I agree with lucario but id say if allowed megas that 100% his mega as it represents the many dark magician forms, like great sage, magic of chaos etc.
If Pharaoh was put in world of Pokémon he would crush any and all competition cause he was able to adapt to a complex game of dice, simplistic Pokémon battles would be a cakewalk for Atem
Nice blend of my childhood passions. For me the series ended when Atem left the series which began a long drought of leaving behind those passions for college life. Im so glad community's like this exist to bring that passion back to life. When i saw Golurk i really expected a giant soldier of stone reference but you went deeper. Bravo.
I know we've not yet seen enough to know for sure, but I feel like Ogerpon cold end up as a petty decent reflection of Yugi/Yami themselves, with its Tera Crown as a stand in for the Millenium Puzzle. We will have to wait and see.
6:48 I love Wishiwashi, I mean the name is kinda lame but the ability is certainly unique. I remember when I played Pokémon Sun and Moon, I didn’t watch the anime(haven’t in a long time) but because I was lacking a water type in my party, I thought it’d evolve so I had it for battle a fire type and i was surprised when the schooling ability activated. I used Wishiwashi all the way through that game and it’s my favourite Pokémon of that generation of Pokémon. I think it fits Atem well because it’s not just Kuriboh he uses that look weak(though I do think it’s more a little Yugi Pokémon) but have big abilities.
It's no surprise that most of Atem's team is composed of Ghost-types, maybe sometime in the future he became a Ghost-type gym leader. For your next one, I choose Tom Riddle, aka Voldemort. For the anime/manga, it's Guts the Black Swordsman from Berserk.
This popped up as a recommendation for me, and growing up on both franchises, I LOVE this concept with Yugi, and I especially can't wait to see your theory crafts on other characters! Subbed and can't wait to see more!
Instead of Lucario, should have chosen Gallade, as gallade is a symbol of justice and loyalty like Lucario and Gardevoir but is not based off of Anubis (in which fun fact, Anubis is actually a Villan that appeared in the first ever Yu-Gi-Oh movie even has his own knock-off millennium Puzzle being the pyramid of light ) that's why Lucario isn't really a good fit as much as Gallade, plus Mega Gallage literally embraces the Duelist within him with those arm blades looking like duel disks!!
Amazing video bud, great reasonings for the team and loved the summary of yu gi oh was a lush, nostalgic throwback!!! A card i will always remember aswell is pot of greed with that messed up face 😂
Will you make a video about which Card Deck will Ash Ketchum have? P. S. I assume Yami Yugi's Lucario will use Terralize Power to make him a Ghost Type Pokemon.
I think the next character from anime, Manga, and games that should get a Pokémon team are the Sons, and grandson, of Sparda from the Devil May Cry series: the twin sons Dante and Vergil, and the grandson Nero
I don’t disagree with any of your picks but I think there’s a balance issue. Yugi has a good balance of cards so while I don’t disagree with Pokémon Atem would certainly catch and train. I can see him having a reserve team who’s members he’d swap with. One of the reserves I can see him picking and I’ll use it to answer the Legendary question is Darkrai, my reason is simple but I think it fits, how Atem was in Season 0, very much a dark and twisted character but a believer in punishing wrong doers, Darkrai especially from the Darkrai movie fits this to a tea and yes Darkrai causes nightmares but that’s an ability not a choice. Representing his magnet warriors I’d say up next is Magnezone or Magnaton if you prefer to have a Gen one Pokémon, I think given you had a slight go at 5ds(which I’ll defend to the death, you maybe a better card player than me but 5ds, Gx and the og I feel are Yu-Gi-Oh! At its best, you can’t say card games on motorbikes without me laughing a bit, it’s on form for what Yu-Gi-Oh! Is, silly and that’s why I love it! Even if I play more mtg these days, meh still a dinosaur player, I’ve just moved on from Sauropod Braccinon to Gisath) but didn’t include a single G1 is kinda taking the Micky, no disrespect and I’m not meaning this as an angry tone sorry always worried I maybe coming across as a bit angry so just clarifying so ya dunna think I’m trying to be a prat. Up next because Atem has dragons and in reference to my favourite strong Yugi card, Curse of Dragon(my absolute favourite yugioh card remains Silver Fang being the first monster I ever saw) but also keeping in with Atem favouring weaker cards that have strong abilities, Dragonair(giving his Pokémon a personality here but this would be a case similar to Ash’s Bulbasaur where Dragonair doesn’t want to evolve to its final form and I think Atem like Ash would respect that). I think representing Exodia has to be done as well but with there’s not really a like for like so I’ll go for Milotic given it’s tricky to evolve. Bringing in Atem’s other frequently used cards here but he needs a starter too, I think Typlosion represents Gazelle and Chimera well since Atem used them fairly frequently. Finally I’d say atem needs a Pokémon that represents his duel spirited nature with Yugi and this has been doing my nut but I think I have 2 Pokémon that represents this duel nature Ninjask and Shedninja…I’d say Ninjask is probably the one Atem would use in party but the way a Shedninja is formed is why I’m suggesting it. Going back to the start of the video, I have to admit of the characters I know from there, I like them but of all of them…..I’d say….uhh the kid in green what’s his name? I want to say Zelda but that’s not right is it, that’s the game he’s from…..uhhh ohhh is it cloud? No that ff isn’t it? It’s going to drive me nuts but I know his character is an interesting one so him….kid in green with the shield and sword. Loved the video and I hope you do a ton more.
I used to do this same thing in my spare time but with Naruto characters especially after seeing a fanart of all of the characters as Pokemon themselves. :D

