Is this really that unlikely of a crossover? When I saw Frieza for the first time as a kid, Mewtwo was the first thing to come to mind. Surely it can't be that uncommon of a connection...
DTM21, you bitter about Pokemon? You just shouldn't have caught that Missngno. ;)
And, actually, the cards became a sensation on their own, if I recall. It's the video games, as well as decent marketing of a product that does well with kids, that really made it skyrocket.

DB and Pokemon are one and the same. Whatever intentions Akira Toriyama originally had for DB are moot and have been ever since DB began to be trotted out after it should have ended for the sole purpose of selling more magazines, toys, video games and other merchandise to kids, the exact same thing Pokemon does.
SinfireTitan said: DBZ has had no less than 3 different TCGs. Pokemon has only 1, and it is still going strong.
So... you're agreeing with him, then? Because you just stated how DBZ didn't brainwash kids into buying stupid cards but Pokemon has done it magnificently. Though the cards and the anime are both just spin-offs from the videogame series, so this argument's kind of moot anyway.
That's usually how anime works; you don't make money off the show itself, but the sale of products/merchandise/novelties/etc that have resemblance to the series. Pokemon fairs better because it targets a larger audience (age 10 yrs) rather than DB (males age 13 yrs).
As for who would win, it all depends on Meotwo's nature and whether or not Frieza gets Dark STAB

Which one's the father and which is the son? The picture makes it look like Mewtwo is the father from positions and expressions, but Mewtwo is only a few years old, whereas Freeza is at least forty...
personally i think pokemon was all about the games. THOSE were awesome and easily could make you forget about the show. They could even be epic, look at red. other than that, this picture is easily a favorite. two moments of nostalgia at once.
Zaku_Zelo said: Yeah, Pokemon is such a childish and base show, unlike the sophisticated and mature Dragonball Z.
HAHAHA, is that supposed to be sacarsism? WAHAHAHA, I am choking to death here. Lol bringing characters back to life whenever you like and puching like idiots for over 20 chaps per arc/ per villain is sophisticated? HAHAHAHA. No sophisticated manga or anime will ever continues over 100 chaps.

The most "wasted" money is on sports and sitcoms in America if you ask me. I quoted ""wasted"" because what you think is """wasted""" depends on the person and their perferred really.
But we can all agree that the world is getting warmer, right?
