- In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Kadabra was originally known as Pocus.
I think the people who named this Pokemon family was short and to the point. Something like: "So, we have those three Pokemon, which are Psychic-type. We need something cool for their names. Probably some unknown names of psyhic processes or things like this." And then, probably a guy stopped them and said: " Why do we have to make it complicated? Let's take this Hocus Pocus Preparatus thing."
- Kadabra has not been printed as a TCG card since the English Skyridge expansion in 2003. This may be the result of Nintendo and Pokémon Card Laboratories' desire to avoid further litigation from Uri Geller regarding his claim that Kadabra is a parody of him.
- Due to this limitation, Kadabra is also the only Stage 1 Pokémon that can be skipped by its Basic evolution, introduced with a particular Abra card able to evolve itself directly into Alakazam.
- For possibly the same reason, Kadabra has not made any anime appearances since Fear Factor Phony aired in the United States in 2006, except a small cameo in the "World of Pokémon" opening of Kyurem vs. The Sword of Justice.
- Kadabra also did not appear in Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, whereas Abra and Alakazam did.
Poor Kadabra. It is an amazing Pokemon. What do you think about this?
