I will admit now, I am an anime freak, and I was browsing the net for anime themed decks. I found that there was a sailor moon one, hello kitty one, and saint seiya, as well as the miracle deck. However, what really made upset was the abscence of a Pokemon deck. Although I had drawn one myself long before, it lacks symbolism, and the Pokemon games and TV show are perfectly suited. Ash's journey in the first season corresponds perfectly to the Fool's Journey, and I am planning on drawing another one soon... here's my tentative list of Major Arcana. If you have any suggestions or web links, please tell me!!! The Fool- Ash Ketchum The Magician- Gary Oak The High Priestess- Sabrina The Empress- Misty The Emperor- Bill the Pokemaniac The Hierophant- Pikachu The Lovers- Jessie and James The Chariot- Ash, riding Rapidash Strength- Nurse Joy The Hermit- Professor Oak The Wheel- Mew Justice- Officer Jenny The Hanged Man- Ash and co., hanging off a bridge Death- Vileplume Temperance- Erika The Devil- Giovanni w/ mewtwo in armor The tower- Viridian city gym's destruction The Star- Clefable The Moon- Umbreon The Sun- Espeon Judgement- Ash trying to revive Pikachu at the end of the first movie The World- Ash with all 8 gym badges

There are also many Card Captor Sakura decks, as well as two Yu-Gi-Oh decks. How about having Gengar somewhere? Snorlax for Strength?

AWESOME. I was nine years old and right in the middle of the pokemon fad when it happened, and I do miss it. I still have my cards and games. It was so fun! My favorite Pokemon was always Evee, especially now that Evee has more evolutions-- I love Espeon! I'd love to see her on the sun. :) I'd love to see a digimon deck even more! I still have the monstrous crush on Izzy I had when I was ten. *giggles like a maniac* Edit: Mystic Swaps Tarot Cards for Pokemon

Okay... i was watching pokemon recently, and realized that temperance and the empresss were mixed up. Misty should be temperance (although she can lose her temper, she's also the "calm voice of reason" in seasons 1-4) Erika would make a good empress, since she trains grass- type pokemon... and maches the earth mother theme of the rws deck better.
