I like how the early description of charmander on the card stated that it would die if the flame on its tail went out.

Oh, that's just the tip of the iceberg.


"Spoink bounces around on its tail. The shock of its bouncing makes its heart pump. As a result, this Pokémon cannot afford to stop bouncing – if it stops, its heart will stop."


"It remembers every dream it eats. It rarely eats the dreams of adults because children's are much tastier."


"It carries a pendulum-like device. There once was an incident in which it took away a child it hypnotized."


"It pines for the mother it will never see again. Seeing a likeness of its mother in the full moon, it cries. The stains on the skull it wears are from its tears. It wears its mother’s skull, never revealing its true face."


"Banette generates energy for laying strong curses by sticking pins into its own body. This Pokémon was originally a pitiful plush doll that was thrown away. It seeks the child that disowned it."


"These Pokémon arose from the spirits of people interred in graves in past ages. Each retains memories of its former life. Each of them carries a mask that used to be its face when it was human. Sometimes they look at it and cry."
