Reminds me of this npc

[cyberdragoninfinity]

saw your arc-v livepostings on twitter n' your z-one/aporia posts and now i really wanna get into the show and into ygo in general. do you have any recommendations on where to start so that it won't be too confusing for a poor sap such as i if you can? please and thank you (:

WAHHH IM HONORED THAT MY SILLY POSTING HAS INSPIRED YA TO CHECK OUT YUGIOH!! ;w;

yugioh really is something truly special and an absolute blast to really dig into, but it IS a very big franchise.... forgive me for being a bit inexperienced at giving recommendations, but I shall do my best!! here's some pointers that I think could be helpful if ya wanna get into the show(s) (not getting into the mangas too much on this, for the sake of brevity LOL) (the spinoff mangas are fun reads, though!)

ok so the thing with yugioh is there are Eight Different 'Main' Yugioh Series (and a few little stray other series but we ain talkin bout those right now)--my recommendations are focusing on the first five series, since those the ones i've seen (though ive heard glowing reviews for VRAINS and Sevens and you could certainly go check either of those out if you wanted to! You don't really need to know anything about the plots of the other series to follow those stories)

as a yugioh fan i am of course obligated to recommend Duel Monsters as a starter. It's the OG, just absolute Yugioh at its most tried and true Yugioh, it Is that good, the dub and sub are both classics--but IF i am being my most honest true self, if my arc-v postin and zoneporia chattering have got ya ygo hooked then I would recc maybe taking a gander at one of the spinoff series first instead ;3

(In general what's cool about yugioh is you can basically pick up any of the series as your 'first' ygo experience to start with and have a great time with it! I know tons of people who've all started with different series/only are invested in 1-2 series,Theyre all made to be their own self-contained plots, and there's really something for everyone among 'em! you could honestly just read wiki blurbs on each series and go with whatever one sounds most interesting to you, and that's a fine start right there.) (though sometimes youll see characters from one series show up in another one, the Entire Storyline isnt Hinged on that--i.e. a bunch of alternate version GX/5D's/Zexal characters show up in ARC-V, but you dont need to have seen all those series to watch arc-v or follow its plot.) also idgaf what anyone says, the dubs are just as wonderful a watch as the subs are when it comes to ygos--you have to deal with some scene censorship or dialogue changes, but to me it doesn't really impede the experience. (in fact I almost want to recommend the dubs MORE for someone just starting to get into yugioh--it can be easier to follow the duels sometimes. AND a lot of the dubs are free on Youtube!!)

ANYWAY Z-one and Aporia are from Yugioh 5D's!! The, Last twenty episodes or so. Of 5D's. 🥴 <--the suffering nicherfaverrrr. So if you want to meet them properly you Do unfortunately have to be in for the long haul (i am of course biased and will say: Worth It.) 5D's is all around fantastic though; it has its slow spots, but the duels get crazy fun on those damn motorcycles, so even if you do buckle in for the All of It you'll have a good time--there are some chunks in the second half of the show that never got dubbed though (sad!) which is just something to keep in mind.

RE: Arc-V! since youve seen me tweetin about it, I will say, the first 50 episodes or so of it, that first season, does make for a really great crash course intro to yugioh and its worlds/how dueling works, since it touches upon all the main types of summoning as part of its plot, and talks about how they work. You get to learn about them as the characters do, which is really cool! My main hesitance from suggesting it 100% as a starter series is that it gets. fucking Bonkers. like characters from the other series showing up aside there is just So Much Going On in Arc-V At Any Given Point. IT CAN BE A BIT OVERWHELMING. AND APPARENTLY ITS ENDING IS. NOT VERY GOOD. which might not be very fun for a first time ygo experience 😭BUT BY ALL MEANS GIVE IT A WHIRL IF YOU'RE INTERESTED. I'm having fun with it at least, hehehe.

OK HONESTLY. HONESTLY. I think if I have one good recommendation to take away from all of this: watch Zexal. Zexal is a fantastic starter yugioh, I can't recommend giving it a go enough. Yuma as a protagonist starts out dogshit at the game and gets better over the course of the series, and that really helps the viewer follow along with the card game and start to understand it at a nice pace without getting confused over all the finer points of it. It does a really nice job of explaining how things work imo! It's also just, a gorgeous show. It's one of the most beautiful cartoons ive ever seen art direction wise. It's so kind and so fun and goes hard as hell and the characters are so full of love and personality. AND THE WHOLE DUB IS FREE ON YOUTUBE. BTW. BONUS.

THIS ENDED UP SO LONG SORRY tl;dr you can pretty much start with whatever yugioh sounds most interesting to you personally as your first series and you won't be missing any critical lore! Also Zexal is one of the best, consistently good and really easy to pick up. I think if you could only ever watch one yugioh make it that one.

also this is a less a recommendation and more just "little things about watching yugioh to keep in mind" but: don't let the card game aspect intimidate ya too much! the show really does it's best to explain how cards work and keeps it engaging; it's a show geared towards kids so of course it tries to keep things pretty easy to follow along, game-wise (also do not listen to the 'The Duels Arent Important' Crowd they are Wrong. yugioh is a sports anime but the sport is a card game. that's the crux of its storytelling. and it's genuinely really cool!!!) And if you're interested in giving the game itself a whirl, Duel Links is pretty beginner friendly imo!

