Forum:WHY U ALL LOVE YUGIOH?? THIS "CHILDREN CARD GAME S***KS!"

What if someone you knew (or maybe not) say this gross word to you or any Yugioh Duelist? This happen to me when I'm dueling some random person at the shopping mall. We play at the sit available around the hall when some security guard came and scold us for interupting other people who want to sit at it (even bad-mouthing about Yugioh)! WTH.. since I've been pissed by him, I decided to meet the Manager itself and tell everything! Since the shopping mall are well-known with it "Costumer are our top priority" motto (I'm talking about JUSCO), so the Manager told the security to ask for forgiveness from me. Well that's what he got for saying bad word to Yugioh! '''Serve him right! Muahahaha!!!'''

So what about you? Got any "Good experiences?" to share? =3

Not really >_>
I've just been insulted by people for it... I've never got them back >_> Then again, I'm in High School. Most high school teens'll just make fun of anything. TBH, I hate being in High School >_> --DarkHeroRaven 14:51, December 21, 2009 (UTC)

Mixed bag for me
Some of my friends think its childish but they do understand and are able to appreciate when I am able to do something impressive like a trade where I make a 30$ card profit (trading a 5$ card for a 35$ card) Steelfallenangel 18:55, December 21, 2009 (UTC)

High school sophomore here.... I occasionally get insulted, and I've only ever gotten one person back. (Punch in the face in the locker room. I earned their respect, and they never bothered me again. DISCLAIMER: I don't recommend this method. Violence solves nothing.)

And yes, I tend to impress my friends when I show them a card I pulled, then search it on Ebay and show them what people will pay for it.--Akiza Izayoi 19:45, December 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * 1) Show them how much money you can make by selling a card.
 * 2) Try and explain a few game mechanics to them and let them see how "childish" the game really is. --Blue (Talk) 19:53, December 21, 2009 (UTC)

Explain Missing the Timing to them. It took me weeks to figure out how that worked.--Akiza Izayoi 19:56, December 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * Screw missing the timing - SEVEN substeps of damage calculation? Runer5h 20:45, December 21, 2009 (UTC)Runer5h

I never had that, I just keep my hobbies to myself and people who care about it. No point in talking about it with my friends when they aren't into it, and there are better things to talk about, like that new game they got and can't beat. I just keep saying, "It's either this or drugs, and this kills fewer brain cells." Then again, I got some a$$ hole drugs in my town (No cool stoners like Leo from That 70's Show), so that maynot apply in your towns.Land of dogs 22:41, December 21, 2009 (UTC) --Abe6827 00:17, December 22, 2009 (UTC) I havent been insulted by anyone but thats because i keep this to myself.I dont know why people think this is childish.if they knew they could make money by selling or trading cards they would not think that anymore.And also it is too complicated for a chiled to play this game.


 * This kinda happened to me once, as well. It was hilarious!!
 * First, someone asks me if I'm available to go for coffee on Saturday morning. I say,
 * "Well, not really. There's something I gotta do."
 * "What?"
 * "Well, I've got a Tournament (a Hobby League) to go to."
 * "Tournament? What kind? Chess?"
 * "No, Yu-Gi-Oh!."
 * "Huh? You still playing that children's card game?"
 * "Well, for one it's not children's and second, yes, I still do."
 * "Well, haven't you got anything better to do with your time?"
 * "Actually, this is the best I can do. Not only is it fun, it is profitable as well!"
 * "What do you mean, profitable?"
 * "Well, just the other day, I sold a card - ONE card - for 265$!"
 * "Effin' WHAT? 265$????"
 * "Yup. And I sell cards all the time, for a profit. Really easy cash. But I do enjoy playing as well - the game is really hard."
 * "What do you mean, hard? It's a children's game!"
 * "No it's not. Lemme give you an example. You do know chess, right? Is it easy?"
 * "Well, the rules are easy, but the game isn't."
 * "Well, in chess, you have 16 pawns, and there are 6 different types. In YGO, you have anywhere between 40 and 75 pawns, and there are thousands of different types. And the rules are so complicated, there are official rulings on how the cards work. To learn the rules adequately takes anywhere between a month and two years."
 * "Wow."
 * "Still think it's a children's card game? Just the sheer level of knowledge of English you need to have to understand what the card text is saying is immense (in case you haven't got it yet, my country is not an English-speaking one). Do you know what "negate" means?"
 * "Well, uh, no."
 * "My point exactly."


