Top Ten Pokémon Rip-Offs

We all know Pokémon, but here are some good or bad rip-offs of Pokémon on this list.
The Top Ten
1 Yu-Gi-Oh! Yu-Gi-Oh! was aired from 2000 to 2004 in Japan, and 2001 to 2006 in the US. It continues where the Toei Anime Left off. When 10th grader Yugi Muto solves the Millenium Puzzle, Yami Yugi emerges, taking control of him to help his friends. In Duel Monsters, they mostly played children's card games because war does not exist.

The classic series was the first series I watched, but I got bored after episode 1. One year later, I added it to my Netflix, and I later found Arc V as well. I was like "This looks cool." I watched it, and I LOVED it! I thought the characters were relatable, and funny. If you like Pokémon, I'd recommend this!

Isn't the original supposed to be better than the 4kids except everyone here unless they lived in Japan grew up with 4kids Anime.

A great show of good versus evil and fighting your opponent with monster cards in your hands.

Its like making a show of Pokemon card battles.

2 Digimon “Digimon” is a term commonly used to describe a variety of Japanese anime series based on the Bandai virtual pet brand “Digimon” (Dejimon). As of 2017, there are 7 series: “Digimon Adventure” (1999), “Digimon 02” (a.k.a. “Digimon Adventure 02”) (2000), “Digimon Tamers” (2001), “Digimon Frontier” (2002), “Digimon Data Squad” (a.k.a. “Digimon Savers”) (2006), “Digimon Fusion” (a.k.a. “Digimon Xros Wars”) (2010) and “Digimon Adventure Tri” (2015). ...read more.

We can't blame them. The creators probably didn't know or maybe were inspired by Pokemon or something else so, we can't blame them. But, Digimon is more of similar than a copy or rip-off of Pokemon.

I saw this after finishing Black And White ( When I was 5 or so ) and it sucked so bad. I regret watching it, may have rather gone on The Smiler and threw up on other riders and getting in trouble and then having to pay

There are times when your little when you watch this on Fox Kids, Jetix or Nicktoons. Instead of pocket monsters, you have digital monsters and their names always ends with "mon".

At least the characters are relatable, 3 dimensional, has development, and knows when to grow up.

3 Beyblade

How Beyblade is a ripoff of Pokemon?

4 Duel Masters

It's an okay show, but no the best. It's similar to Yu-Gi-Oh with monster cards, but Yu-Gi-Oh's still better than this.

5 Monster Rancher Monster Rancher, known in Japan as Monster Farm, is a 73-episode anime series based on Tecmo's Monster Rancher video game franchise.It originally aired on Japanese television on TBS from April 17, 1999 to September 30, 2001. An English-language version by Bohbot Entertainment and ADV Films aired in North America on Fox Kids and YTV.

Very underrated show.

6 Bakugan

Ah man, I first discovered this show on YouTube. I think it's pretty underrated, and you should give it a chance.

7 Medabots
8 Slugterra

Least favorite of the Pokémon rip-offs, the slugs should have a hard death with burning salt.

9 Dinosaur King

YES THIS BELONGS HERE. It's just watching poor dinosaurs be forced to fight each other. They also show carnivorous dinosaurs as Evil. Fun Fact, No carnivore is evil. It just wants to live. They also in my opinion, tried to make a fool of Jurassic Park

Bad rip-off from the dark times of 4kids. I'll just stick with Jurassic Park, thank you.

They could at least use more of their dinosaurs. Even the Alpha Gang has a better variety of dinos to use.

The main character even has the same voice as Ash!

10 Yo Kai Watch

I actually played this game myself and being a huge Poke-fan myself, the game- yes has similarities but -are very unalike in retrospect. Not gonna lie though, I did only play the first one so if the games have became much more similar since then sos...

Actually very good.Pokemon fans are just too stupid to try something new for once.

Yo Kai watch is actually pretty different from Pokémon. You don't throw shere prisons at them and they choose to befriend you

The Contenders
11 Monsuno

Never like this show from Nicktoons, let's not go there.

12 Kaijudo
13 MegaMan NT Warrior
14 Mega Man Battle Network

How in the hell is this rip off to pokemon? It's not even similar to pokemon anyways

15 Lilo & Stitch: The Series Lilo & Stitch: The Series is an American animated television series produced by Walt Disney Television.
16 Teletubbies Teletubbies is a British pre-school children's television series created by Ragdoll Productions' Anne Wood CBE and Andrew Davenport, who wrote each of the show's 365 episodes. It is owned by Canadian Studio WildBrain, which is the largest independent Children's and Adolescent's Film Studio
17 Robopon

They're not even trying.

18 Roblox Pokemon Brick Bronze

They could of thought of something original but no. Every month this game gets deleted and put back on. At least other pokemon roblox games either give up or change to something origional but not this

Why is this a thing

19 Mix Master
20 Dogmons
21 Hanazuki: Full Of Treasures

I hate this rip-off!

22 Huntik: Secrets & Seekers
23 Boohbah Boohbah is a British children's television programme created by Anne Wood. It premiered on 14 April 2003 on ITV in the United Kingdom, followed by its Nick Jr.

An odd creature.
