I really like it. The animation is really great and I love the character designs. It's nice to see them represent different games across the franchise. I do have a soft spot for the TCG segment since it combines the melodramatic flare of Yu-Gi-Oh!, at least with how the characters were posing, with Pokemon. Truly a match made in heaven. I also kind of just love the ending line "And I met you." It just hits the heartstrings a bit for me for some reason. It's a short commercial just to promote the World Championship, but it's still really cool.
