Ok, you already know where these threads are going.
Here’s another one.
Long story short Thinkchip made some pokemon merchandise back in the days, some of which having some sort of interactivity between the battle stadium and Ash’s talking pokedex (the 2 main products I guess). But this is just teasing for the main part.
The cards. Every pokemon figure sold had one card representative of him.
So, bulbapedia lists 24 figures (and more importantly cards), the image below has 15 but something’s different: squirtle and geodude aren’t listed on bulbapedia.
So my question is obvious, and you already know it.
“how many cards?”
This is related to the first 1999-2001 releases, after the company’s name change, modern figures don’t have cards with them anymore.
Clear exemple:
…And… yeah… that pikachu above is cursed.
