Could this genesis also be implying the start of another Yu-Gi-Oh! series coming after GX?

Shadow_Ice (guest) - 2008/05/11 06:49

I now it is late but deal with it

Even i someone who lives in america could tell everyone that yugioh would continue. It is like Digimon and Pokemon. It will go on and on. Evern the cards will hey in fact naruto will more than likely go on and on. And if you could not figure that out than think more, sorry but i figured that out about the end of the Battle city and that was a long time ago. Shore i might not now what they will come out with but it was really easy to see.

TDG

It is a possibillty ^^
GX Season 4 is prob the last ^^

Ryan (guest) - 2008/04/16 11:44

Cool!

Looks good and yes there is a new series. Yugioh 5Ds is up after the 4eth season of GX. I've seen the first 2 episodes via www.yugiohfans.co.uk and is is AWESOME! Stardust Dragonis the main character, Yusei's ace card.
Zero-kun (guest) - 2007/12/29 00:58

......

Season 5 has been confirmed!?
....Are you serious?
Season 4 should end by about September, like the rest. But then if that's the case, what the hell is this new series gonna be like? And how comes it's starting so early? Nevertheless, I hope that by new monster category, they mean like, Ritual/Fusion/Effect/Vanilla. That, would rock so hard. :D Lol I've kinda been thinking, they could make the card background WHITE :O OMFGBBQZ0RZ or grey even. :3
I'm gonna miss GX :( It's been, IMO, kinda better than the original Yu-Gi-Oh DM. x3

HalfDemonInuyasha (guest) - 2007/12/29 03:15

reply

I doubt it's simply a new type of monster. Otherwise, it would say "new monster type" or "new breed of monsters" or something like that. This is stating a "new rule element" all together. Even the Chain-based cards said stuff like "new card strategy".
Xrinix (guest) - 2007/12/29 03:27

new monster category...

it is fine to me, unless it nedds a weird way to sumon them (such as ritual and fusions) and i think that it will contain at least one hero card...

ScionoftheFlames (guest) - 2007/12/30 03:37

A bit iffy . . .

I'm likig the LODN set a lot even as little as we see of it 2 months before it's release. But I don't know about this set. I don't like the fact that not a single character from the anime (or comic) is mentioned. I hae never heard of Stardust Dragon. If this is dragon set . . . but then the features list doesn't even say what this set centers around besides "new element and category from the 2008 Started Deck".

At least they kept the tradition of naming the first set in a series with the word Duelist.

Lobster (guest) - 2007/12/31 09:37

Light of Destruction -> Starter 2008 -> Duelist Geneis

Early 2008 is going to be a busy time.

Not is any image?

ScionoftheFlames (guest) - 2008/01/02 23:52

Release Date!

OMG! I just realized this set will come out one month earlier than it normally would. It's usually 3 months between set releases but this will be just 2 months after LOTDN.

Forrenz - 2008/01/24 19:14

OH MAN!!

I totally spaced on this, as I'm sure everyone has!
Remember in the original Yu-Gi-Oh!, before the Battle City Finals, the went into that...place...I could never keep track of anything in that whole series of events...
Anyways, what if the new category is "Duel Master" or something (probably called "Duel Spirits", but you know, right?)! That would definitely be a new ruling, way to play AND new Monster Category!
:)

joe (guest) - 2008/01/30 22:03

it was duel masters

the correct name in the english show was duel master
Rimi (guest) - 2008/02/02 17:29

Hm

When you will all get that it is an April Joke?

wolfchadren - 2008/02/17 22:39

Why that?

Why do you think it's an april fools joke? Just wondering if you have some prove of that it must be truly false.
Latoma (guest) - 2008/03/08 01:36

WRONG

You got that wrong as hell Wolf. It's confirmed now. And why would they april fools for March and even have official commercials. Fail more sir.
wolfchadren - 2008/03/08 21:28

-sigh-

I was saying if that other guy had prove it was an april fools joke. Can't you people read anymore? Anyway i'm wondering what that "release" means on several card effects. Could it be sending a monster to the graveyard to activate the effects written on those cards? Am already hyped about the fact how "Synchro" monsters work. Also wondering what kind of rule changes there will be.

Zombie Master (guest) - 2008/03/09 04:11

release

Release is the new way of saying tribute. They got all the rule changes annoucnced in Starter Deck 2008.
KaiserDanieru (guest) - 2008/03/16 18:13

Making Things Clear

Release = to Tribute a monster, be it to Summon a high Level monster, or to comply with the effect of a card. This is a change in terminology in the same regard that Magic Card became Spell Card.

