I'd argue most of these are "original". Like, yes, there's a product tie-in, but the actual story of the anime is usually original to the anime. Digimon, Rage of Bahamut, Gundam, Yu-Gi-Oh (after the first season), and even Pokemon isn't really adapting the "plot" of the games.
There's some exceptions out there where the anime is adapting an existing video-game story: e.g. Tales of Symphonia/Zestria, Phoenix Wright, Persona - but I do think there's few enough of them that they are probably "negligble". (Actually Phoenix Wright is probably classified under VN)
