>>42196870The idea of representing elemental types inside circles was super common place on early artwork, makes you wonder if the energy icons used in the TCG were originally meant for something else. Weren't the TCG energy types even featured in the anime at some point?
>>42197034I feel like it was retrofitted to be crop, but the original design doesn't look much like crop... It kinda looks like SMW's feather powerup. In Gen I there's an unused list of early badge names after the floor names. One of the names is Falcon Badge, so there's a chance it was meant to be a feather at some point.
