Read more ↓Judge is a Supporter Trainer card, representing a character rather than a Pokémon. These characters often embody roles within the Pokémon world, such as gym leaders, professors, or, in this case, a competition official. While not a Pokémon species itself, the concept of a judge is integral to the competitive aspect of the Pokémon TCG and video games, ensuring fair play and adherence to rules. Judges are often depicted as stern but fair figures, maintaining order in the often chaotic and exciting world of Pokémon battles. Their presence reinforces the structured nature of the game and the importance of sportsmanship. Though not tied to a specific generation of Pokémon, the role of a judge has been present throughout the history of competitive Pokémon play, from the earliest games and anime series to the current day. Their inclusion as a Supporter card highlights their supportive role in a player's strategy, influencing the flow of the game by resetting the hand for both players, much like a real judge might reset a situation in a match.
