Talk:Item card (TCG)
Item Cards Subclass
I wasn't paying attention to the TCG back when apparently "Trainer cards" were split into "Stadium", "Supporter" and "Trainer (aka Goods)" classes. I certainly don't know when that happened exactly. All I remember was getting back into the game around the end of HGSS and seeing that cards that say something like "search your deck for a Trainer card" only referred to "Trainer (aka Goods)" cards, and thus couldn't grab a Stadium, Supporter, or any Trainer cards released before the split. I also do at least remember when Stadiums, Supporters, and Trainer-aka-Goods cards were brought back as subclasses under the single "Trainer card" main class, which then redefined the Trainer-aka-Goods as "Item" cards... so therefore—apparently—any references to "Trainer card" on a card made between the split and B&W now have been errata'd to refer to "Item" cards. Is that how it went down?
If so, then if someone doesn't edit it later, then I guess I'll do it myself. However, I don't remember when exactly the split happened. Was it with the release of DP? However, someone wrote in this article saying that "Goods" cards were introduced in Japan during HGSS... is that right or wrong? I'm not sure. Any clarification to this would be greatly appreciated. In the mean time, I guess I'll leave the article as-is. Nick15 (talk) 15:15, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
List of Tool cards that were previously Item cards due to the Scarlet & Violet errata
Do we really need this section on this page? Feels redundant with our Pokémon Tool card page (which already lists all of them), plus in the opening paragraph of this page we already mentioned how Tools were originally Items before being split off into their own thing. anZAsquiddles 2222(:D)SSSS (talk) 14:02, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
- The list I think is important because these cards were physically printed as Item cards, so for the casual reader who isn't tuned into hyper-specific rulings for gameplay, they would be surprised, and potentially critical of the content if they weren't listed. Maybe the presentation and organization could be approached different, but I think removing them would be a miss, personally. MaverickNate 23:54, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
