“Casey is an interesting Pokemon. I see it when I’m in the Isle of Armor, it just kind of floats around and teleports when you try to approach it.”

ROXY: this reality here, so ok the reality is still KIND of relevant because we are literally inside of it atm

ROXY: but im new here!

ROXY: i came over to keep being roxy since the old one died or whatever thru hecka debacles

JANE: That... is quite an explanation!

JANE: Jeez, I missed you.

ROXY: cmere u extravagant bitch!!!

JANE: Hahah!

JANE: (Wait... what?)

JOHN: the hug pile doesn't stop from getting taller.

ROSE: ?

JOHN: the hug pile! there are more hugs, rose.

ROSE: I can see the hugs. I don't understand the pile thing.

JOHN: oh. don't you remember?

JOHN: a funny quote from one of dave's old comics!

ROSE: Ah. Yes, vaguely.

ROSE: It's been a long journey, John.

ROSE: I believe one of the most valuable lessons that comes with growing up is gaining the wisdom that gently informs you when it's time to retire a meme.

JOHN: heh...

JOHN: i guess i never earned that handy badge, or whatever.

JOHN: i like this, though. every time someone wakes up, or pops out of nowhere, it's fun times all over again.

JOHN: i feel like i should be playing reunion bingo.

JOHN: who will be next??

JOHN: my money is on the long awaited and insanely poignant reunion between me and casey the salamander.

ROSE: Surely you mean the dear Viceroy Bubbles Von Salamancer, right?

ROSE: And instead of you, you mean me.

ROSE: That's when the real tears will flow.

JOHN: what do you think she's up to?

ROSE: He.

JOHN: no, she is my beautiful daughter. :p

ROSESPRITE: Something tells me the good Viceroy has been busy.

ROSE: Oh?

ROSESPRITE: I sense he's been... scheming.

ROSESPRITE: Plotting.

ROSESPRITE: Biding his time.

ROSESPRITE: Accruing dark legions.

ROSE: That sure is a thing that would be dumb, if true.

ROSESPRITE: Yeah.

JOHN: hi nanna!

JOHN: jane, i mean.

JOHN: sorry, it's an easy mistake to make, because you're my nanna!

ROXY: lol

JANE: A pleasure to meet you, John. Or, poppop, as I used to know you.

JOHN: hehe, yeah so i heard!

JANE: You look so...

JANE: Young.

JOHN: thanks!

JOHN: so do you.

JOHN: my nanna, who used to be ashes on my fireplace, regained her old womanly visage when i turned her into a sprite, and she helped me along the way.

JOHN: so nanna is a sprite! did you know that?

JANE: Um... no?

JOHN: i thought you should know that. she's probably around somewhere. i hope you can meet her.

ROSE: (God damn Dave's contagious-ass Freudian boners.)

JANE: I still don't know what you meant by...

JANE: Wait!

JANE: You and John came from another reality, where everything went horribly, right?

ROXY: m-hmmm!

JANE: I just remembered. Really, it's been such a rollercoaster ride for my memory, since I fell asleep.

JANE: Your and John's travels were a critical part of the illustrated story we reconstructed through our memories with Callie.

ROXY: wat!

JANE: And we had ours on too!

ROXY: :O FUCK

JANE: She seemed to be doing well.

JANE: Nervous, of course, since she was hiding. But we passed the time with our stories.

JANE: It was a lot of fun! I'm so happy I got to meet her.

This blog is for an untitled Mewtwo Dojinshi by いなり (Inari) on pixiv. All credit to the artist, please be sure to check out their account.

The comic itself is untitled, but the first chapter was titled Casey's Troubles, with Casey being the Japanese name for Abra. I decided to use that title for the name of this blog.

Start reading here.

Or by chronological tag.

Please note, that while I am not fluent in Japanese, I am not relying on AI to automatically translate this comic. This may take me some time, as I want to make sure that the text fits and is easy to read. This comic is also just over 400 pages long, so please bear with me.

My Poke-Pinions #63-65: Abracadabra, Alakazam!

Abra Name: I absolutely love this line’s name scheme of Abracadabra Alakazam. While Abra on its own is nothing to really write home about, it’s really clever and cute when connected with at least Kadabra’s name. In Japan, it’s known as Casey, which is just too normal of a name to English ears for me to think it fits at all. It’s just awkward to call a Pokemon “Casey.” Being fair, it’s based on…

Kadabra has returned!

After 20 years, Uri Geller has given Nintendo permission to start using Kadabra in merchandise again.

Who is Uri Geller and why was it his decision, you ask?

Uri Geller is a ‘psychic.’ AKA a magician. His gimmick is having psychic powers and bending spoons with his mind.  He popularized the spoonbending thing.

But anything can bend spoons, right? Heeere’s the thing.

In Japanese, the Pokemon aren’t named Abra, Kadabra, and Alakazam. They’re named after three well-known magicians. Abra is named Casey, after Edgar Cayce, a psychic who went into trances and was known as “The Sleeping Prophet.”  Alakazam is named Foodin, which is basically what you get when you try and translate “Houdini” into Japanese.  Here’s the thing, though,  Edgar Cayce and Harry Houdini are long dead.

Kadabra in Japanese is named Yungerer, which is pretty clearly a Japanese-equivalent of Uri Geller.

So Uri Geller got pissed that they’d made some sort of monster version of him, sued Nintendo, and though the court case was never noticeably resolved, Nintendo stopped using Kadabra in merchandise outside of the games. 

Earlier this month, Uri Geller agreed to just let Nintendo use the Pokemon that’s obviously him with no further lawsuits, so Kadabra should be returning to random merch soon.

[grim-grimmsnarl]

tbf kadabra's japanese name is literally "yungeller"

That’s fair, but the entire Abra line is named after famous magicians in Japanese. Abra’s Japanese name is Casey (ケーシィ) after Edgar Cayce and Alakazam’s Japanese name is Foodin (フーディン) after Harry Houdini. While those magicians had long passed away before the creations of the Pokemon, I can’t find anything about their families being upset about their names being used as Pokemon. I still think it’s a silly thing to get mad over, there was definitely no bad intentions with the naming.

[gabbysdawsons]

abra x clint for the couples ask??

also asked by @oliviahxlts!

I mean its impossible to not have a little Dawson and Casey inspiration

oh oh oh the Jake and Amy vibes are perfect for them too

a little too perfect tbh

especially in this gif

honestly there’s a touch of Jim and Pam

little sliver of nick and jess too, but mostly for the roomates vibe and not the slow burn vibe

like I can see them doing this

and finally there’s some green arrow and black canary inspiration in there
