It’s a real shame that original flavor text quotes like this are so very rare. I mean, the card should kind of be making a statement about the pokemon on its own. Pulling the card only to be told something you already knew from the game just seems disheartening

Not sure what you’re trying to get at, this is something of a trope in anime (if not a trope in Japanese art/etc. in general), which Pokémon is obviously going to be very influenced by.
