    I could have sworn at one point there was some advertising material or something that insisted that the plural forms of Pokemon names were the same as singular. Yet “Kadabras” is used in the flavor text here.

    Looks like Dark Kadabra didn’t quite get the spoon bending trick…

    The loopy way around Uri Geller.

    The rumors were proven horribly wrong when some TV interviewers dared him to bend a spoon that he himself did not supply for the event.

      Or so they say. But how can we know that those TV interviewers did not mess with the spoons to make them harder to bend?

    RIP Kadabra. :( I always liked you more than Alakazam, since that tail looks awesome!

    It seems like this was the card that made Yuri Geller upset. He mentions the cards depicted him as ‘evil’, and someone probably explained this card to him as being named, well, “Evil Yungerer”.

    This was my interpretation as well, and the fact a specific Japanese Kadabra card (presumably where he got the “Evil” from) was something he noticed at all probably means either he or his legal team were keeping very close tabs on how Kadabra was being portrayed from the very beginning. Which makes sense, since he was notoriously litigious in general, and pokemon had gotten wrapped up in the insano crazy satanic panic news cycle of the 80s and early 90s.

    Glad he finally came around, though!

    Hope we get new Kababra cards someday soon. Kadabra’s also been absent from the anime since gen 3, presumably shoved in the same trunk as Porygon and Jynx.
