do not compare yourself to leonardo da vinci

So like I rarely write any sort of post but like...I've been thinking about something a lot recently. What is that thing you may ask, well it's the League Cards from Pokemon Sword and Shield. Why? I'd been pondering what they'd be for in universe. I mean obviously they're a fun little thing for us to customize and share as players but they're mentioned in game as part of their region's... culture? Can't think of a better word for it right now. Anyways we not only get our own League Card but we have NPC's giving us theirs and it's not just Gym Leaders and the Champion who have League Cards but ordinary gym challengers have them too as evidenced by Bede giving you his League Card when you fight him the second time since at that point in time, he's just an ordinary gym challenger, even if he is sponsored by Chairman Rose. It's used as a way to give information on the characters to those of us playing and as a fun little collectable to those who like to collect things in game, but it's not just us getting these League Cards. There are generic NPCs who seem to collect them too given that in Wyndon there's a booth that was selling League Cards that a generic NPC was standing in front of and, if talked to, the generic NPC would mention that they were trying to purchase Rare League Cards but the booth was sold out. This likely means that, in game, League Cards are likely treated much like Chocolate Frog Cards from Harry Potter or, for a real life example, baseball cards. This means that it's entirely possible that, given how highly commercialized the Pokemon League is in the Galar region, each year, seeing as the gym challenge is mentioned to be an annual thing in game, there's a new set of League Cards out with varying rarities on cards. For example there may be common, rare, and super rare cards of the Gym Leaders and the Champion with gym challengers of varying rarities possibly even a few past Gym Leaders and Champions or other strong trainers tossed in the mix (and with how fervent the gym challenge fandom seems to be it's possible that some Gym Leaders and Champions from other regions may have super rare League Cards due to there possibly being fans of them in Galar/commemorate hyper rare League Cards if they visit the Galar region). It's possible that generally they're sold in packs like baseball cards are but there are some ridiculously rare ones only given out/sold at special events (think like the semifinals and finals in game or the mentioned exhibition matches) and some super special ones rarely given out by the specific trainer themselves. It seems pretty reasonable for what we've seen in this region. I don't know maybe I'm thinking too much into it, but it'd be an interesting bit of world building.