Advance Summon = Tribute Summon

If Fujiwara's Clear cards aren't in this set then I am officially crying. I mean, I know it's now the era of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, but surely Konami can't just ignore the last two major Duels of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. Surely we can just have ONE more set with GX cards in it, as we could do with Neos Wiseman, God Neos, and Fujiwara's Clear Deck.

One-Shot Booster is going to be used as Tribute/Synchro fodder. Nothing more. Its second effect is a tedious Hyper Hammerhead that kills.

Nitro Synchron is awful, and although Nitro Warrior is rather nice, he's hampered by how bad Nitro Synchron is (I mean, a LV7 Synchro that requires a LV2 Tuner = FAIL, especially when all Nitro Synchron does is let you draw a card).

Stardust Dragon is epicwin. End of story.

KaiserDanieru (guest) - 2008/03/16 18:15

Oh, BTW...

... Darkness' Deck is epicfail. kthxbai

DarkReign - 2008/03/17 21:31

synchro sucks

these are just ritual contact fusions, except the star totals HAVE to match. And of course the "Extra Deck" is limited to 15 cards. that is going to suck. I liked Fusions.

SynjoDeonecros (guest) - 2008/03/18 02:02

Konami, what the bloody hell are you doing to us?

An entire monster type effectively dedicated to forming an entire self-contained deck theme around itself. Way to go Konami; you just wined the most idiotic CCG executive decision of the millennium award.

The fact that Konami's been making then abandoning new deck themes (like the Aliens, Gladial Beasts, or Crystal Beasts) for the past 5 sets or so is irritating enough, but this just takes the cake; you CANNOT justify making yet ANOTHER disposable self-contained deck theme by making an entirely new monster TYPE for it. Between this and the hodgepodge nonsense of the Tuners, the game is so dead.

CrazyRay - 2008/03/18 03:37

Sorry i have to correct you. Themes like Crystal Beast, and Gladiator Beast have enough support to work in the current meta now all you have to do is add the decent staples. Themes like Aliens are what need better support.

Yes they need to stop with introducing new theme, sub-type, and type when there is stuff in the game that really need improve like certain fish, sea-serpent, insect, dinosaurs, reptiles, shoot even dragon because they have no underlining theme that define them. We dont need to introduces more problems in the game plz koonami stop with the bulls***. -.-
SynjoDeonecros (guest) - 2008/03/18 07:07

I just had a huge argument with someone over whether or not the Psychics would've been better if they were Spellcaster-type instead of their own type. He said no, because he didn't want more overpowered-to-the-point-of-restriction/ban Spellcasters, and that Psychic powers have nothing to do with magic.

While I can agree with him on not wanting more overpowered Spellcasters, his reasoning is flawed; first, right now, the Psychics are a self-contained deck with no way to customize it into a hybrid (someone insists they work well as an alternate Fire Princess Burn, but considering that only Magical Android does any life gain, and all the rest need a LIFE POINT PAYMENT to get their effects off (and quite hefty ones too), I don't see how that could work out), so while they CAN get somewhat ridiculous with the good Spellcaster support out there, the fact that their effects are so self-contained and reliant on other Psychics to pull off, that would prevent them from becoming too powerful.

Second, he seems to think that, now that psychic phenomena is being looked at from a pseudo-scientific standpoint, that means it can't be magical. WRONG! Mentalism wouldn't be a type of stage magic if he was correct, and we wouldn't have people trying to see into the future by looking into crystal balls or flipping through Tarot cards or speaking with oracles. Also, go through the Fantasy section of your local book store, and try to find a book that deals heavily in magic that DOESN'T involve mind-controlling someone, or reading their thoughts, or moving objects without touching them. This is stuff you read about in Harry Potter, for Ra's sake, so saying that just because it's being treated as a pseudoscience NOW instead of being magical or divine (or satanic) in origin does NOT mean that psychic powers cannot be attributed to Spellcasters.
DM (guest) - 2008/03/18 19:49

There's nothing you can do about it

All of you are going to have to live with it so grow up.
Not all cards in this set are horrible such as Whopper Dragon.

wolfchadren (guest) - 2008/03/18 22:28

Maybe...

I''m a bit sceptic about these Psychic Type Monsters. The screens/pictures of them have a white or yellow background. It is still around 1 april. So you should be carefull with REALLY strange things. Some people where also sceptic about the Synchro Monsters while that release date was before 1 april. This is AFTER 1 april so wouldn''t trust it for a 100%.
Wolfchadren (guest) - 2008/04/07 16:36

Just saying

That person acted like a total n00b when i say types aren't tuner, union, spirit etc. That person comes up with gemini. So that's why i called that person a n00b. A type is something like Psychic (still think it's weird), Winged-Beast etc. When given an explanation and still saying something wrong makes someone a n00b.

