The Counterpoints: What the Skeptics Are Saying I hope all of my readers are familiar enough with me to know that, while I do have my fair share of strong opinions, I try my best to be a reasonable person

I was initially skeptical, but thought it was worth trying out

We have the YIPPEE Pikachu a couple of spots above, and the UH-OH Pikachu here

The point is if Pokemon was modeled after MtG it would make perfect sense that the initial cards would have not had the concept of rarity symbols
