Eastern card game shows: just playing the game. Average tournament story style, with the series being a gateway into actually learning the game. At worst, what they play is so similar that you still get a feel for the game.
Western card game shows: Cool, radical stereotypes that are trapped in an alternate world and befriend these highly marketable mystic creatures, while receiving some awesome magical powers in order to defeat the big bad, who is doing pretty much the same thing. It has absolutely nothing to do with how the game is actually played. Yes we like Digimon, how is that relevant?