 * And don't even get me started on the eternal debate on "but the YGO show is for kids!", and the ages it takes me to explain that the ORIGINAL JAPANESE ANIME was NOT for kids, but that the most evil organization known to man (punspunspuns) effed it up. You know what I mean.
 * P.S. Missing the Timing and the 7 Substeps of the Damage Step are good arguments, but the crushing one is Dark Synchros. NEGATIVE NUMBERS FTW. Even if they are not really used in the TCG. But they wouldn't know that, now would they? --Darth Covah (Talk | DeckZone | Binder) 10:21, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

I got this a couple times, often coming from my parents or aunt, who call it "childish". The response? I offer a game with them, stating that "since it's childish you should be able to understand it too." They've refused the game and didn't bring this up again. I can imagine how hard they'll struggle with all the complex rulings and combos if they did agree to play though. --Gadjiltron 10:32, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

Nice one. As well as the complexities and profits, you might not have realized that another great argument for Yu-Gi-Oh! is that there is a whole wikia devoted to it, with over 30 000 articles and seemingly unlimited supporters! Clorth 21:48, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

Somebody insulted me...
It started when I was alone shopping in the mall (I'm 40 -_-") and I picked up a bunch of YGO card packs "You got kids?" Asked this lady. "No, these are for me." "Why do you like this ****ing children's card game?" "It's not for kids. So this dude comes along and the lady leaves. "Hell, yeah, it's for kids." "Have you seen the hot chicks?" I show him my uncensored copy of Harpie Lady and he walks away with a nosebleed.

So, yeah, I guess I was insulted.


 * Haha!! Wish I also got that "Harpie-not-good-for-kids" card! xD Lanspearsaber 17:04, December 22, 2009 (UTC)NoobYugiohPlayer

Woooweeee Any Good Idea??
Well so far all I got was positive response! You know what they say, different people - different thinking. Different people with different story. But it's best to just leave what they say as it is. I think we still got a disadvantage since this game are not realy popular and well-known in certain country (like myself..). So I guess it just up to KONAMI how to settle this thing (maybe they should make a Duel-Disk and held a Tournament like the Battle City?). Then all people will agree that this game are not just a game... Any suggestion? Lanspearsaber 16:58, December 22, 2009 (UTC)NoobYugiohPlayer


 * For first thing to your comment, I agreed, as due to woman sexual symbol, tight combine, and costly cards come in the mind. How can kid at 6 or 7 years old can full playing "Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode" deck and win with it on his/her own? --FredCat100 17:16, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

Somebody playing pokemon once made fun of me for playing yu gi oh... I was thinking "umm dude where both geeks here"

Admittedly, while the YGOTAS series is funny, it is actually kind of (subliminally, I doubt even LittleKuriboh realises this) deragotory towards the TCG. I just ignore the fools. User:Toob/Talk 17:22, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

GoldenSandslash15's Experience
I joined a card game club in middle school. I had only intended to duel/trade Yu-Gi-Oh! cards.

However, everyone played only Magic: The Gathering (which I have no idea how to play). I was upset, and kept my YGO cards in my pocket, embarrassed to take them out.

We met every day. And every day, I would only observe. Eventually, I just stopped bringing my cards.

Then, one day, I saw 2 kids in the corner playing YGO. I was ecstatic to see that. I hung out with them that day, and I told them that I would bring my cards the next day.

The following day, I brought all 4 of the decks that I had made at the time. They had already begun a duel, so I politely waited. Before they finished, the bell rang.

So, I came back the next day, and this time I got to play. I even took down an illegally-played Japanese Slifer the Sky Dragon.

So, the three of us continued to play YGO.

One day, one of the MTG kids saw us and wondered what we were doing. He came over and was instantly brought back to YGO. He said that he would bring his cards the following day.

And he did. Then, every day, we made it our goal to convert one of the MTG kids to a YGO kid. And we succeeded. We got one kid added to our sub-club every day.

