to the Yu-Gi-Oh anime sure
Imakuni? would be the best character
>>29501281
tell me the setting
Is it going to be like yugioh where the cards summon the pokemon or is it going to be about a little japanese boy who lives a normal life except he is really good at the game and makes it to the championship with interesting characters to duel?
Is it going to have mind games like Death Note, or is it going to be over the top action like DBZ?
Is it a drama, comedy, romance?
Details!
>>29501412
Could be, but I don't want it to be too much like YuGiOh, you know, little nerdy kid gets picked on but truth is he is the best TCG player in the country. It could be like Saki but with guys and girl or it can be like Digimon Tamers but with out the monsters being real. You start out low level street player and end up working your way to the nationals. It would require minds games due to it being a card game and all, you need some bluff skills.
As for everything else, yes, it could have drama, comedy, and romance.

Here is one problem for you: the tcg is based on the pokemon world. Will the anime take place in that world? While everyone is fighting with real pokemon you are stuck with the card game? Will it take place in the real world and where the anime and the games exist?
That is the biggest problem I think. Yugioh is just an anime and the cards just drive the story.
The more I think about it the less it seems to work.
>>29501872
Well the premise could be anything really. If you want it to take place in the pokemon world we already have would be okay. You could have some kid who is uninterested or inept about training but is pro at TCG. Or it could be like YuGiOh and the monster comes to life when the card is played. Or it can be a world where the pokemon as we know it don't really exist and it is an anime. You could pick one of these three ways to do it or it could be a combination of them
What about this?
TCG anime has gyms, E4, and Champions
"I play Rare Candy, allowing me to evolve my Froakie directly into Greninja. Then I play Wally, allowing it to evolve again into Greninja BREAK! Now, Giant Water Shuriken!"
I would like to see one but the cards are used to power up the Pokemon like that Digimon season with the cards

NANI

Abra can actually do that, thanks to Uri Geller
If it's like Yu-Gi-Oh!, totally. If it's as good as the main anime, no. Focus on the cards, strategy. I'd love it.
>>29502899
nah, the TCG ruling on Rare Candy is idiotic so you can skip ahead from Basic -> Stage 2.
>>29501281
oh f'ck yeah I would!
>>29502964
And what did Abra do? It straight up went from basic to stage 2. Because they can't print kadabra anymore.
>>29501281
It would be the best. They would probably just imagine them with the pokemons on the field like Vanguard.
>>29501547
>too much like YuGiOh, you know, little nerdy kid gets picked on but truth is he is the best TCG player in the country
>I watched a few episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh here and there back then yet I think I know what I'm talking about
>>29503198
What?
You're not just exaggerating, right? Did they lose the rights to the IP or something?
>>29503389
One guy sued them for using his "liking" to do Kadabra.
>>29501281
Fuck yeah, why wouldn't I?
>>29503389
Kadabra in japanese is almost written as Uri Geller, because Kadabra was a reference to Uri Geller, he sued and won.
>Hey kid, you wanna TCG battle?
>>29503512
>>29503418
Wow. That's just... fucking wow.
There are a few manga series based on the TCG, and those might be good places to start for adaptation ideas.
The best one is probably Aim to Be a Card Master!! even though the art is kinda shitty.

To be honest, I'd rather have an anime based onPokemon reBURST
>>29503847
Uri Geller was a dick, and he still is. We are waiting for him to go away so we can get our Kadabra back
>>29503912
Wasn't reBurst the one where people became the Pokemon?
>>29501281
>mfw the protagonist is Ash
>>29502964
> the TCG ruling on Rare Candy is idiotic
...what's idiotic about that? That's the POINT of the card. Why would you go from Basic to Stage 1 instead of simply playing the Stage 1 from your hand? What are you thinking, man?
>>29504063
Yes
>>29503847
It should come as no surprise that he is Jewish.

This.
I love Yu-Gi-Oh, but I recognize it sometimes is just ridiculous.
Vanguard, on the other hand, is mundane(at least most of the time). Pokémon TCG would be great with that kind of setting.
>>29503418
I think you mean "likeness" my ESL friend.
James had some TCG cards back in season 1. So there is some for of the TCG being part of the pokemon world we know of. Knowing what kind of hobbies James is in to, would it be a stretch to say that he wants to be a TCG master?
>>29505263
For a while, James identified pokémon for the trio with his cards.
It was neat.
