Uri Geller attempted to sue Nintendo in 2000 over a claim that he was used as the likeness for the Pokemon 'Alakazam'. Despite his 'psychic' powers, he couldn't persuade a US judge...

For a start, what makes Uri Geller (rubbish name) think that Nintendo wanted to base a Pokemon on him? Clearly this is being very smug, no? You see, if Nintendo did base an actually Pokemon on him then it would have disasterous results.
Take a look at this scene from a High School Playground:
Kid A: I'll swap you my Pikachu for your Mewtwo.
Kid B: No, tell you what, take Uri Geller instead.
Kid A: No he has a rubbish name.
Kid B: But he can bend Spoons.
Kid A: So can I.
Kid B: Please take Uri Geller...
Kid A: Please don't make me.
Kid B: Sorry, or I'll have to sue you...
KID A: Ok, anything but Uri Geller the famous Pokemon who is not actually a Pokemon.
Thinking back to the Pokemon days all I can remember was that Alakazam was one of the most ugliest creatures out of the bunch. But clearly Mr. geller doesn't think highly of himself as this Pokemon 'looks' like him and 'acts' like him. Sorry, but Alakazam has a moustache and is Yellow...
Take a look at this scene from Nintendo HQ:
HQ Guy A: Dude, we're being sued.
HQ Guy B: By whom?
HQ Guy A: Uri Geller.
HQ Guy B: So, he sucks.
Nintendo and other big companys must get really fed up with messes like this. You make something big, you have alot of money, people want that money and so sue you for the stupidest things. All you can do is laugh in the end.
Uri Geller - Idiot of the day.

Good job he lost.
Idiot.
Idiot.
Kirby was based over me. I don't care - it's good publicity, and sad 17 year olds say Hi to me in the street.
Alakazam is actually quite powerful.
I was just saying...

I can't believe that anyone would try to sue Nintendo over something stupid like that.
