I guarantee you he has LITERALLY no LEGAL claim [as in owns the rights to the trademark, copyright, other) over the name or word kadabra or its Japanese name whatsoever--ZERO.
Have I made that clear enough for you?
Edit: Also:
"In 2000, Geller attempted to sue Nintendo for a whopping £60 million ($100 million). His claim was that the Kadabra character was in fact an unauthorized parody of himself. Geller also stated that the shapes on Kadabra's chest looked a lot like Nazi SS markings, something which he found even more offensive.
To quote Geller:
Nintendo turned me into an evil, occult Pokémon character. Nintendo stole my identity by using my name and my signature image. I want to tell the world before the start of the holiday season that I have nothing whatsoever to do with these violent characters.
Thankfully, the lawsuit was thrown out of court."
