The magician Uri Geller has taken to social media to apologise for getting the pocket monster Kadabra banned from the official Pokémon Trading Card Game many years ago and has now given Nintendo permission to use it once again.

It’s now all up to #Nintendo to bring my #kadabra #pokemon card back.

Back in the year 2000, Geller attempted to sue Nintendo for £60 million ($100 million), claiming the Pokémon Kadabra was an unauthorised parody of himself.

"Nintendo turned me into an evil, occult Pokémon character.

Nintendo stole my identity by using my name and my signature image.

The Japanese name of Kadabra - Yungerer/Yungeller/Yun Geller - seemingly references Geller?

Speaking to TheGamer via email, Geller said he had now sent a letter to the chairman of Nintendo, giving the company permission to relaunch the "Uri Geller Kadabra/Yungeller" card worldwide.

"Due to the tremendous volume of emails I am still getting begging me to allow Nintendo to bring back Kadabra/Yungeller, I sent [...] a letter to the chairman of Nintendo giving them permission to relaunch the Uri Geller Kadabra/Yungeller worldwide."?

How would you feel about Kadabra's return to the Pokémon Trading Card Game after all this time.

When he’s not paying off a loan to Tom Nook, Liam likes to report on the latest Nintendo news and admire his library of video games.

His favourite Nintendo character used to be a guitar-playing dog, but nowadays he prefers to hang out with Judd the cat.

where are the SS symbols on Kadabra.

front bottom do look a bit like the SS logo but there are 3 so it’s not totally and obviously comparable.

Why was Kadabra banned from the cards and anime but not the games.

Don’t fall for it, Nintendo.

It’s a trick, he’s just playing...

Every Nintendo Youtube rushing out to put out the same mild take.

Uri Geller's problem isn't the spoons, but that Kadabra's japanese name obviously references his name, especially if you look at the Katakana:.

ユンゲラー - Yungerer (Kadabra).

He then interpreted parts of the character design to be referenced to him (he claimed the star on its forehead references the star of David, while the markings on his belly look like an SS-logo with an extra S to him), and didn't liked that he was being portrayed as something evil.

@Roibeard64 I think the fact that Uri Geller is Israeli is probably why it just evokes such vivid notions for him.

Now we just need Porygon to return to the anime.

How bizarre, if he thought it was a parody of himself with National Socialist symbolism then why would he claim it and prevent it's use in the card game.

I'd just pretend it wasn't there if I was in this situation.

Uri Gellar is just so desperate for attention.

I have never even heard of this until now, though I don't follow the Pokemon Trading Card game very well.

One just has to look at the death tolls and human rights violations committed by socialist and communist governments to see why socialism and communism are awful and should never be tried again.

(communism and socialism) I'm not wealthy, I'm below the U.S.

Communism and socialism will make everyone under it miserable and make surviving far harder.

and other capitalist countries can vouch for how awful socialism and communism are.

This whole thing is just really stupid but whatever man.

Seems like he just wanted attention.

He's just doing this now for some free publicity

I'll just post this here too:

He never banned it, Nintendo was voluntarily avoiding a tantrum

Kadabra is yellow and has a star on his forehead resembling the yellow Star of David Jews were forced to carry on their chest during the Holocaust

Socialism bad is such a moronic take because it just isn’t that simple

It just isn’t in our nature

So was Alakazam banned by extension

I mean from what little I know about the early days of TCG you can't exactly use Alakazam without Kadabra or did they just have Abra skip an evolution or something

I just said he claimed it

Alakazam Ex for example can be played like a base evolution Pokémon
