In response, Dillon Deveney explained the role that localization played in the design proces s, and how it created some interesting conversations regarding what scenes to include, stating: One of the things that was a very refreshing reminder when working on this project was that, maybe this sounds obvious, but Final Fantasy is first and foremost a Japanese IP made by a Japanese studio
Back in the day, players would run Call for Family attacks to search for multiple Basic Pokemon, so having it on an auxiliary Pokemon is a great asset
This doesnt count if the evolutions have different types, if thats the case then it returns to Pokedex Number rule
So why would this be used
Ultimately, in spite of any exploratory design work, clearly, this interesting mechanic isnt really viable for an MTG set
