Je quote Bulbabepia sur le coup...
On 2 November 2000, Israeli magician Uri Geller, known for his attribution of spoon-bending tricks to alleged psychic abilities, tried to sue Nintendo for £60 million, claiming that Kadabra, known as Yungerer in Japan, was an unauthorized parody of himself. Besides Kadabra's use of bent spoons to enhance its psychic powers, the katakana for its name (ユンゲラー) is visually similar to the transliteration of his own name into Japanese (ユリゲラー). Another claim was that Kadabra's design is antisemitic in nature due to the star on its forehead and the lightning bolts resembling the logo of the Waffen-SS. He is quoted as saying "Nintendo turned me into an evil, occult Pokémon character. Nintendo stole my identity by using my name and my signature image." The symbols themselves are taken from those used on Zener cards, which have been used to conduct research into supposed psychic abilities since the 1930's.
As a result, there has not been a Kadabra card in the Trading Card Game since Skyridge in 2003, and Kadabra has not appeared in the Pokémon anime since Fear Factor Phony, perhaps as a precaution against Geller's history of lawsuits. This is further hinted at by Masamitsu Hidaka's interview with PokéBeach in July 2008, where he claims that usage of Kadabra on a card is not allowed until an agreement was reached and that the case would not be settled anytime soon.
Abra and Alakazam cards have continued to be printed, despite the fact that this makes it impossible to play Alakazam cards in matches that prevent the use of older cards without a card that specifically allows evolved Pokémon to be played or the use of the card Rare Candy, which allows the player's Basic Pokémon in play to evolve into the Stage 2 form without the use of a Stage One Pokémon. However, the only Abra card released after Skyridge, in Mysterious Treasures, has an attack that allows it to evolve directly into Alakazam, skipping the Kadabra stage. Any Alakazam cards printed since were Basic Pokémon that didn't need to evolve from anything.
In November 2020, Uri Geller rescinded the "ban" on Kadabra's depiction in the TCG, citing fan outcry. About a year later, Kadabra made its first appearance in animation since Fear Factory Phony in the Pokémon Evolutions episode The Show.
Pour ceux qui ont un soucis avec l'anglais, Uri Geller a fait un procès à Nintendo pour utilisation abusive de son "image" (Pff, sérieux
![Rire :lol:](./images/smilies/39.gif)
), du coup plus de Kadabra dans l'anime, et plus de Kadabra dans le TCG depuis Skyridge en 2003. Tous les Alakazam sorti depuis sont apparement des Pokémon basiques après DP Trésors Mystérieux.
Depuis les accusations ont été levées par Geller en Novembre 2020 et Kadabra est revenu dans l'anime... Mais à ma connaissance, pas encore dans le TCG...
