Ophie said:Uri Geller, a stage magician, complained that Nintendo used his spoon-bending gimmick without his permission. Geller informally lost the case, but Nintendo now avoids making cards of Kadabra to avoid provoking him again. The reason why Kadabra stays in the show, merchandise, and video games is because Geller sued Nintendo specifically concerning the card and not anything else.
(He has a history of starting lawsuits for just about everything.)

I actually doubt that the lawsuit has anything to do with Kadabra cards not being made...
The lawsuit was back in 2000. The newest Kadabra card was released two years later in Japan as part of e-card 4.
