Dinosaur King - Worst Pokemon Rip-off ever

*Wildcat* · 09-11-2007, 07:40 PM

I figured this was the best place too bring up this topic,since the cartoon airs right after TMNT:FF.

For some reason IMDB dosn't have a page for it...but heres this if ya wanna see more: http://www.dinosaurking.com/

First...I cant say enough how sick I am of all these Card/Monster battle type shows...the only one I have true respect for is Pokemon...because it was the original and everyone else just rips it off.

I mean my gosh....theres Yu-gi-oh,Digimon,Chaotic and now Dinosaur King....and Im probly missing one.

Perhaps some of you saw it,like I said it comes out right after TMNT....it premired this weekend.

When I saw "Dinosaur King" on my on-screen TV guide...I thought...hmmm...sounds kinda good and Iv always liked Dinosaurs so I'll watch it.

Seriously....I went into it thinking it was some type of cartoon with talking Dinosaur characters or people who were trapped in some dinosaur world....boy was I wrong.

I dont need to explain the bases for the show,since we all know how Pokemon and such works....but look at the big ways it rips-off Pokemon....I mean besides Dinos theres not much diffrent.

1.The main character sounds very much like Ash...Im sure its the same voice actor..but again IMDB didnt have a page so I couldnt check.

2.He has 2 friends(a guy and girl) and one small Dinosaur freind that follows them....sound familar?...lets see Ash has Brock and Misty(though thats changed kinda) and Pikachu follows them around.

3.Theres 3 main villians...a guy,a woman and a shorter goofy guy...again,sound familar?....Team Rocket and Meowth

Besides that...the dinosaurs are supposed to be some kinda 3D-ish CGI..but they just look like crappy card-board in stop-motion animation.

As you can see in the link,its from SEGA...up til now,I never knew Sega made a card-battle game....and why did 4kids greenlight the show when Chaotic is the same idea?
