But the game's creators quickly realized Pokemon doesn't have a chain mechanic, so it did nothing but cause ruling nightmares about the procedure to play it. Like there was a commonly played Ninetails that could discard a fire energy to search for a card as a power. So people were using the power when they didn't have a fire energy so their opponent would waste their power spray, because Pokemon had no real ruling for what to do in that situation.
