Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

erratas inside card sleeves

I would think not. It's hard to believe someone that has memorized a card, especially if that person is playing the card.

would the requirements of a english card be dismissed if the players know the text and abilities of the card?

Which player are you referring to? The one using the card, or the opponent?
It doesn't matter if the players knows the card. If they're cheating, they're going to say that they know the correct text while they're lying about it, aren't they? Or even if they're honestly mistaken. Think back to when Mary was first out in Japanese and a lot of translations had it being played as a double Computer Search with no drawback! People thought they were playing it right. But until you got a real local language (english) card in your hand, you wouldn't know.

Basic Energy cards are another matter. They have no text.

Just that is was/is not productive arguing whether it was legal with her, or others on the thread.

Mewsmom was the first to reply to the thread. Unless replying to a reply is arguing, I was not arguing with her.

to the topic,

Mike L has spoken out for PUI and said that it's not legal, so it's not legal.
One could still argue whether it should be made legal, though.

alright, we shall try talking about whether or not it should be made legal.
I also would like to thank Mike L for representing the PUI's input on this idea.

When you go to a tourney and do it, you're still going to get called on for having a marked deck and possible kicked from the tourney.

How is the card marked?
From the Pokémon Organized Play Tournament Rules (Rules effective: 11/12/04; Last revision: 11/24/04), the definition of a marked card:
A card is considered marked if it bears something that makes it possible to identify the card without seeing its face, including scratches, tears, discoloration, bends, and so forth.
If a player’s cards are sleeved, the sleeves are considered to be part of the cards, so the cards must be examined while in the sleeves to determine if there is a marked card situation.
Cards with different backs or a different cut from the other cards in a deck are not considered marked as long as the entire deck is placed in non-marked, completely opaque-backed card sleeves.

You would have to look at the card face to identify the card with the paper inside. It should not qualify as marked.​

who honestly has super sensitive feelings in their fingers to feel the difference in thickness?

You would have to make an obvious effort of feeling the protector to try to find out if the paper is in fact in the protector if the protector is face down. I would be mighty impressed if a player can conduct said feeling while shuffling his or her deck.​

IMHO, the card is still considered 'marked' because it's _thickness_ is different from the rest of the deck...

For the protector increasing the deck size, it does not. testing the idea to see if this point is valid, I actually observed protectors which appeared to raise themselves higher than others when the paper was not inside but were normal and legal in every aspect. It was fairly impossible for me to find the protectors even knowing the proximity of where I had placed them in the deck.​
​
Neither the width of the protector nor the area around the particular protector is changed.​

Wait, what? I thought you could play any legal Japanese card, like a Japanese Neo G Dark Energy, without having any sort of translation to the side. I remember reading somewhere that all players were expected to know what a card did, so it wasn't necessary to have a reference.

You have till the end of the year to have EVERY Pokemon card memorized.
That new "Every player MUST know EVERY card" ruling doesn't go into effect until Jan. 1, 2005. ;)

I like to use the mistranslated version of Pokemon Reversal just to "screw with my opponent's head." :) :p :D

My Opponent: (Reads the card.) "Hey, I get to pick which benched Pokemon comes up!"
Me: "Sorry, here's the erratta." (Shows him the TC.)
My Opponent: "Bummer."
