Carddass

Like, it started in Japan.

The cards were the original, like the original no rarity base set is the first ever printed set, you know, bar some of the o- um, the stuff before that, the Carddass stuff and, and the rest.

But, you know, that's where it began, so yeah, I, I still-

The Pocket Monsters, is that, is that the OG?

I'm not going to

do the Cardass.

Oh, the Cardass one is pretty

sick.

Man, maybe later I'm going to have to find another vintage Mewtwo, but I might have failed this.

Three of the top ten selling Famicom games were Dragon Quest sequels, with Dragon Quest III in Japan's top spot.

Toriyama's Dragon Quest illustrations were featured in Bandai's Cardass vending machine trading cards, and the characters were transformed into toys, manga, novels, and a host of other products.

But, unlike Mario and Link, they remain local to Japan.

America did not share Japan's appreciation for the Toriyama brand, such that his covers for the Dragon Quest games were replaced with less cartoonish illustrations reminiscent of science fiction fantasy novels, although his illustrations still filled the actual game.
