A Japanese illusionist named Uri Geller, known for his spoon-bending trick, sued Nintendo over Kadabra's design claiming it was using his likeness without permission in the late 90s/early 2000s. Part of the settlement was that they weren’t allowed to make Kadabra cards anymore, though he was allowed to remain in the games. Geller revoked the ban and apologized for the whole thing a couple of years ago, meaning Kadabra was allowed to be a card again for the first time in 20 years. Here is a link to an article on the whole situation. www.polygon.com/2020/11/30/21726492/pokemon-nintendo-lawsuit-uri-geller-kadabra-apology All Alakazam cards since 2003 up till now have been basic Pokemon, which is really weird.
