Why is Sabrina's Gengar a banned card?

Sabrina's Gengar was "banned" (meaning it wasn't released in the English TCG) due to its macabre artwork in the original Japanese release, which showed Gengar in a graveyard with tombstones and crosses, considered inappropriate for young audiences, leading to censorship in the English version where the background was changed to a generic void.