We were happy. Some trades/sells did wonders for my deck too. Eventually, we had nine kids playing YGO.

Then, one day, I got a detention. I couldn't go to the club that day.

I went back the following day and I found only MTG kids in there. There weren't even the two original YGO kids. I had wondered what had happened.

Everyone was either not there, or was a MTG kid again.

It was weird.

I never did figure out exactly what happen, but I think that maybe that I was the one holding that sub-club together. I think that they only played YGO to let me enjoy the club (and I did), but then, with my absence, they went back to the way they were before. Hardcore MTG players. --GoldenSandslash15 00:34, December 27, 2009 (UTC)

I get insulted all the time!!!!
ok so this is the deal I live in PR and I play YGH on a corner of my high school with 4 friends,and other guys pass in the 2 halls that leads to the corner,and they yell a lot of things just 'cause we play YGH cards,and some guys even say,that game s***ks and it's just games 4 childs, they even throw things at us just 4 playin YGH and being rockers, I really hate those guys,but theres nothing we can do about it,we sometimes have a laugh 4 the things they tell us Jay Cane take care

Dispicable. Such people are obviously too idiotic to ever even know what they are saying regardless of the literally countless possible negative implications when weighed against whatever good could come of acting in such ways. They obviously don't understand the intricacies, complexities and amazements behind Yu-Gi-Oh!, similar to the ever popular Football (ENGLIGH football, soccer), and have no intention of actually revealing that they themselves become the targets of our trap cards as it were, and they may find themselves further and further into a world where the friendlies that are required to be relied upon for survival more and more wisely judge which of society can ever achieve at all, until they find that the high-school roles have been totally reversed. Such is the way of the world, but have faith in that further social development can come to eventualities where no minorities are ever assaulted. It's the old story of picking on the odd ones out. People seek scapegoats, (Hitler found a lot) minorites to take from and oppress to comfort own desires. Obviously the wise become more the wiser from experiencing targets as minorities, and with this experience can progress further into delving into the psychology of society until the problem(s) are eventually sorted out, for the better. As a general rule though, the more sophisticaed a person the more stable and controlled their lives are. Babies or children are almost always either crying of smiling, but with a little help the majority of slightly older life can be happier than sad. The "Bullies" are the children. All in all, we all know that Yu-Gi-Oh! absolutly rules, and I hope that we shall take arms with Konami until the world is conquered for the might of Yu-Gi-Oh!. Let's start by getting that hologram system up and running, then were getting somewhere! REMEBER: The hologram system must not be disclosed to any other party, for it would lose its power of uniqueness if other card games or communities used it to their own ends.

 * Godwin's Law... on high school kids? O_o --Blue (Talk) 21:48, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

Clorth: Indeed. So true.--Akiza Izayoi 22:45, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

Wow. O.O Well said Clorth. --Notra 11:12, January 13, 2010 (UTC)Notra

I agree with Clorth. People are so blind and stubborn to acknowledge the complexity of the game. Let us unite to rule with the might of Yu-Gi-Oh! I have had it with this ignorance of the game. How agrees with this that we must unite. People hear our words of fustration and let them shed light and stop this heresy against this greatest game that the creators of Konami made. I hope that this will let on more people to unite to defend this great game. --Abe6827 03:37, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Gadjiltron because as you said i am new and also that do you agree with me that everyone should respect Yu-Gi-Oh? for i agree with Clorth that we can bring back this game to its prime.Please respond back.
 * Hey Abe, you seem to be new here. A little note that starting a fresh line with a space in the very front will put your text into a code box, making it difficult to read. Thank you and have a nice day.
 * Now, as for you, Clorth, that was very eloquently put. GJ. --Gadjiltron 10:55, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, I do agree with you, but as frustrating as it is, I'm afraid it's inevitable that there will be a group of people who will remain completely ignorant of what kind of game it is, and stick to hasty generalizations. How hard was it to convince your parents (or someone else) that a game/show/book you like isn't exactly like the stereotypical view of it? The same difficulty will be faced when you try to do the same with Yu-Gi-Oh. --Gadjiltron 11:09, January 14, 2010 (UTC)
