I loved the 20 DS games! But then the second half of the 5Ds anime happened and I completely lost interest. I grew up on a Yu-Gi-Oh! forum (which is now sadly long gone, because the tech admin was a tyrannical piece of shit and the owner lost interest) and played the card game with my friends both online and offline.
If Pokemon was the dominating force during my childhood, then Yu-Gi-Oh! defined my early-to-mid teens.