Also the reason that i didn't rant about Synchro's and Tuners is cause they were already released before 1 april while the Psychic Types will be released afterthis date. That's what makes the difference.
Someone (guest) - 2008/03/31 22:32

...

You should know by now that it is real, they have already made official commercials, and they even created and arcade game that has to do with it all.

wolfchadren (guest) - 2008/04/01 11:26

sighs

Was talking about the Psychic Monster NOT the Synchro Monsters. Those psychic type monster are just to weird to be real. And why would they make a new type anyway? But we will see after today if it's real or not.
Someone (guest) - 2008/04/01 21:51

I know

I wasnt talking about the synchro monsters! And I dont get why you think they will be weird. You say they shouldn't make a new type yet they already have made a couple new ones before!
Wolfchadren (guest) - 2008/04/02 00:11

Name one

Name one new type they made up before. Not something like spirit, union or tuner cause that aren't types. The reason i say it's weird is cause alot of those monsters can be placed into different already existing types. Also a weird thing is that this 1 new type of monster only focuses on 1 strategy.
D-Reppin (guest) - 2008/04/02 04:23

Ridiculous...

W/e Konami does, they better make sure Tribe-Infecting stays on ban, cuz it's bye-bye Psychics. Just ridiculous to tell you the truth...
Forrenz - 2008/04/03 22:17

All I am say-ing...

...is give Psychics a chance!
(Yeah, I'm a lame girl, blah)
This is the first set they are introduced in, so yes they only have 1 main use, and that's when they work off each other, but there's likely at least another 2 Seasons of 5Ds so we may see more yet. They're starting of like every new Archetype does when released - mainly just with their own little niche. Maybe it turns out Darkness' evil plants are Psychics...
Someone (guest) - 2008/04/03 23:12

Ok

Ok teh card tipe is Gemini.
Wolfchadren (guest) - 2008/04/03 23:24

You've just proven... your a n00b

Your saying that Konami already released a new type which is gemini. Well i allways see gemini AFTER a / not before a /. This is the first time they make a new Type so just accept it and don't act like you know it. You can't always have it right.
Anyway still think the Psychics are a joke. Not as in that they won't be released but as in they are still to weird.
danierulynx - 2008/04/07 03:40

Take into account...

... the fact that Konami wish for a new start with The Duelist Genesis. First we get a new anime series (5D's), then we get a new type of Monster Card (Synchro Monsters), then a new monster sub-type (Tuner Monsters), and finally a new monster Type (Psychic-Type). If you find Psychic-Types to be so weird, then why aren't you ranting and raving about Tuners, Synchros, and 5D's too? Are Konami not allowed to change their game about a bit? Remember - despite established convention, they're free to do whatever the Hell they want to.

Also, calm down Wolfchadren. There's no need to become so heated over this, especially against other people. Remember, it's not just Shriek and Manjyome Thunder who can take action against those who're rude - I can too. There's no need for it.
Forrenz - 2008/04/15 11:23

Awesomest set ever.

There are so many awesomely awesome cards in this set! Cards to keep the Batterymen up in their playability, and so much more, including traps to actually take out 'Dark Armed Dragon' and the Monarchs (or rather, take control of the Monarchs).
The worst part of this is when it comes to the TCG, all but 'Magical Android' will unfortunately be Secret Rares and nobody will play them because they'll be too hard to pull and too expensive to buy online individually...

GUN - 2008/04/15 21:15

Better deck then i expected

I still need to get used to the whole release and other names, but i like the tutor and syncros. They said that in the new pack they wil make syncros for exicting decks, and i hope some nice syncro's for my cyber, and six samurai and more. Psycic could be pretty strong expecially the trap that negates a magic trap and summon, but there not my kinda cards. And the rock cyber dragon is pretty funny, and i will get one and finally make a nice rock deck for my megarock dragon. And gladiator support and i just want stardust dragon because hes awesome.

Oldschool (guest) - 2008/08/21 18:34

New support cards for the Gladiator Beasts would easily solidify their dominance of the tournament scene for some time and would be really annoying. Those decks are hard to counter....

Plant decks i think using a combo of gigaplant and Black rose Dragon i can see making its prescene felt in the near future when Crossroads is released.

Personally i'm biased but i would have loved to see a deck type with support cards for summoning Exodia faster. Ain't gonna happen but it would have been kool.
