One star. Short, no tropes, no ands.

Penniless foreigners try to reach brave new world while everyone argues over whether or not they should get basic human rights.

 A youth of 10 is awarded a fight animal, uses said fight animal to capture other fight animals in little balls as to climb up a ladder of power to reach a gym boss which he must beat to fight another boss which awards him the title of Pokemon Master, a title which he is never satisfied with and throws away all his old companions for the next season.

A game where the player leads a team of dwarves and attempts to create a thriving city, which will inevitably be destroyed in a glorious and somewhat elephant-related action; this is generally considered great fun.

3/5

A movie that ruthlessly exploits the rule of cool, causing the main character to suddenly know kung fu because everybody's minds made it happen.

5/5 for extensive use of tropes

a dog gets taken from his home in California by a gambling gardener so he can be sold as a sled dog to look for gold in Canada.

2/5.

Patience and a thorough abuse of bugs ends with a Crowning Moment of Awesome as you watch a garden gnome sail into the ozone layer.

Youtube video of the year, all years.
Hmm...I've never been a big fan of CCGs - I mean, I did and still do collect Pokemon cards, but I never got heavily into the battling and trading thing.

By definition that makes you a fan since you still buy them.
