How do you describe a Kadabra? I've been trying to for the last two hours and I can't.

In terms of what? Appearance? Source of ability? Something completely different altogether?
Because appearance is actually fairly easy. It's a humanoid fox. Alternatively, you could just call it a yellow creature with a bulky tail, brown armor, red markings, and claws curled around a silver spoon.
Source of ability comes solely as a psychic power, and given the Pokemon world, it's really generally accepted that every Pokemon has an innate supernatural ability anyway. (Otherwise, you'd be spending time describing the source of every Pokemon, which really is a little pointless because you can assume that the audience can understand and accept that Pokemon can use powers given to them in canon.)

Just the appearance...
Humaniod fox? I would've thought he would've been more of a gold...
I can't describe him at all.

Won't get this? Don't tempt me...xD
Let's see now...I'd say that it's a yellow, humanoid-shaped except for the hands and feet which are clawed and have three digits instead of five (feet have two toes at front and one at the back, sort of like a bird's, so I guess you could call those toenails talons if you like) and the legs are attached to the sides of its body rather than extending straight down like on a human. It also has an armor-like layer of brown skin covering its torso and shoulders and a fluffy tail similar to a fox's at the back, yellow except for a single ring of brown. The ears are pointy, as is its nose (which, incidentally, is pretty flat) and it has a set of long, yellow whiskers (or a moustache, if you prefer to call it that). It's usually holding a metal spoon in its hand and there's a red star pattern with five points on its forehead and another red pattern (which I can't make out properly because that area is sort of concealed in all the pictures I've got here) on its...I think that's called the pelvic area? Geez, never had a good head for these anatomic terms.
So yeah, that's about as precisely as I can describe a Kadabra. I'm sure there's some fancy geometrical term for that head shape, but I can't recall what that is. Come to think of it, its head and tail do bring a fox to mind, so I suppose you could just say that it's head is shaped like a fox's. *Shrug*
Anyways...I'm not sure, but isn't this more writer's lounge business? x3
EDITNESS: Dang, Jax Malcolm beat me to the punch...and did it better. xD

Humaniod fox?
According to Bulbapedia, the Abra line bears similarities to foxes. It's understandable, however, considering the ears and large tail. Alakazam turns more humanoid than the previous two evolutions, though, with the sudden lack of a tail while maintaining the fox-like pointed face and claws. However, with Kadabra, the fox-like features are still apparent, given the pointed face, ears, and larger tail than even its predecessor.
I would've thought he would've been more of a gold...
Yellow and gold are practically the same thing, only with gold being slightly darker (or metallic). It depends on how you perceive colors, but in a general sense, I choose yellow, as Kadabra's color appears to me to be closer to the basic color of yellow than it is to what I describe as gold.
And thanks, Alter Ego, but you did a more detailed description. XD
