Inspiration Piece #4

This is a "Shining Charizard" Pokémon card.  This has a three-star rarity, thus making it incredibly hard to obtain.  If you were to come in possession of this card, and move it forward and backward, it would shine, and the color of the Pokémon in the picture, Charizard, would change from this shiny white, to orange, to a dark black color.  In searching ebay.com for Pokémon cards that I will never have the extra money for, I came across this beauty, worth $275.95.  On the plus side, it had free shipping.


This genre, a mere Pokémon card, holds many conventions.  On a general Pokémon card, you can find the following: A name, a type, one or two attacks, a description at the bottom, an illustrator's name, a level, a weakness, a resistance, a retreat cost, the amount of HP (Health Points) that the Pokémon has, an image of the Pokémon, and a little bar saying what stage the card is.  The target audience for a Pokémon card is anyone who enjoys Pokémon, young and old, or anyone who enjoys strategic card games.