I HOPE THATS AT LEAST SOMEWHAT HELPFUL the trials and tribulations of recommending where to start with a franchise that boasts some 1000+ episodes across 8 series is mighty but that should give ya some sort of idea!! whatever you end up going with I hope you have a ton of fun! YUGIOHHHH

after replaying hgss for the umpteenth time, I noticed a funny thing whenever I watch the pre-rocket hideous break-in cutscene in mahogany town. so, lance orders his dragonite to use hyper beam on a grunt (totally reasonable response), right? but for whatever reason, dragonite just sorta slams the guy into a wall. now, i know that they obviously didn't want to program a dragonite absolutely eviscerating someone so they used the body slam as a substitute, but I think it would funny if:

a) lance hasn't taught hyper beam to his dragonite and had to improvise

b) lance has no idea how hyper beam works, and just thought that slamming into the guy would produce an equal outcome

or c) lance knew how hyper beam works and he noticed that you got in the gift shop as soon as he gave the command, so he ordered his big orange beast to Not kill the grunt so that you don't get traumatized for life.

either way, it's funny to think about.

That'd be so funny. I think it's already semi-canon at this point because of Masters EX and how the guy explicitly said he's afraid of Hyper Beam, so that guy was indeed blasted. By accident or not is unclear.

But just imagining Lance commanding Dragonite to use Hyper Beam and a huge (would you guess it), beam comes shooting out and obliterates the guy and his shop leaving Lance panicking because oh god, oh god that wasn't suppose to happen they're going to think I'm INSANE.

number 8 for the ask game?

oh, almost forgot this ask....

8. Favourite game of the year

(I'm assuming this means game I played this year) Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon, no question. Like, holy shit that game was an absolutely incredible experience. Just, aghaifhafiusafuepfsfncz. Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky is a game I treasure deeply, so when I played psmd, I did so assuming it would be a nice side dish. However, the more i played it the more it became clearer to me that this was a main course. I absolutely loved every single second of it! Sure, there were flaws here and there (*cough* hero's memories *cough*), but they were either minor things I could push aside or things I didn't mind at all! In my opinion, I would say it was as good as Explorers of Sky!

Freezing in the cold, just to not risk being burned again?

[sincerely-sofie]

Thinking about @gehtsis’s children and how terrifying it would be to get their team assigned to help you escape from a mystery dungeon.

If these are what my heroes look like I'm 99% certain I'd be screaming and running the other way. Menacing cryptid-looking grim reaper and cursed psychic clay doll. I love them.

[paperboatandink]

er hat sich das doch selber nicht geglaubt, oder? oh mann. 😭

mein kopf hat auch direkt ne fanfic-idee produziert: angry olli aber, sorry. imagine, die sind n paar und olli will nicht, dass das öffentlich wird. olli: "bisschen unauffälliger kannste aber schon sein, oder?" und jan sagt dann, dass er ihn doch extra nur kollege genannt hat und sogar gesagt hat, dass er hetero ist hahahaha. und olli so: "ja da musst du dir schon mehr mühe geben."

mmmmm, maybe mach ich auch ne bisschen positivere story draus lol sorry

aber jurassica ist auch wirklich ne queen 💅🏻

Woe! Plushies be upon ye!!

-charmander, umbreon, sylveon, jigglypuff, in that order

i love how fucked up so many of these guys are. their faces get so squished somehow when they're sewn together i love it

↑ i have more respect for it now. but the name is still bad. this is slightly more interesting but i still don't like the way it looks either. and i'm still bitter at it for giving me a shiny that instead of a shiny dreepy that i was hunting for

conflict fight fight fight (don't) (but i agree with gehtsis)

N Final (Black/White) VS Ghetsis (Black/White)

Propaganda:

No propaganda submitted.

Propaganda:

Didn't it still the fear in you the first time you listened to it

[ofpokemon]

N and his verbality

When N was first taken into the palace by Ghetsis he was non-verbal. It does make sense, he hadn't been exposed to much human speech. What I am sure is much to Gehtsis' chargin.

However after classes and being taught to speak, at some point N flipped a switch. He went from being non-verbal to almost hyper verbal. He speaks so fast as if the words will leave him if he doesn't, and so much on some subjects. He tends to keep going past social conventions at times, not knowing when to stop for others to comment.

[cryogonalsmelody]

oh hell yeah story time. tell me all about it

@zorros-arc

Alright

Sorry took so long but i had to think on how i would tell it.

Alright so, when I was 10 i received my pokemon, Zorry, who Ive already went over. I actually went through a gym travel, though it took me over 2 years of training to finish the final unovan gym. All of the gym leaders except for drayden have retired from my original gym challenge. Its quite interesting actually! Well, my final gym was drayden of course.

Well, team Gaia, funded by the cult of shaymin that once lived in pinwheel and the great chasm, was attempting to have their gods come, harrassing the people worshiping at the abundant shrine. Of course, i was high off of just beating drayden first time, i confronted the main person harrasing them, and it was... Well i believe her name was Admin Kathryn. She was maybe 20 at this point but she awoke the three male genies... im not sure how well covered it is but they recked havoc over unova for a while, and instead of the controlled storms they cause on certain routes, they caused much more damage... there was a reason a lot of cities are now very storm proof now.

But I actually met Gehtsis then. He was in his 30s, and apparently trying to 'stop' his sister. Now that i think on it after years, he was probably planning to use the chaos to take control himself but it failed. But

Im going to keep it shorter, and that eventually in order to stop the crew from going further, i had to meet Enamorous. It worked in the end, and we are still bonded to this day, but shes been resting for three decades now, but im sure she'll awake again before the end of my lifetime. Theres a reason you dont really hear about the shaymin cult or team gaia anymore. Now if only i had realized how bad of an influence ghetsis was, i probably wouldnt have ever entered team plasma. But then again, i was twelve and thought he was also there to end Admin Kathryn and Gaia leader Rosali.
