For me this just shows where Chris is at cognitively. Even as a 35 year old man who has been heavily involved in this franchise for possibly 15 years he has no understanding of strategy or true compromise; his entire game plan is get the monster with the biggest numbers because that will win, right? Either that or he thinks that the anime is an accurate guide to winning.

In general, people assume Chris is good at video games (or card games or anything) because he plays them a lot. He's not. He plays shit on the lowest settings and when he does achieve some kind of success, it's because he aggressively played the level, over and over, until he memorized it. And even then, he just scrapes by.
Chris is talentless.
Look at Sonichu itself if you want to see what Chris gains via practice.

Chris can't play because he's not a gamer. He's a hoarder. An autistic hoarder.
Considering his financial situation, disregard of the law and employability, if all he really wanted to do is play he'd pirate games and softmod 2nd-hand consoles. He was never "into" anything. It was popular so he wanted to own it and receive whatever niche social appeal comes with owning it.
Just like me when I was into pokemon. Except I was 8. And it was my mum's money.

I'd never thought about this before, but Pokemon and its "Gotta catch 'em all!" aspect probably really appeals to Chris' hoarder tendencies.

It does, it's also spilled over into ever y other aspect of his life
Rejections, he's apparently caught them all

No surprise since the creator of Pokemon probably had autism

Actually, I believe it was mentioned Chris isn't even using his own deck, but merely a pre-built one?
The problem there is pretty much every pre-built deck is only going to be of average strength no matter the medium - effectively better than just randomly putting cards in a deck with no synergy whatsoever (I.E. a deck where every single card is a monster, no spells, traps, etc.) but a skilled custom deck will crush it because often those decks have multiple avenues to win and counter strategies for all situations (I.E. the mighty Blue Eyes White Dragon by itself can not stand against the Trap card Trap Hole, which just kills any summoned monster of 1000 atk or higher if not canceled by another trap/spell).
Of course, the simpler prebuilt decks are the perfect speed for Chris, as I don't think he is mentally capable of handling a multi-strategem deck. Unfortunately for him, this leaves him incapable of really posing a challenge to anybody with a lick of common sense toward fine-tuning their own deck and can adapt on the fly faster than he ever could.
IIRC Nintendo Power's 15th anniversary special for Pokemon mentioned the inspiration for Pokemon...was its creator's love of bug hunting.

At least he found a way to channel that to a game that could be enjoyed by children the world over. I see no problem there, the only problem is people like the creator who had autism and simply couldn't see to realize they may not be the audience for such a game.
I could see the connection there, I used to want to catch bugs and butterflies myself when I was 6 or 7.
The same creator also put this out for the NES BTW...

Pokemon's creator, Satoshi Tajiri, is autistic. Beetle fighting is or at least was a popular hobby among japanese kids, that's where he got the idea.
I believe Chris's interest in the franchise is more complex than just hoarding. For starters, the Pokemon games offer a shitloaf of useless data to simulate real life biology, such as pokemon sizes, weight and lore; autists love that shit. There's also the fact that the games are formulaic and repetitve, even by JRPG standards. Pokemon's inner workings (google "pokemon iv values") would probably be interesting to a more intelligent sperg than Chris. Pokemon also presents a colorful world inhabited by (somewhat) anthropomorphic creatures, popular with small children and spergs. The final nail in the coffn is that Chris became infatuated with pokemon on his childhood, and as such it holds nlstalgic value to him.

If everyone has a talent in the fantasy reality I have constructed around my self... and Chris is talentless... maybe that is his talent?

I haven't been this happy about anything related to Yugioh in years. The only thing that could make it better is if it's recorded.
Though, regarding Chris wanting to buy you a game if he lost... when you insisted he he make more pages, was he hesitant at all and tried to push a free game instead? Like, how much does he not to draw these pages?
As for the Pokemon creator, from what I understand, he used to collect bugs as a hobby when he was a kid and wanted to make a game that helped explain why he found it so interesting. The evolution part of the games came from him seeing a caterpillar turn into a butterfly.
Honestly, he's the exact opposite of Chris. He took his hobbies and found a way to share it with the world in a highly successful and original manner and become filthy rich from it.
Chris is a 34 year old living with mom who's only source of income comes from trolls giving him money to laugh at how talentless he is.

Yeah, using a prebuilt deck and modifying it for future use is a good starter for building decks of your own. Not to mention how talentless Chris would be playing IRL. In the game Chris is playing, the game will always ask you if you want to do a specific action: do you want to activate an effect, summon a monster from your extra deck, etc. This is good for speed dueling and pulling off stupid OTKs/FTKs, but Chris is just activating whatever looks shiniest to him at the moment. If he was playing for real, he would have to know what the effects are and how he can use them. Here it just shows Chris summoning a bunch of monsters because the menu says he can.
