I noticed in the latest addition of rulings from PUSA to the compendium, it would seem like there might be a double standard when it comes to basic energy card types, the following iscopied from the compendium.
Notice how you're suppossed to count the "type of energy card" it is, as what it's been turned into, and then
Notice how this ruling states that "You go by the color of the actual card since it designates "type of basic Energy card". ", now don't forget that the earlier ruling for Kecleon states that "Kecleon looks at what the Energy card has been changed into.", even though the Ditto would have word-for-word, the same power.
I don't want to start a flame war, or start a bunch of bashing towards PUSA, I just thought this should be pointed out, and this IS the right forum for this, going by the forum name.
Thanks for reading.
Q. If the Energy on Kecleon is altered in some way, does Kecleon look at the original energy card or what it's been changed into? For example, if you somehow changed Fire to Darkness, would Kecleon be a Darkness-type PokÈmon instead of a Fire-type?
A. Kecleon looks at what the Energy card has been changed into. (Sep 26, 2003 PUI Rules Team)

Q. Fossil Ditto vs. EX:Sandstorm Kecleon: per the wording on both Kecleon's Poké-BODY and Ditto's power, if Ditto has a Basic Energy card attached to it, would it be every single type simultaneously?
A. Ditto would use the actual color of the card for its "Energy Variation", not what energy it provides at any given time. You go by the color of the actual card since it designates "type of basic Energy card". (Nov 13, 2003 PUI Rules Team)
