A I recall, in Japan, Bill was one of a great number of trainers that when Supporters first came out, was retroactively declared one (why that wasn't brought over here is beyond me).
 
In unlimited, Bill actually was very very powerful. It's a deck thinner, and not only does it replace itself, it draws an extra card, too.

And back when Lengendary came out, I recall it being played quite a bit. I remember using Bill, drawing into another one, using whatever I needed from that, then using Professor Oak, drawing into another Bill, playing it, and being set up.
 
Calling it now: Professor Oak gets Supporter'd in later HGSS-block sets.

^ this

I, for one, would like to see reprints of the original base set, perhaps as a "collector" item or something. Or maybe reprints of things like Lass, Mr. Fuji, etc. They were called Trainers because most of them were...Trainers. Now we're gonna call them Goods because all the Trainers have gone Supporter...
 
As I have said to others... Mom was born feeling like a man so she got a sex change and decided Mom wouldn't work
Her new name is Bill unfortunately she is no longer kind either :/
 
I wonder why they made it into a supporter, that was really not a smart choice for Pokemon. It's just another "Mom's Kindness", except now it's a pretty boy.

It's obviously more for flavor and nostalgia than actual playing. But yeah, kind of makes me wonder why they didn't just call Mom Bill.

It would make sense to me to print Bill as a "Goods"/Trainer, either as a Rare trainer or as a secret Rare. I mean, Pokedex Handy 910is lets you draw 1 card from a choice of two, so it's not *too* much different.
 
:(

R.I.P Bill. You where always there for me when I needed you. You would always get me that one card I always needed. But most important of all... You where my friend.

We'll miss you Billy boy:redface:
 
what are you talking about pop, didn't we all play bill/oracle at one time? I guess that just got replaced with erika.
 
mbe they are gonna make finally a new format.
Id love RS-on or anything like that

mayby the will start to support unlimited and thats why they are starting to reprint the broken cards.

One is a +1, the other is not.
 
This topic has been played out and, frankly, I don't like the obituary title (If I were a parent glancing over my kid's shoulder, I'd think "what is going on at this website?!" )

Locked.
