Prime said:I would think not. It's hard to believe someone that has memorized a card, especially if that person is playing the card.
Which player are you referring to? The one using the card, or the opponent?joehardyreturns said:would the requirements of a english card be dismissed if the players know the text and abilities of the card?
Mewsmom was the first to reply to the thread. Unless replying to a reply is arguing, I was not arguing with her.PokePop said:Shadowcard: I wasn't trying to make it sound like you didn't like Mewsmom.
Just that is was/is not productive arguing whether it was legal with her, or others on the thread.
alright, we shall try talking about whether or not it should be made legal.PokePop said: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.
How is the card marked?PokePop said: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.
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.

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

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.
