Most people think that WOTC Pokémon Trading Card Game is where it all started. I know I did.

But it's not. Before the TCG became the global standard, Japan had an entire ecosystem of Pokémon cards. Different companies, different distribution channels, different philosophies about what a card should even be.

I know because I was in Japan recently and stumbled upon it!

I became so fascinated that I spent a few hundred $ on it.

But at least my binder's first page looks like this. Right?

Anyway, I went down this rabbit hole, so you won't have to.

It researched the SOTA, cited related work, drew architecture diagrams, and produced a 6-page IEEE-style paper.

The Pokemon TCG market is inefficient. I built a tool to exploit it.
