i literally never noticed this before.....

>how did the laziest company in the industry not notice that their greatest cash cow is lazy

Nintendo definitely noticed since that one magician who has abra kadabra trademarked or something got upset and both Abra and Kadabra stopped being made for the card game for over 10 years.

More like based as fuck.

i'm not sure if i ever focused on it at the time. there was some local language variation for it that mages used that was more well known among kids

Better than their original English names desu

Yuri Gellar. Kadabra's Japanese name referenced him and Gellar labeled it an antisemitic stereotype, threatening lawsuits. Kadabra was banned from merch and anime appearances for like two decades until Gellar finally apologized.

Kadabra looks way better than Alakazam.

I literally noticed this as soon as I saw it and thought "haha funny because telekinesis is basically magic." Would you rather their names be
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo?

Already taken by dragonball.

Where did its tail go? Alakazam's design looks incomplete without it.

>shiny is literally the Blue Morpho

The abra line is influenced a lot by eastern magic fox myths. I think alakazam is supposed to be less fox-like than the previous forms and more full blown monsters.

Makes sense, but it's a shame because I like big bushy tails :(

Antisemitism is anything I don't like

“This is Morpho. Arriving shortly at LZ!”

The japanese name of venomoth is morphon

>Weird mental powers monster bending spoons is antisemitism

>nintendo

It's funny because Hypno is a much bigger antisemitic trope.

In the original green/blue sprite art Alakazam has a jew star on his forehead.
