(AP) - Eleven-year-old Stephen Langsam prefers Japanese-language Pokemon cards to the English version. But when he plunked down $6 for a pack last month, he was upset to find one that included what he thought was a swastika. The red mark alongside the Pokemon characters Golbat and Ditto was a “manji,” a mirror image of the Nazi swastika. In Japan, where the symbol predates the Nazis by centuries, it means good fortune and can also represent a Buddhist temple. But to Stephen, his friend Marc Specht and their families, it was a Nazi swastika, the spidery symbol of hate and the Holocaust - and it didn’t belong in a children’s game. Nintendo of America, which makes- Pokemon;. products, announced Thursday that the card will be discontinued. ' • ’~\r ■*%* -V -- - V?? ; V > 4? • ^Before you pack I.
