Look at your opponent’s hand. Then, you may discard as many other cards as you want from your hand and draw that many cards.

The sane man’s version of Blaine’s Gambit. Has applications in unlimited.

This sounds pretty decent actually.

I love this artwork to death.
My god, so adorable. I bet you that Raichu isn’t even looking at the enemy, it probably found a Butterfly or Something.

Are you kidding? Don’t forget Lt. Surge’s Pokémon saved him during the war.
That Raichu’s a cold-blooded widowmaker.

Why is there Russian text in the background?
WeeWeeBoi
Pretty sure it says Białystok, which is the tenth largest city in Poland.
MewThree
That just raises further questions.

Pretty sure it just means y’all need to research the “Cold War”, specifically the one between the United States of America, the USSR, and their respective allies. Or at least watch more ’80s action movies. ;)

“The map in the background shows German occupied Poland during World War II: Warsaw is located right above Raichu’s right ear, Bialystok and Brest-Litowsk behind Lt. Surge, and the Silesian Border between Andreashütte and Festenberg right below Raichu’s binoculars. The rivers Weichsel, Narew and Bug are also depicted.”

Pretty wild and unlike Pokemon to allow any references to real-world wars in their cards

It fits Surge’s background as established in the original games.
RB: “I tell you kid, electric Pokémon saved me during the war! ”
GSC: “I’ve never lost on the battlefield. I’ll zap you just like I did my enemies in war!”
FRLG: “I tell you, kid, electric Pokémon saved me during the war!”
But starting with HGSS they’ve stopped bringing that up:
“I’ve never lost on the battlefield. I’ll zap you just like I do all my enemies in battle!”
