==The lawsuits== | |||
"''Geller attempted to make a case against Nintendo of America for using his likeness in a character and lost, Nintendo's defense being that they had not named any Pokémon after actual people.''" | |||
Are we sure that that's the reason? I would think that it would be more likely that he lost because he sued Nintendo of ''America'' -- a company who named him "Kadabra" which has nothing to do with Uri Geller. As a matter of fact, if Nintendo's defense was "no Pokémon were named after actual people" then couldn't he have easily proved them wrong, by citing Pokémon who obviously were, such as Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee? | |||
Also "''This may be due to Nintendo and Pokémon Card Laboratories' desire not to provoke Uri Geller's litigious nature.''" | |||
I'm pretty sure that you can't sue someone twice for the same thing, so I really don't see why that would be the reason. Unless they thought that he was going to sue Nintendo of Japan this time around (instead of Nintendo of America)... but if he was going to I think he'd have done it back in the days of Generation I when Kadabra was more important to the series.
