A Trap Card That Tributes An Opponents Monster While Calling Forth A Token To Your Own Field

The English print of "Dance Princess of the Nekroz" from Secrets of Eternity and 2015 Mega-Tin Mega Pack has "Necroz" instead of "Nekroz" in one instance in its card text

The Suplex card is a tabletop recreation of the moment Sabin suplexes a train in Final Fantasy 6

For example, Pokemon-EX and Pokemon V don't evolve from their normal pre-evolutions

So my guess is real animals do exist in the world of pokemon, but they are both extremely rare in numbers (due to so many pokemon in the world) AND heavily downplayed (the game/show/manga etc is about pokemon)