@@BakerBulbasaur Then it should still be a Delphox than a Lucario to present Dark Magician considering Delphox is literally a starter Pokemon, a trainers first and most important bond with a Pokemon or in other words the "ever-faithful companion" what Dark Magician is to Atem, while also having a lot more fitting typing, moves and stats in comparison as Dark Magician needs tricks to gain an advantage over stronger opponents, something Lucario completely lacks as Lucario all about hoping it's faster (it usually isn't) and strong enough to take out the opponent with pure power, something Blue-eyes and Kaiba are more about as Atem is more about brain over brawn in his playstyle...

Now that I think about it, Sir Aaron's Lucario may have to be represented to Mahad (the Dark Magician).

Don't forget Golurk could be a reference to Exodia if you squint hard enough.

Feel like Girifirig could be a choice for Yami. Two heads to represent Yami and Yugi
could Farigiraf represent Yami in control?

Yooo thanks so much! Seems like we grew up with similar tastes 😂 appreciate the support!!!
Nice options for Yami Yugi/Atem. Yugioh was my favorite TCG anime as well
This video randomly popped up in my feed and I absolutely love the idea. I feel doing other popular anime characters would be entertaining too

Not a bad idea!
Next video: What deck would Ash use?
I understand why you went no legends. Makes it more interesting. Would have definitely gone Rayquaza for Yami

You are going to need to do one for all the yugioh protags and rival characters
It’s likely to be a series that I do more than one character from, yes 😂

Hey baker
Erm, the only ones that actually did stuff in the original series out of the main cast were yugi kaiba and joey (not counting filler arcs)
Bit weird you didn't include a Shiny Delphox tho considering it's literally a wizard in a purple robe just like Dark Magician, making it resemble Dark Magician lot more than Lucario...
Because I was going off deeper connections than just visual resemblance 👊

@@V-Jes I agree he used a lot of brain but he also has brawn in his play style.
Delphox is a perfectly fine pick! I decided to go with Lucario 👊
Yami would have hoopa its magic and a magician
I considered this but I just didn't think the personality matches Yugi enough, but a totally fair pick!
I agree, Hoopa would be like Dark Magician to Pharaoh!
I know the yugioh english dub changed a lot of things but why the heck did they change the period of history in which yugi lived
Not a clue tbh, I always wondered if it was something to do with the manga? Which I’ve never read, unfortunately.
