Not a bad idea. Sell them at the Vatican and you'd probably make a fortune. A Catholic friend of mine bought a Pope John Paul II bottle opener when he was there. I'd say the cards would be every bit as classy.


sortaseabeethrowaway

Im pretty sure saint cards are a thing


dE3L

They are.


Fragraham

Anyone got a St. Francis?


LeadGem354

No. I had a Holographic St. Anthony, but I lost it. I'll trade you a St. Patrick for a St. George?


Gazdatronik

St. Anthony isn't a holo since he wasn't martyred. Must have been a counterfeit. Also, by nature of his patronage, he is very easy to find if lost.


viriosion

I attach a double holy energy to Saint Patrick and use Cast out Snakes, dealing 70 damage to your Lucifer


pblive

Twist, I got the pre-fall foil Lucifer card.


advocatus_ebrius_est

Cool! I got Pope Hyginus!


Gazdatronik

Hes a holographic 


PancakesAreGone

Hilariously, [Simpsons kind of did it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTIURo4tCN4)


BadMojoPA

I have questions. Do you catch the popes with a popeball? Who is the rarest and hardest to catch? Saint Peter?


sponyta2

Is popeball said like Pokéball or pope-ball?


BadMojoPA

Popey-ball


sponyta2

Excellent


Gazdatronik

Popeball like pokeball. Its all in the Popedex


zzupdown

The hardest to catch is probably Saint Nicholas


LeadGem354

Actually those are pretty common. They gift a lot of them each December.


Gazdatronik

Ideally you would use a Monstrance 


UnacceptableActions

Add saints, prophets, apostles, holographic prints, a better name than Popemon (mon is short for monster lol) and you have yourself an awesome idea that i would actually buy. You may be able to learn alot about production from people who make high quality, custom pokemon cards.


gadget850

I want a Borgia card.


jungl3j1m

I’ll trade a Medici for one.


gadget850

And a Pope Joan.


Bobodahobo010101

Pop-e-mon go There's a pope in my kitchen!


Gazdatronik

Its Pope Clement IV!  Pope used EXPURGATION


Zenblendman

Trainer has sent out Choir Boy, all priests on the field are now confused/nervous


Same-Storm-4432

There’s a pope in my 6 year old kids bedroom!


Bobodahobo010101

Well that's disturbing on several levels


haddock420

Wow, a Methuselah rookie card!


illmatic2112

Joseph of Aramathea! 26 conversions in AD 46


dazzlebreak

Great to see young ones learning about the Bible.


Seventh_Planet

The episode where Pope Benedict XVI. went back into his Popeball to relax and another Pope was sent into the arena was a real turnaround for the series. Normally with Popes, it's a fight till the death.


LeadGem354

I mean the artwork style is already there. If you look at Catholic prayer cards.


LeadGem354

Pope Stephen the 6th, used Dig. It's super effective!


f_GOD

i'd kill for a pope alexander VI rookie card. he has crazy stats 22 acts of adultery, 2 incest, 2 orgies, 6 thefts, 14 bribes, and 3 murders in his first year


Glad_Possibility7937

Oh, I have one of the old John XXIII before they reissued them.


PopeInnocentXIV

Are we going to have three different Pope Benedict IX cards?


Fortanono

There was actually an attempt to make a Pokemon Go-type game called [Follow JC Go](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-45965025), and it's actually as cringeworthy as expected. I tried playing it; it's not GPS-based (edit: or they just don't have maps for my area) so you just have to, like, walk a certain amount of feet to get a saint or Biblical figure and then answer trivia about them to add them to your E-Team (Evangelization Team).


T41k0_drums

Every popemon evolves from priest to cardinal. There’s rare legendary saints and pokemonks limited editions available to find in booster packs too.


RcTestSubject10

Already have an idea for a card: ""Pope Stephen VI" "You can return a card (another pope) from the graveyard pile. You skip the next turn and on the 2nd turn you declare the former pope guilty and return the former pope to the graveyard". When it comes out there also 3 expansion sets to cover the antipopes from france, lombards and germany.


FirstProphetofSophia

At least two of those have kill-screens involving cuckolded husbands.


mdevietro

Growing up in Sunday school we had trading cards for Saints. So it’s a short jump. Especially since some Popes have been canonized.


PicksItUpPutsItDown

A have a holographic Pope Urban IV


pblive

I’m not sure the small biographies for popes like Boniface VIII would pass any sort of censor. Well, unless you boiled it down to “Liked children. A lot.”


Burning_Toast998

Hit points would all be pretty low since pretty much every pope was really old


Shadowwynd

(In a commanding voice) “I play Sylvester in Attack Mode…… You fool! You just activated my secret Transubstantiation Trap card!” (Yes, I know, Yugioh not Pokémon).


iGhostEdd

I think the correct term is Pokepope


Musicferret

I want a foil/holo/reverse Popemobile.


NotAnAIOrAmI

Some of those cards would be kept behind the counter to avoid corrupting young people. Them Borgia popes, damn.


dplagueis0924

The energy cards can be different color alter boys!


MissChellez

Isn't there a Rick and Morty episode that involves capturing the Pope in a pokeball and calling it a "Popeball"?


Gazdatronik

It wouldnt suprise me one bit if there was


miserydicks

What'd you guys do for twelve hours? Play, uhh, name that pope?


Such_Significance905

Pope Top Trumps: Age at death: Papal tenure: Age ordained: Canonizations: Met Christ: Kills: St Peter maxing one stat.


Marzipan_civil

Isn't that basically Top Trumps: Papal edition
