I'm not favouring Battle Strikers(Though I actually like them a lot) over Top Plate but I need to know why it's like this.
Well, the reason Top Plate is being more praised/appreciated/noticed because for one thing, it's made by an official distributor of Beyblade- it'd be like Hasbro making their own Beyblade (tops) system, in a sense. It's a filler/series that's made by a licensed distributor of Beyblades, so it doesn't come off as much as a knockoff as something like Dracco Spin or Battle Strikers would, since they're completely different and unrelated companies.
Like Echizen also said, something resembling Beyblade in Asia with tournaments and prizes, etc., means that Beyblade may have still been fairly popular up until the plug was pulled.
Thanks, but here's the thing, why are people viewing Battle Strikers as Beyblades? I know I did the same with Top Plate but as you said it's a filler, so if Battle Strikers is unrelated to Beyblade then people shouldn't view them as Beyblade and as it's own "original" idea, after all it's main gimmick was control, it would be like if a show was compared to another for having a similar trait, it should just count as a single series as a whole as long as it's good with quality, and to me Battle Strikers can do that.
As for Swirl Fighters, they have little original ideas but are also unrelated to Beyblade, just similar, just because it's a top with beast motifs etc shouldn't automatically be justified as Beyblade Rip Offs.

No I don't plan on doing more yet.
I should probably go back to making fan custom Zero G beyblade concepts again
