Origin

This card may be a reference to the plot of Jessie, James, and Meowth in EP038, where they attempted to steal Pokémon by directly hacking into the PC system of a Pokémon Center, or to the many glitches, such as the Hall of Fame glitch, which occur in Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue due to the capture of Missingno..
