有名なマジシャンが訴訟を取り下げた後、任天堂は23年後に珍しいポケモンカードを復活させます：「私はばかだった」

イリュージョニストのユリ・ゲラー（ポケモンは彼の肖像に基づいていると主張した）が人生について新しい視点を得たように見えた後、2000年以上ポケモンTCGに欠けていたポケモンがついに戻ってきました. ゲラーは60年、日本で「ユングラー」または「ユンゲラー」という名前のカダブラカードの画像を見た後、最初に任天堂を訴え、2003万ドルの損害賠償を要求した. この訴訟は XNUMX 年にアメリカで却下されましたが、ゲラーは他の地域で訴訟を続けました。

Nintendo remained tight-lipped about the matter, though fans noted that Kadabra began to be used more sparingly outside of the games and, in the case of the cards, eventually not at all. The Pokémon was removed from the trading card game in 2002 but will return in this year's Pokémon Card 151, which features the very first game's roster (including Kadabra). 

このニュースは壊れていた ウェブサイトによる ポケビーチ （新しいタブで開きます）、また、ゲラーから出版後のメッセージを受け取りました. 

"I am pleased Pokémon fans are excited to see Kadabra return to the card game," said Geller. "Look, I want to thank the Pokémon fans who reached out to me over the last [few] years. Including the ones from PokéBeach, who kept contacting me non-stop. So basically, it was you and my granddaughters that got me to change my mind.

"Now we can all see Kadabra reunited with the original Pokémon in the card game this summer. I love you all. And I admit, totally open and honest. I was a fool. It was a devastating mistake for me to sue Pokémon. [Kadabra] was basically a tribute to Uri Geller. But it’s back now. Forgive me. I love you all. Much love and energy."

ゲラーには訴訟を起こした歴史がありますが、ここでも少しポイントがあったかもしれません. カダブラは間違いなく、世界的に有名なイリュージョニストであり、過去数十年にわたって常にスクリーンに登場していたゲラーに触発されました。 アラカザム ポケモンの残りの部分は、他のマジシャンに基づいています。アブラはエドガー ケイシーです。 アラカザムはハリー・フーディーニです。

Geller apparently wrote to Nintendo in late 2020 to tell them he'd changed his mind about things, and in December 2020 the president of The Pokémon company, Tsunekazu Ishihara, wrote a letter of thanks (and to give credit where it is definitely due, this seems sparked by a PokéBeach campaign that began on its forums in 2018).

In August 2022, Geller had basically announced this was coming. "The reason I changed my mind—first of all, I did a stupid thing for suing them," said Geller. "I was just angry that my name appeared on a Pokémon card out of the blue without ever being asked. The most important thing is in these 20 years I became a grandfather. I saw my granddaughters and I thought 'Come on, you gotta release the Pokemon card back into circulation again.' Hence my letter. And what a nice letter [Ishihara] sent back. I’m really happy about it."

This is a very Friday story, in which a notoriously litigious corporation is finally no longer under the threat of litigation, and can do a nice thing, but arguably they also deserved it, so… I'm throwing my hands up. I guess at least Nintendo knows Houdini isn't gonna sue.
