It was a promotional card for the second Pok\u00e9mon movie, handed out by theaters with the ticket.<br><br>&#8220;What\u2019s different about this card is that it\u2019s one of few cards not &#8216;legal&#8217; in any ruleset for the card game, as it has a different backing and depicted in Futhark Runic and Gothenburg Runic writing (to make it seem more mysterious). The movie\u2019s villain is also shown owning this card.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/empire-screenprinting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/feb2018_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-705\" srcset=\"https:\/\/empire-screenprinting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/feb2018_2.jpg 300w, https:\/\/empire-screenprinting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/feb2018_2-180x300.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>by<strong>\u00a0<strong>Rebecca Burg<br><\/strong><\/strong><br>&#8220;My sister\u2019s autistic. When my parents asked a psychologist how to improve her motor skills, he suggested a Game Boy. Ever since then, there were always video games around the house. The doctor was right, too. It did improve her motor skills.<br><br>&#8220;I still play a lot as an adult, primarily Pok\u00e9mon, a series that started with Nintendo\u2019s Game Boy. Whenever a new Pok\u00e9mon came out on a new handheld system, I had to get it. This led to a collection of them, advancing with each new edition. That\u2019s why I propped them up on display, so it would better illustrate how technology changes over time.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by\u00a0Rebecca Burg &#8220;Pok\u00e9mon is a series that was a huge influence on my childhood, and I [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":704,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[33,18,17],"class_list":["post-703","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-posts","tag-33","tag-employees","tag-photography"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/empire-screenprinting.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/703","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/empire-screenprinting.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/empire-screenprinting.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/empire-screenprinting.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/empire-screenprinting.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=703"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/empire-screenprinting.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/703\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":706,"href":"https:\/\/empire-screenprinting.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/703\/revisions\/706"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/empire-screenprinting.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/704"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/empire-screenprinting.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=703"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/empire-screenprinting.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=703"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/empire-screenprinting.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=703"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
