The Wall of Originals
The Wall of Originals (a.k.a. "The Failing Wall") is a large Relic of Fail showing Christian Weston Chandler's customized Pokémon cards, which hangs from one of the walls in Chris's room. The lighting in several of his videos suggested that the sheet is covering a window, but the new Tomgirl Pictures, released on 29 April 2011, have shown that this is probably not the case.
Some trolls speculate that the absence of the Wall in the Tomgirl Pictures indicates that it has been removed. Whether this is permanent or merely temporary is unclear. The fate of the Wall after the Chandler house fire is unknown, but Chris has implied that it is "physically lost".
Things to Note
There are several interesting trends which emerge when one takes in all of Chris's cards. They provide some insight into his game design process which further support the traits of Chris featured on the CWCki. Some interesting notes about the cards include:
- The earlier cards that feature Christian depict him as a disgusting mutant with a wide, flat nose and thick lips. This eventually branches out to include terrifying photoshops where an expressionless Chris is jammed into crude MSPaint backdrops.
- Note the first appearance of a female alternative for Pikachu, tastefully dubbed Chicachu, who can only deal damage when accompanied by a boyfriend.
- Plautistic. It is a plant that is autistic. It is extremely likely Chris seems to think autism and psychic powers are linked.
- Chris shows up as a trainer, a gym leader, as well as a Pokémon. In each of these identities, Chris has multiple forms/personas. This trend is totally in line with Christian's theme of acquiring a plethora of powers with little to no effort or explanation. He has created himself as a normal type in which he is depicted as an autistic Pokémon. This reinforces the conclusion that he considers autism a superpower in some respects.
- Many of his handmade cards have devastatingly synergistic effects or several complimentary effects at once. This allows Chris to pull off combos with only one or two cards. According to field reports about his card game technique, Chris would need these hugely layered card effects because his deck building skills may have been rather poor.[1]
- Despite spending considerable time on them, Chris has not tried to use these cards in official games at The GAMe PLACe.[2]
- Some of the cards that are based on pre-existing Pokémon (such as Blue, Donphan, Togepi) were most likely made in a response to early Generation II Pokémon revealings.
- The Yoshi and Luigi cards were based on an obviously fake Nintendo Power April Fool's Day Joke.
